THE PREY

Music and Lyric by Drakhen

In those sad days, in their heads.  The gods were crying and drinking wine.
The clouds were dark and fall to the ground.  The hammer pounded like a tunderstruck
All men were praying to the dying good God.  Beasts and fire, plants and stones.
Their scream of pain was lacerating.  The world was wrapped in a storm.

The Gods were angry.  Loki was waiting, he had to be punished.  It had to be done.
He fled far away, into the woods, he fled to a mountain, and built a house there.
He built four doors there, one on each side, so he could see out everywhere.
He knew how to see through the waters of the river.  Very far into the woods.

The mountain was snowy everywhere. 
He thought about how they could find him there.
The gods were now close.  And he knew it.

In those sad days, in their heads.  The gods were crying and drinking wine.
The clouds were dark and fall to the ground.  The hammer pounded like a tunderstruck
All men were praying to the dying good God.  Beasts and fire, plants and stones.
Their scream of pain was lacerating.  The world was wrapped in a storm.

One day he was sitting in the house on the mountain and the thoughts were as dark as nightmares at night.
The fire was lit in the stone fireplace.  The snow fell copiously and whitened the peaks.
When he realized that he was being hunted, he fled to the river and dived.
The gods were deceived and went to the shore.  They were finally close to their prey.

He came from the north, the God of Thunder, to catch the black layer. To stop the great dark.
 They surrounded the prey, down to the sea. But Loki was shrewd. He slipped away

Let's split into two groups, 
me in the north and you in the south, 
let's use our strength this time.  Let's catch the prey now.
This is what we want.  
Avenge the god Baldr.  
Death to the reaper.
Let's catch the prey now.

The mountain was snowy everywhere. 
He thought about how they could find him there.
The gods were now close.  And he knew it.

In those sad days, in their heads.  The gods were crying and drinking wine.
The clouds were dark and fall to the ground.  The hammer pounded like a tunderstruck
All men were praying to the dying good God.  Beasts and fire, plants and stones.
Their scream of pain was lacerating.  The world was wrapped in a storm.

He ran away again.  He fled to the sea. But the sky is now far away.
Thor grabbed him by the tail, and didn't let him get away.  So Loki the liar was imprisoned by the Gods.

He was taken to a cave.  
The Asir walled it with three stones.  
Each large stone had a hole.  
He was tied with Narfi's guts to the three stones.  
The guts became like of iron and stone.

Then they took a poisonous snake.  
They tied him over his head.  
So the poison dripped on his face 
making him scream in pain.

The liar screamed and squirmed in pain.  In his eternal pain.  
He was imprisoned in a cave.   In his eternal pain.
The poison fell on the face. In his eternal pain.
He was chained to three stones.   In his eternal pain.

A violent earthquake broke out.  
Victims of fate and black death.  
Iron and gold melt in swords.  
He will remain in the cave until that day arrives.
The prophecy of Ragnarok will come.  
The day of destruction will come.  

The prophecy of Ragnarok will come.  
The day of destruction will come.  
The history of the world will be told.  
He will free himself on that dark day.
