Solefald

Seven years of pain for one night of joy
Loki tricked the lovers with a vicious ploy
He spoke to the queen in his softest voice
Told her he would give her the following choice
Either you were raped by the skald of the king
Death upon the man who would do you such a thing! -
Or you cheated on your husband, striking him down -
Both you and your poet will be sentenced to drown!
The queen was all tears, feared for her life,
Outlaw the skald, surrender him to strife,
But save our skin, no one should die for love!
Loki stared at the queen with want in his eyes
Thought A god born of giants, I lust for the queen!
Ill make sure this time theres no poet in between!
Said From this day and onwards let Loki be the one,
Your god and your beast, your father and your son,
Cherish me with kisses and honour me with pleasure,
Give in to me, and Ill protect you as my treasure!
But if you reveal who I am, or disclose what I have said,
Both the skald and you will sink to the abyss of the dead!
Garm the Fog of Hel will eat your heart and liver,
Even when cold youll tremble and shiver
For the rotten goddess and her hungry beast
Unless you join Loki the Tricksters nightly feast
