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
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
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
