Lyrics
Down…
down…
hear the stone…
hear it groan…
Clap! Snap! the black crack!
Grip, grab! Pinch, nab!
Slice the throat and spill the red
Down, down to Goblin-town
You go, my lad!
Deep where the roots twist tight below
No light survives, no mercy to show
Claw through shadow, breath runs thin
You crossed the dark now the slaughter begins
Grip, grab don’t let go
Drag them where the cold blood flows
Snap, crack hear them fall
We’ll kill them all, one and all
Down, down to Goblin-town
Spiral paths that drag you down
Laughing mouths and jagged sound
We’ll slaughter everyone in Goblin-town
Rust and iron, teeth and stone
Every scream becomes our throne
Twisted tunnels, broken ground
We’ll gut them slow and grind their bones
Round and round far underground
Piles of corpses all around
No sky above, no light to find
Only blood and death behind
Clap! Snap! the black crack!
Grip, grab! no way back!
Clap! Snap! the black crack!
Grip, grab! we kill them all!
Down, down to Goblin-town
Buried voices, screams resound
Ho, ho—hear the sound
You all die in Goblin-town
Clap… snap…
the black crack… Down…
down…
to Goblin-town…
