Grim Omens

[THE TRAVELLER:] "Harken, o'kinsmen what I have to tell The marsh realm is suffering from sinister spell Come gather around the ember so bright And listen to what has happened that night Unknown paths to areas unseen Surrounded by twilight, at heart kind of keen Through tendrils like claws I made my way Deities besides me tempting to stray As I roamed through these woods of old I felt there was something grim to unfold..." [TROLL CHIEFTAIN:] Forlorn mortal now listen to my vow An oath I swear as thy oldest foe Just before the next full moon rise We'll celebrate thy tribe's demise For too long we've avoided a war But now we'll start it with barbaric roar Fear the fall of the forthcoming night Its end will be thy end alike! [TROLL WARLORD:] O' powerful seer grant me thy charm The rage of a bear that no one could harm Ancient idols awake! For I offer thee blood Mortal lives I will take and drown them in mud! With the sunset at the edge of the heel-stone Let us summon by the marshland border For the war god's watching from his wood-throne Thus we will obey this final order [TROLL BERSERK:] Horror is mine... Bones I grind The skull of thine... They won't find In my lair... My hidden cave Thy despair! My home - thy grave! Blood gush I source - Bloodshed I force [THE TRAVELLER:] "The only reason they left me alive Is to announce that (at last) no one will survive Beware of the shapes that in twilight creep Grim omens that tell us we're (already) in too deep..."
