Once when we were returning from a battle   We got lost in a gloomy forest   In the middle of the woods   We saw an old house   With tired minds we knocked   The door very loudly   Old woman opened the wooden door   She asked us to come in with kind words   From her pot arose a scent so weird   Stunning and bitter but very summoning      Bring me a magic potion   It will heal my aching wounds   A taste so bitter that makes   My bleeding soul feel so good   It will make us sing and dance   In our endless feast   Or it might even unleash the beast in me      She filled out pints with that devils beverage   And served another round with a hideous grin   The world was spinning in a new light I saw   Everything and everyone was singing this song      With nature, trolls and the spirits of the forest   We are one; let our singing rise up into the stars   The witch's magic drum was still beating hard   When a goblin brought me a new pint and together we roared      Drink and dance!   People of the forest sing with us!   Who wants to brawl with me?   Who can shape a kantele from a pike's jaw?   Like the great one once did      Close your eyes   Calm your mind and drift away from the pain   Beyond dreams   Into the depths of the cauldron   Like a rain it falls   And mirrors nature's healing powers   Surrender this time   And relief you shall find      Catcher of souls   Hunter of spirits   Grant us the final drop of the life's elixir   I want to drown all my misery   Into the green trolls blood   And brown swamp drink   Fight against diminishing time   Burden of a solitary warrior's life
