The Weight Between Two Worlds

Verse 1

Nine worlds hung in the web before I was born

Fate had already chosen which roads would be torn

I know every name by the second they're sworn

I count them out loud like a thing that's already forlorn

Mistletoe and ash — the threads of the earth — the storm

Two men stood there: one god, one mortal form

One said let it go — the other said seal and keep

The weight was mine after that — I learned to sleep

Bjarki was born blind but his name stays in flame

I know what he'd ask me if he knew my name

Pre-Chorus

So tell me then, why I didn't speak it clear

Why the thread stayed tied and the outcome still here

Chorus

I'm the weight between two worlds — between the oath and the break

Nobody asks for silence when they can just take a look

That's what Odin pays his ravens to bring back whole

But a mother keeps the knowing in her chest

No one asked me if I wanted this on my hands

The whole nine-worlds tapestry was already planned

Verse 2

I see every sword that lands — every stone that breaks

Every promise sworn and broken at the same old stakes

Loki came dressed as a woman and I read it too late

Gave him what he wanted like my silence was his right

The hall went quiet after that — not one word got said

Everyone else remembers the mistletoe instead

But the debt is mine alone: every promise unkept

Odin's got the ravens — I've got this in my chest

Pre-Chorus

So tell me then, why I didn't speak it clear

Why the thread stayed tied and the outcome still here

Chorus

I'm the weight between two worlds — between the oath and the break

Nobody asks for silence when they can just take a look

That's what Odin pays his ravens to bring back whole

But a mother keeps the knowing in her chest

No one asked me if I wanted this on my hands

The whole nine-worlds tapestry was already planned

Bridge

Some gods plan centuries ahead — the wheel turning slow

I just kept counting names until I knew which road

It wasn't power that held my tongue — it was only the cost

Every oath I sealed is someone's lost life now, not yours — what it's for

Chorus

I'm the weight between two worlds — between the oath and the break

Nobody asks for silence when they can just take a look

That's what Odin pays his ravens to bring back whole

But a mother keeps the knowing in her chest

No one asked me if I wanted this on my hands

The whole nine-worlds tapestry was already planned
