As punishment for the death of Baldur, the Gods bind Loki to a rock where a viper continually drips poison onto his face. Loki is attended by his wife, Signy, who catches the poison in a bowl. Every time Sigyn turns away to empty the bowl, Loki is burned again and his anger shakes the earth.
lyrics
Bound to this stone, safe from the worlds of gods and men,
My husband held, tormented evermore
Fate led you here, cruel is the weave that guides us all
To flame fairwelled, waiting the final war
Rembember Odin, at the dawn of time
brothers, you and I
A table was set, for our cups
our blood, intertwined
Loki sleep, I am here, at your side always
when your bonds break at last, you will be free once more
Thor, your wife whose hair I stole
While she slept by my side
A hammer I forged to repay a debt
Payment for that night
Oh gods, they have no right, you feast with them as honored friend
With treachery, they seek your end
My weapons lie at the gates of Hel
In a chest with nine strong locks,
The rising tide of death does swell,
To bring them to my hands
Loki sleep, I am here, at your side always
when your bonds, break at last, you will be free once more
The time will come, to build my pyre
Fueled by the ninefold worlds
To lay across the bodies of gods
A sacrifice to myself
Arise, freed from your bonds, your children heed the call to war
Ragnarok, the battle song
This tormenting rain, will melt my chains and set me free once more
Bring my children to me, and by my side we shall burn the world of men
The sea will rise and the earth will freeze, a thousand years of war
To bolster my army, against the gods, a debt paid in the end
Bound to this stone, safe from the worlds of gods and men,
My husband held, tormented evermore
Fate led you here, cruel is the weave that guides us all,
To flame fairwelled, waiting the final war
