lyrics

Once there was a troll in a cave in the mountains
Rarely ventured out in the light of the sun
He likes to go out terrorizing strangers
Sometimes when he’s restless and alone
Over a ravine there’s a saggy old rope bridge
And that was where he liked to have his fun
He hated people passing by that way but says
You gotta make the most of those who come

CHORUS
There is a universe deep down inside of you
Do you wanna know the truth?

When he sees a traveller on the bridge halfway over
He grabs a hold of the rope starts going ape
And never stops until they beg him for mercy
And offer him their wares and their wage
Look me in the eyes he says and do not look down
And you’ll make it safely over to my side
If your manner’s pleasing he lets you keep your burden
He has no need for coins or supplies

CHORUS
Bridge
Don’t go down into peril
Do u wanna know the truth
Don’t go down into peril
Just admire the view

The ropes got frayed one day as the troll was pulling
He watched a traveller fall down screaming why
Into the deep abyss the troll went down to save him
Where no one’s ever made it out alive
The screaming question played on his mind
As he climbed and fell and climbed and lost his grasp
It gets so dark deep inside my cave
A fella’s just tryna have a laugh

CHORUS x2
