The Tragedy of Loki and Freyja
It happened in the world called Asgard
Never heard by human ears
The history of one heart, scarred
And moved by love and fear
It's the story of a liar
Loki was his name
His heart of ice catched fire
The goddess Freyja was to blame
But he failed to tell her
And she moved on alone;
Now listen to what occured
In front of mighty Odins throne:
At that time the gods assembled
To feast upon their victory -
Many goddesses hearts trembled
The cause was Lokis flattery
But beautiful Freyja, angered by this
Stood up and stopped the flatterer
Lokis pride got hurt and he hissed
And with terrible words, he hurt her:
"Why do I need to shut my mouth
When your legs are wide open?
Of all the people here I doubt
You'd find one whom you haven't loved then!"
And before anything could be spoken
He left; a lonely god again
The bonds between them were broken
A lie, told to hide the loving man
But even gods sometimes surrender
To a mighty enemy, love or regret
He still was drawn to the other gender
To the woman he couldn't forget
He arrived at her chamber
Thoughts of apologie on his mind
Just to learn that Odin sent her
To a location undefined
And Lokis world again was grey
As he cried into the wind
"Why did you need to take her away
Just because once I sinned?"
