Swedish meets English.
I just love Vintersorg.

Trollslottet is one of my favourite Otyg songs, so...
The mountain tales tell of a shady path in deep forests
A brushy path flanked by female trolls that have turned to stone
In branches is the desolate wailing from the wind's ardour heard
What lurks beyond the next turn, beyond the ghostly glow*?
Your fear is greater than that of becoming predator food
When you tread the path forward in a mysterious labyrinth
In hard, winding wander, an endless thralling burden
Through the depth of the kettle valley, up to the summit high
At its end the great shadow delights the human eye
Lures bewitchingly in the evening with castle-like silhouette
With a drawbridge over the moat, the towers glitter high
Like from a beacon, a strong light play adorns the main gate
A hidden kingdom in the wide coats of the clouds
Below now seemingly wanders the court of the midnight flame
Heavy steps up the mountain's ancient temple stairs
When the moon goes high in the sky, they praise the night
In the castle of trolls
The castle of trolls, dwelling of fairy winds
Troll castle
Troll castle
The shadows' rune chanting from this crowd
A gloomy hymn of metallic voices from heathen vaults
The fierce primeval trolls now sing in northern tongue
The mountain itself trembles before these ancient beings
Like prey in stony kingdom you are wickedly watched
They turn your vision's images, even your words
And never shall you you get mercy from the claws of the ancient castle
For you were given the potion of oblivion at the table of the troll king
In the castle of trolls
The castle of trolls, the dwelling of fairy winds
Troll castle
Troll castle
