Текст песни
They carved his name
On every broken stone
Every failed oath
Every shattered bone
They spat "mischief"
Like a curse and a brand
Tied all their trouble
To the lines of his hand
Blame it on Loki
Blame it on me
Throw your storms on the hungriest tree
Make me your monster
Call it your law
But I was the wound
Long before I was the claw
(I was the wound
Long before the claw)
He joked too sharp
In the gold-lit hall
Mocked their pride
Saw the cracks in the wall
They roared with laughter
While they sharpened the knives
Smiled at his stories
Then cut at his life
Blame it on Loki
Blame it on me
Cast your sins in the cold
Dark sea
Make me your shadow
Spit out my name
But I only answered
To a greater shame
(I only answered
To your shame)
Who bound the wolf?
Who bled the child?
Who fed the fire
Till the fire ran wild?
Who broke the brother
With a jest turned rough?
How much cruelty
Will they call "tough"?
The last small kindness
Left his eyes
Fetters ringing
Over jeering cries
Dripped their venom
On his open face
Still they asked
Why the world caught flame
So blame it on Loki
Blame it on me
You forged the lock
Then you called it a key
You made your scapegoat
You made your war
Now hear my laughter
From a cracking shore
(hear my laughter
From the shore)
Let the gods remember
When the sky turns red
