Baldrs Draumar - Slangen forgifter den utkledde

Loki was chained and bound by Odin to a rock
Tied on the coast, leaving his body there to rot
With a monstrous serpent above his head
Spitting his deadly venom for the dead

-Chorus-
And thus died Loki who betrayed the world of gods
Bound by fate, left alone with his thoughts
On the cold stones, by the salt sea
Taken vengeance for thee

Almighty Baldr
God of wisdom
Son of Odin
Let thy spirit be free

Strong white fangs deep inside your flesh
Blood running cold from faintheartedness
Sly giant Loki could not be kept
Alive by his wife who tried and wept

Let the serpent beast tear your head apart
May his venom burn deep inside of you
The strong poison is running through your veins
It is mingling with your treacherous blood
You deserve to die, Loki, false herald
Your torment shall be the tale of every living Skald

-Chorus-
And thus died Loki who betrayed the world of gods
Bound by fate, left alone with his thoughts
On the cold stones, by the salt sea
Taken vengeance for thee

The corpse of the giant was preserved by the sea
And every time the water dropped, everyone could see
The mutilated body, decaying on the stone
Recalling his devious deeds, when his bleached bones shone
