I torven jag låg med mordisk brand
Under mossan bland bergets sand
Lerad och täckt griper spjutets skaft
Genomsyrad av urgudars kraft
Besmyckad och döljd med kvist och lav
Jag lyfter min kropp ur skogens grav
När bytet nalkas på åsens brant
Inget ljud när jag krypa mot stigens kant
När nattens vålnad av skogen gjorts fri
Från skuggor jag resas med ett vansinnes-skri
Skräck ny fryser fiendes röst
Då spjutet spräcka, tugga hans bröst
Skövlarna dö, en efter en
Jag hänger deras huvud på trädens gren
Där de stirra fulla av häpnad
Änger i blick vid asfåglars skepnad
På hällen jag sprider ben och tarm
De blir nu mat för skogens garm
Jorden nu sluka deras kraft, deras låga
Så att deras ätt ej hit mer våga
Makt nu viska i höstlövens sus
När lundar ånga av rodnadens ljus
Då vandra jag ner under rotens gång
Då skogen i frihet sjunga sin sång
[English translation:]
[Death Of The Wasters]
I laid on the peat in a murderous blaze
Under the moss, in the sands of the mountain
Muddied and covered, clutching on a spear's handle
Impregnated with the power of ancient gods
Bedecked and masked with branches and lichen
I raised my body from the grave of the forest
When the prey approaches the end of the ridge
No light as I crawl towards the edge of the path
When the ghost of the night is released from the forest
I'm raised from the forests with an insane scream
Horror paralyses the voices of enemies
A spear bursts, impales his chest
Wasters are dying, one by one
I hang their heads on the trees' branches
They gaze there full of consternation
Regret in their look in form of carrion birds
I spread the limbs and intestines on the tiles
They become meal for the forest's beast
The earth absorbs their power, their flame
So that their kin won't dare to enter there anymore
Might is whispering in the fallen leaven
When the groves are steaming in the reddened light
I wander down under the roots' path
The forest sings its song in freedom
Finntroll is an extreme metal and folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal, death metal, and folk metal with a type of Finnish folk music called humppa. Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song "Madon Laulu" on Visor Om Slutet. Finntroll's first singer Katla decided to use Swedish over Finnish since he was part of a Swedish-speaking minority in Finland and the sound of the language seemed to better suit the band's "trollish" outfit. Despite several vocalist changes, this tradition has since been continued.
