Blessed Deceit 2 (версия 2)

Verse

I took the hand of Nornir as they carved my name

(Inscription!) Before the fire I set a flame

The gods did laugh at my tongue in chains but I smiled

You cannot bind a shape that will change your tide

They bound me with entrails and gave me a crown

But the trickster's the only one who holds his ground

Baldur fell beneath the mistletoe I'd set in place

I watched the Allfather ride out on the wolf's face

Pre-Chorus

I'll father the darkness that will swallow your light (the light!)

You can try to bind my mouth — but nothing can stop flight!

Hold fast to the fire and watch it burn you whole (whole!)

The trickster does not bend beneath a single soul

Chorus

Blessed is the deceit, blessed are the lies I've told

(Told!) For every chain they broke me stronger than gold

I'll father the shadows and hold them to the sky (sky!)

Watch them all fall silent — then the trickster will cry!

Blessed is the deceit, blessed are the lies I've told

(Blessed!) The gods themselves would have given up long before — not me!

Verse

I stole the apples of Idunn to grow my own

The fire they gave to Hel instead of letting it atone

I watched Sif's golden hair as it drifted through the air (air!)

Every sacrifice was just a chance to prove I care

Loki, Loki, blessed with no name — no tie

I am the shadow under your shining light

(Shining!) Every god who ruled now fears the dark of night

The snake in the garden hisses at every single one

Who says the trickster's done, the end has finally come

Pre-Chorus

I'll father the darkness that will swallow your light (the light!)

You can try to bind my mouth — but nothing can stop flight!

Hold fast to the fire and watch it burn you whole (whole!)

The trickster does not bend beneath a single soul

Chorus

Blessed is the deceit, blessed are the lies I've told

(Told!) For every chain they broke me stronger than gold

I'll father the shadows and hold them to the sky (sky!)

Watch them all fall silent — then the trickster will cry!

Blessed is the deceit, blessed are the lies I've told

(Blessed!) The gods themselves would have given up long before — not me!
