Tell me mother How do I make the most of this gold ring? Put it under a ling snake my darling one How do I make the most of this gold ring? Put it under a ling snake in the old chest Left it for a few days and come back to check And the chest is falling apart The snake has grown so enormous That the chest is bursting at its very joints How has this made the most of my gold ring? Did you put it under a ling snake my love? How has this made the most of my gold ring? Perhaps I gave you bad advice my darling Carry the wretched chest down to the lake Cast it into the watery depths Sink the damned thing to the bottom Get this ling snake out of my life forever The beast won't stop its incessant growing Terror The thing won’t stop growing When is enough enough? It's grown too big It's so big now we cannot cope with it It eats our people one by one It really is intolerable to see our loyal townsfolk gobbled up one by one The venom sprays are constantly poisoning us It must be slain Send for the Finns, they’ll know just what to do We know they are a brave race of men, and true They have killed many a similar beast With the victors, we'll celebrate with a feast We are Finns Brave and true Swim down under the water Brave Finns ready for slaughter It seems there is another The monster's larger brother Set chains fit to restrain them Bring an end to the mayhem We will try to grab its flippers and its tail We will try to tie it down, fight tooth and nail We must restrain it, fight tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail And tooth and nail

Over battle, Ogress ran the red Blood of the serving man, tore off his head Her deadly iron mouth did gape Tore off his head and let out life Treefoot, treefoot, foot of tree Trolls take thee and thy company Treefoot, treefoot, foot of tree Trolls take thee and thy company I distrust this version of events Let Grettis face the music now Over rations, Grettis ran the red Blood of the serving man, opened his throat Will you go back home? He must be tried, Skeggi avenged Or stay gone three winters? Must be outlawed Lift the stone Grettir’s heave It was said a rock-troll, her weight did throw Into Skeggi's throat a short while ago Grettis outlawed Grettis outlawed

Summoned to present a baby to the font Or that's what I told him "Just a pinch" I said, but then I took so much more than that What was she called? "They named her Topsy, a true little lady," she said "Middle is her name, a little marvel of a girl," Or that's what I told him "They've asked for me again, to take a baby to the font," So I said What was she called? "Groove, they named her A graceless child, the bottom of the barrel." Butter's finished, all gone, 'cause I ate it. Ate thе lot Why'd I have to finish all the butter? Scoffеd it down What can I do about this pickle? Maybe I can find a handy scapegoat, a fall guy One who would eat all this lovely butter from our tun I could blame a tiny little fly Can this far-fetched tale really be true? Just a little fly? There the bastard is, let's get him now Lock the door, let's trap the butter thief No escape for you, bedevilled fly Come here so I can smash out your brain The blasted creature has landed on my nose You stay still, husband I will hit you in the face Here comes your smashed-out brain Strike it while it's still on my nose Strike it while it's still on my nose Strike it while it's still on the end of my nose

Riding over a glacier with your friends Drizzle and bracing wind whipping through your hair Stop, take a look over yonder, I can see four mounted figures Turn back and run away as fast as you can Gallop faster, we can lose them in the hills Faster, three left Faster, two left Faster, one left Dismount, en garde Crack, the cudgel strikes across the hand Wrestled to the ground Quick, tie the outlaw’s feet together Bind his hands as well I will haunt your dreams And I will kill you slowly Turn him over and unsheathe your knife Cut his tendons so he cannot flee Steel yourself against his bloody screams Taste my arse and try and haunt me now Riding over the glacier with your friends Drizzle and bracing wind whipping through your hair Heed this as a warning All the things you witnessed today Take them with you to your grave Hand over my knife so I can slit his throat Heed this as a warning All the things you witnessed today Take them with you to your grave I am warning you to never talk of this to a human soul Never speak of this ever again

Prowling giants cross the fjord Turn to stone when faced with the sunrise Jagged cliffs jut skyward, home to puffin, guillemot, raven Fearless men descend the cliffs Severed ropes send them to their maker Whether threadbare or intact, fate provides the same consequences Torn apart while plunging to a watery grave in the ocean Every bone is brokеn, dashed upon the jagged rocks of Drangеy Torn apart while plunging to a watery grave in the ocean Every bone is broken, dashed upon the jagged rocks of Drangey I will come and consecrate this cursed island Rid this cliff of malevolent forces Send me down to consecrate this cursed cliff face Lower me and bring the holy water Threads away from plunging to a watery grave in the ocean Hasty consecration, dangled from the jagged rocks of Drangey Wretched hand, get thee away, haul me up swiftly Save me from this hairy-handed bastard Prowling hunters scale the cliffs Fell to sea when faced with the knife edge Jagged cliffs jut skyward, home to puffin, guillemot, raven I see a rope I see a man and then I Reach for my knife Clasped in my hairy fingers I try to cut One strand, two strands Who do you think you are? The wicked need a place of their own too I see a rope (I see a rope) I see a man and then I (Man and then I) Reach for my knife (Reach for my knife) Clasped in my hairy fingers (Hairy fingers) I try to cut (I try to cut) One strand, two strands (One Strand, two strands) Who do you think you are? The wicked need a place of their own too The birds collect on heathen ground The birds collect on heathen ground On heathen ground

Escape from the black death. No corpses on the island. One sent to investigate. Go forth and dispatch our absent brother. Thus is made the sending Dead bodies everywhere. Stone houses left wide open, But here's a bolted door: A sign of a survivor! Trap the sending inside a lamb bone. Codger's cave-skull, burning human bellies. Fly released from his bony prison, Like a mountain, Trees flattened by wingbeats, All consuming swallows other sendings. Now everybody's dead, And we are free from sendings, Repopulate the Earth. Incestuous new bloodline. With the help of an old cave-dweller (ugly face, but helpful) We are safe from the rusty spectres. Don't judge a book by its cover. Mother in the pen, Primp and charm the men. Take my swaddling rags to don, And dance with them. Thanks to primarilyben, skenneyschool for sending these lyrics.
