Loki's Song
Mikal Hrafspa (Mikal the Ram) This is an intriguing song, one of the best I have seen for the mischievous Loki. The chorus is not repeated after the last verse. Pause after the word "Hark!" and deliver the last words like a question is being asked in hope of a positive answer... It can be quite eerie. I put chords to it, but it can be quite effective if done a capella.Check out Mikal the Ram's Site
Gm I was born in battle's fire Cm Gm And laid beside my mother's corpse Bb F Gm My toys the ravens of the field Dm Cm My lullabies the screams of horse
Gm F Chorus: But when that storm god you all praise Cm Gm Walks the earth and shatters trees Cm Gm You huddle close beside my gift Cm Gm And whisper prayers beside the spit Cm Gm And as the wood smoke turns and twists Cm Gm You owe your lives to sly Loki.
Gm Odin saw me on the field Cm Gm And recognized his bastard son Bb F Gm There he claimed me for his own Dm Cm Heir to all that he had won Chorus
Gm I am the slyest of the gods Cm Gm And Fire is the gift I gave Bb F Gm I am swifter than the wind Dm Cm And none can match the tricks I've played Chorus
Gm What is the honor they give me? Cm Gm Denied a seat in Odin's hall Bb F Gm Forbidden fruits from Idun's tree Idun = Eye-dun Dm Cm And cast outside of Asgard's walls Chorus
Gm So sit beside the fire’s gleam Cm Gm And count the wrongs that I have borne Bb F Gm I wait for Ragnarok and dream Dm Cm Hark! Is that the battles horn?
