Tuuril' pääsin tupahani, jo pojjaat huutoo ohthamaan Emmää mittä juominkeja Kunhan yhdet maistethaan Josvain päästään tavernahan Sieltä kullan nappahan Kunhan pääsen juttusille Sieltä tulen reisihille Santul' myö saahaa Santul' myö tehhää Ei myöl ol kulttaa Huh hah hei Myö oomma viskivä juonna Tanssittanu neitosia Pelimannit mekhaloivat Myö hakkaama tahtiva Kuule, tyttö, istuppa poloveen Keskijalan laithumille Siin on koto, siin on suoja Siin on hyvä immen olla

I swore last week I would never drink again But Friday's here and my spine's about to bend Grab your brew and hoist the dew Keep the gold flowing to the bitter end I'll drown myself in that malty sap tonight Forget my strife and embrace the sweet delight So gather the crew and hoist the dew Sing and dance away to the morning light Hoist the dew! Pour the stew! Hoist the dew! When the fog rolls in and you can't see the road you're on Elixir and friends you can rely upon Don't feel blue, just hoist the dew Don't forget you're not trailing alone

Äventyrsvisan Nu ska vi gå Mot okända För en härlig tur Ljuset förvissnar vid roten av tornet Dvärgarna gräver fram ymnighetshornet Bara att hitta att sista dropparna är kvar Gruffet börjar för sista droppet När äldredvärgen gapade högt "Dags att marschera mot påfyllningen av guld" Dvärgarna skingras i småa grupp mot alla väderstreck att hitta guldet i vätskeform Äventyrsvisan Nu ska vi gå Österut Och längre bort Äventyrsvisan Nu ska vi gå Vesterut Och längre bort Tretton dvärgar vandrar för dagar att hitta det "aqua del vida" Tills dom möter Jätten från berget Dvärgarna intränder jättens hall Dom eggar kungen till en dryckestävling Men det listiga folket Från underjorden Har ett ess i ärmen Äventyrsvisan Nu ska vi gå Norrut Och längre bort Äventyrsvisan Nu ska vi gå Söderut Och längre bort Dvärgarna lurar jätten, dom drycker turvis Kungen ser dom duppelt fast dom förminskar Äntligen trillar bergets kungen under bordet (dricker jätten) Rånar lillafolket långhusets mjöd Håriga folket vandrar hemåt fylla som fan, fem mörklägda och ett stor fat på ryggen Mjödet är vårt Dags att fira Starkt och mörkt guld, saltat gris och dans Skärande gapet Mitt i natten Hindrar festet MJÖDET ÄR SLUT! Ut igen!

Star 03:39
When I open my eyes and I gasp for breath, There's a hammering pain and a wish for death Yet trough the haze of agony; I see a glorious visage glaring o'er me With quivering hands I reach for the light Crack the cap and revitalize So take my hand, o morning star, And guide me through this dark Star in the morning, star in the night. Hazing the vision, drinking the light Star in the morning, star in the night, Making my pain subside Star in the morning, star in the night. Hazing the vision, drinking the light Star in the evening, all through the night, Making my pain subside Cut this cognac it seems fine, Never fails to set me right Gazing the neck and the open hole, The light will take it's toll Star on the bottle, stars in the sky, I'm lost in the river of time So take my hand, o morning light, And guide me through this night Blessed be the morning, blessed be the night Blessed be the star that gives me the might! Starlight makes my pain subside!

Give me 13 pints of beer That's why I am here To get so drunk that I can't see to erase my memory! (Erase my memory!) Bring a tankard, bring thirteen O, so thirsty, I skull the first beer The second one won't last very long I've got eleven more to go after all It's getting jolly, o' can't you tell We're already down to ten! Raise the stein, the number is nine, The stars align, we're havin' the time of our lives, so join in and... Give me 13 pints of beer That's why I am here To get so drunk that I can't see to erase my memory! Jug number eight, the name of the game Tonight there is no shame Seven and six, firm in my grip Akimbogrog, that's what they call me Flasks five, never felt so alive Flagons four, I charge the dancefloor Still got three, we begin to sing Final two, about to spew So give me 13 pints of beer That's why I am here To get so drunk that I can't see to erase my memory! Last pitcher of beer in front of me I'm almost ready to give up and go to sleep But before I go I must defeat this test To earn my rest, I must complete my quest! Give me thirteen! Give me thirteen! Give me 13 pints of beer That's why I am here To get so drunk that I can't see to erase my memory! To get so drunk, that I can see To reveal my destiny! HEY!

