Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the deep fjords where the mountains rise,
Where shadows grow long beneath the skies,
The trolls come forth with the fall of night,
Their steps so heavy, their eyes burn bright.

From granite caves and forest thick,
Their fingers grasp with iron grip.
No mortal dares to face their might,
In frozen lands, they rule the night.

[Chorus -
"Trollar stórir, fjöllum við búa,
Fegri drekka, himna lofa.
Aldri sólin, eigi hliðstæð,
Vaka djúpum, í nótt þrá."
(Mighty trolls, they dwell in mountains,
Drink in beauty, praise the heavens.
Never sunlight, no equal found,
Awake in the deep, in night profound.)

[Verse 2]
Through stormy winds and endless snow,
They shape the earth with a crushing blow.
Their eyes gleam red in the cold moonlight,
No man can stand in their fearsome sight.

The shepherds hear them in the hills,
Their footsteps echo, bring icy chills.
The trolls grow silent with the dawn,
But in the night, they rage till morn.

[Chorus -
"Trollar stórir, fjöllum við búa,
Fegri drekka, himna lofa.
Aldri sólin, eigi hliðstæð,
Vaka djúpum, í nótt þrá."

[Bridge]
At twilight’s end, beware their call,
In mist and snow, they stand so tall.
The mighty trolls, with power untamed,
Their legends spoken, their names reclaimed.

[Chorus
"Trollar stórir, fjöllum við búa,
Fegri drekka, himna lofa.
Aldri sólin, eigi hliðstæð,
Vaka djúpum, í nótt þrá."

[Outro
