[Intro – cold wind sound, distant nyckelharpa drone] Loki Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh No one saw the fire start No one knows the trickster's heart The Mythology of Loki Ohhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr [Verse 1 – muted bass, soft nyckelharpa arpeggios] Born between the ice and ash Walked among the gods of ash Smile that hid a thousand lies Hand that lit the first dark skies They laughed when he walked the hall Never saw the shadow fall [Pre-Chorus – building drum rhythm, rising tension] Every gift comes with a thorn Every oath was never sworn Ohhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr [Chorus – distorted guitar crash, thunder drums] Uuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am the joke that turns to fear I am the whisper in your ear I break the rules the gods have made I am the price they never paid [Verse 2 – heavier bass, sharp nyckelharpa notes] Cut the hair of Sif's gold head Gave the wolf his iron bed Brought the mistletoe so thin Brought the end that all had seen They called me friend, they called me fool Until the day the sky grew cool [Pre-Chorus – intensified rhythm, vocal grit] Every laugh will turn to cry Every god will learn to die [Chorus – full band, layered backing vocals] Uuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am the crack inside the wall I am the flaw in every hall I light the fire that burns it all I am the fall before the fall [Bridge – quiet, only nyckelharpa and raw vocals] Bound beneath the serpent's spit Every god has forgotten it Chaos never truly dies It only waits behind the lies [Solo – screaming distorted guitar, nyckelharpa counter melody] (Instrumental Solo) Uuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [Final Chorus – maximum intensity, choir backing] I am the fire that will not end I am the foe you cannot mend When the last sky splits apart You will know my name at heart Uuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [Outro – fading nyckelharpa, distant thunder] The trickster never loses He only waits Uuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