Nightfall 05:33
I sit alone in the dark There's a bottle half-drunk and a deck of cards Past eve is clouding my mind I reminisce and raise another pint Another pint for the ones that fell in the night May we all meet again beyond twilight The reign of the night has fallen o'er us The still of the moment hangs so hefty above So I await the dawn The sands of time drip away Through darkness eternal Frozen in nightfall In darkness I yearn for the light Events racing past my eyes Staring right back trough time To places and moments that long ago have died

Golden Rum 03:34
Tall tales, lies, whispers I have followed, In search of gold to this hellhole Dozens of poisons, I've tasted 'em all! But I'm looking for one in particular... ... but you're telling me you have no more! Oi, bartender, I must protest, I can't see a single bottle here of your best! I want that rum, fuck all the rest, I know that you're hiding it under your desk! Give me that golden rum! It tastes so good and I want some Give me that golden rum! It's the greatest drink under the sun! Give me that golden rum! It tastes so good and I want some Give me that golden rum! And the night has but begun! Oi bartender, yer big and round, but I've put bigger men under the ground I'm prepared to stab, gouge, hang and drown whatever it takes to get this round! Don't lie to me, you worthless eel, my blade is sharp and my thirst is real, I'll tie you and pull you under the keel, But you can evade this destiny! You only have to.. Give me that golden rum! It tastes so good and I want some Give me that golden rum! It's the greatest drink under the sun! Give me that golden rum! It tastes so good and I want some Give me that golden rum! And the night has but begun! So what's this talk of a rum I hear? I've been in here for weeks drinking shit beer I've been spilling my guts all over the pier, It's about damn time to set things clear! So give us that golden rum! It's the greatest damn grog made under the sun! So give us that golden rum! get that liquid inside us! So give us that golden rum! It's the greatest damn grog made under the sun! So give us that golden rum..... ....or we'll burn this tavern to the ground!

As the summer days fade away but the thirst still remains A fragile sound in the air, hear how the longing calls for our names I know of only one place, that keeps the cold at bay A warm pint of mulled wine to the face Don't ignore the call, damnation awaits! To Marketplace Owl! The name we howl! The place is shite, but we'll go again tonight! To Marketplace Owl! Worst beer of the town! No frowns allowed, we're going down to drink another round! Where the ale is stale and the days are gray We drink our pain away Warmth and shelter, from the icy hail Windswept and frozen, the way takes us back again to... Where the ale is stale and the days are gray We drink our sorrows away...

Here we sit in a smoky saloon And the outside world is all doom and gloom The barman keeps pouring us ales He asks no questions and keeps out of the way We've come a far way from home To welcome the nightfall Now's the time to sing, time to rejoice Now's the time for cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! We're abroad, cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! Smoke and alcohol! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! Gimme more cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! That is what I want! Upon the deck, the seas we roam And akin the devils we drink and roar Sealegs and a grin, the wind we face With a bottle in hand, and tobacco ablaze We've come a far way from home To welcome the rays of dawn Now's the time to sing, time to rejoice Now's the time for cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! We're on a boat, cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! Smoke and alcohol! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! Gimme more cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! That is what I want! So when we're going on the road again and we end up in that smoky place I hope you'll join me and partake In a cigar and grog, old friends Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! We're on the road, cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! Smoke and alcohol! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! My mind is gone, cigars and grog! Cigars and grog, cigars and grog! We're back again for more!

Mehtävisan 00:34
In the morn we'll form A march forlorn To the depths of the forest where we'll BE REBORN! We know of a grove, tranquil and old, A great fallen oak Where the MUSHROOMS GROW! Toadstools and mold the tales have told You can travel to the moon and the HELLS BELOW! Come take a bite, despite the fright Witness strange sounds BECOME ALIVE! Come take a bite, you'll feel allright! and listen to the COLOURS OF THE NIGHT!

Drunkover 03:56
Yesterday was a lotta fun Drinking up until the sun Just woke up, still a bit drunk Yet the hangover has also begun My eyes are glazed as I stumble across Those snoring corpses on the floor Not a moment too soon I reach the door With majestic colors I paint the porcelain throne There's a half-drunk beer on my desk Got to drown this aftertaste Refreshment, lukewarm and stale I feel the life return again Alcohol, more and more, Never let the madness stop Alcohol, I want it all Drunkover, mayhem beckons! Alcohol, more and more, Never let the madness stop Alcohol, I want it all wake up, cunts, let's fucking go We're drunkover! A deep gulp and a weird sidetaste Cigarette butts, ashen taint Bile is rising up the drain And here we go again! Alcohol, more and more, Never let the madness stop Alcohol, I want it all Drunkover, mayhem beckons! Alcohol, more and more Never let the madness stop Alcohol, I want it all Another night, let's fucking go! Circling the drain in my personal hell The world keeps spinning around me, Which side is up I cannot tell I spew blood and bile, hallucinate Damned devils of delirium, let me out! So I can come back again!

Sing the tales of tumult! The long line of history has lead to you and me Many a great men lie under the ground, where oblivion rules king Some choose to be blind, some cut short their time, some await for eternal sleep But none can avoid the hurdles of life, so we might aswell enjoy the ride! For life is a breeze We're but leaves in the wind Unwind and raise your pints Do not fear the end of our time It may be tonight that the reaper arrives and cradles all of us goodbye Although we're doomed, our lives are still good So sing the tales of tumult This moment is all you can hope to control, so stand up and face the call! God may be dead, but we sure ain't yet, come gather around my friends! For life is a rain, the sun must come up again! Unwind and raise your pints, under tumultuous skies! It may be tonight that the reaper arrives and cradles all of us goodbye Although we're doomed, our lives are still good So sing the tales of tumult
