The Gregory Brothers - The Ballad of Loki lyrics
[The Gregory Brothers - The Ballad of Loki lyrics]
I'm Loki there are no men like me
I come with glad tidings
Loki, brother of Thor
I'm Loki and I'm burdened with
Glorious purpose i come to a world made free
Free from what? Freedom
Please put down the spear! No
Please put down the spear!
Why? I'm not going to give up the spear
Not going to give up the spear, the spear
We were raised together, we played together
Do you remember? I remember
Do you remember? I remember
Living in the shade of your greatness
I remember you tossing me into an abyss
I was and should be king the would-be king
I am a king, I am a king!
I've seen worlds you've never known
In my exile I have grown
I have grown, I have grown
You give up this poisonous dream!
Brother, come home, come home
I am no more than another stolen relic
Locked up here 'til you might have use of me
I'm the monster parents tell their
Children about at night
No matter how much you claimed to love me
All these years
Please put down the spear! No
Please put down the spear!
Why? I'm not going to give up the spear
Not going to give up the spear, the spear
Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
Loki, Loki, Loki there are no men like me
Loki drop the weapon and put down the spear
No, I'm not going to give up the spear
Is this not your natural state?
It's the unspoken truth of humanity
That you crave subjugation
The bright allure of freedom
Diminishes your life's
Joy in a mad scramble for power
In a mad scramble for identity
In the end you will always kneel
Not to men like you there are no men like me
There are always men like you
Please put down the spear! No
Please put down the spear!
Why? I'm not going to give up the spear
Not going to give up the spear, the spear
Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
Loki, Loki, Loki there are no men like me
Loki drop the weapon and put down the spear
No, I'm not going to give up the spear
There are no men like me a-a-a-hhhhhhh
