Sword for the Giantess 2 (wersja 2)

Verse

Wings unfold like the morning sky

Light elves weave their sorcery — a single line I try

Gerðr's eyes run gold as river stones

Sorrows in her smile that take a thousand moans

I hold the sword that cuts the night

But Surtr's flames are burning higher, out of sight

Pre-Chorus

No steel to throw into the fire's teeth

Every shield I carry is just a borrowed breath

Freyr fights alone with antler might

A price paid in advance before the final light

Chorus

Sword for the Giantess 2 (2) — no sword! No sword!

I gave it away and I'd give it again... (again)

Álfheimr behind me — Jötunheimr when (when)

Some prices you pay without knowing when

Verse

I traded Skírnir's ring for the one with four horns

Gullinbursti bristling where my shoulders born

The golden pelt of Bygul, her own true coat

Gerðr wove it all into a single throat

The nine worlds held in that first look I gave

She was the price of fire — Surtr's blade to save

Pre-Chorus

No steel to throw into the fire's teeth

Every shield I carry is just a borrowed breath

Freyr fights alone with antler might

A price paid in advance before the final light

Chorus

Sword for the Giantess 2 (2) — no sword! No sword!

I gave it away and I'd give it again... (again)

Álfheimr behind me — Jötunheimr when (when)

Some prices you pay without knowing when

Bridge

Not every hero wins with blade in hand

Sometimes the greatest victory is letting go of the land

Surtr's fire still rising, ash on my cheek

This is what it means to be a warrior true —

I stand for what I gave up, not just what I keep

Gerðr waiting across the flames, her love that doesn't sleep

Chorus

Sword for the Giantess 2 (2) — no sword! No sword!

I gave it away and I'd give it again... (again)

Álfheimr behind me — Jötunheimr when (when)

Some prices you pay without knowing when
