Their hands were all a-sweating,
And their heartbeats, they were racing.
"I've seen Angmar's Watchers, and
I've seen the Flaming Deeps,"
said Kashvi to her brother,
"But that leg gives me the creeps, so
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
Dante said, "you duck and hide,
I'll show myself and play him,
And when he comes to crush me,
You slip in behind and slay him.
"Eat and drink some snacks first.
If you got 'em, get to smokin.
I'll sing a song of fortitude and
hold up a hope token, but
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
So Kashti struck a mighty blow
When Ukko rushed her brother,
But then the giant's deadly foot
slammed backwards and did crush her.
A giant with an iron foot,
A minstrel with a lute
And Kashti mangled in the snow
Beneath the stomping boot
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
Two minutes before Kashti
at their birth made him big brother
and he couldn't go without her
back home to face their mother
So Dante shredded lute so fast,
He played through blood and blister
He dove around that deadly foot
And grabbed his flattened sister
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
The minstrel's magic surged through her,
She opened up her eyes
"I'm not dead," she uttered,
in complete and real surprise.
She hauled her legs beneath her
And she willed her feet to go,
But Ukko's iron foot again
stomped her into the snow.
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
Dante dodged another blow,
Prayed to the gods of luck,
But saw again his sister fall
And grimaced and spat, "Fuck!"
They say that minstrels cannot dance,
They're ever cursed to play,
But dance he did, with Ukko
And that iron foot that day.
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
Dante sang of lightning,
he howled out songs of fire,
His music filled the snowy vales
And echoed in the spires
His shouts were like the thunder
A crushing wall of sound
Ukko Surma's eardrums burst, and
He toppled to the ground
Watch out for Ukko Surma,
Splat, splat, splat
That foot is coming down,
Splat, splat,
That foot is coming down,
Watch out for peg-legged Ukko
There's creatures in the snow hills
And tigers in the blizzards
The hot springs of cold Forochel
Are full of hungry lizards
Be wary of the giants
with metal legs and boots
And never harm a girl whose
twin brother plays the lute
Watch out for angry minstrels,
Shred, shred, shred
That lute is going to play,
Shred, shred
That lute is gonna play,
Watch out for angry minstrels.
