The Tragedy of Loki and Freyja

It happened in the world called Asgard Never heard by human ears The history of one heart, scarred And moved by love and fear It's the story of a liar Loki was his name His heart of ice catched fire The goddess Freyja was to blame But he failed to tell her And she moved on alone; Now listen to what occured In front of mighty Odins throne: At that time the gods assembled To feast upon their victory - Many goddesses hearts trembled The cause was Lokis flattery But beautiful Freyja, angered by this Stood up and stopped the flatterer Lokis pride got hurt and he hissed And with terrible words, he hurt her: "Why do I need to shut my mouth When your legs are wide open? Of all the people here I doubt You'd find one whom you haven't loved then!" And before anything could be spoken He left; a lonely god again The bonds between them were broken A lie, told to hide the loving man But even gods sometimes surrender To a mighty enemy, love or regret He still was drawn to the other gender To the woman he couldn't forget He arrived at her chamber Thoughts of apologie on his mind Just to learn that Odin sent her To a location undefined And Lokis world again was grey As he cried into the wind "Why did you need to take her away Just because once I sinned?"
