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!
I'll make sure this time there's 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 I'll 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 you'll tremble and shiver
For the rotten goddess and her hungry beast
Unless you join Loki the Trickster's nightly feast'
The lyrics LOKI TRICKSTER GOD of SOLEFALD is also present in the album Black for death: an icelandic odyssey : part ii (2006)
Solefald è un gruppo musicale norvegese di avant-garde metal formatosi ad Oslo nell'agosto 1995 da Lars Are "Lazare" Nedland e Cornelius Jakhelln. Nedland si occupava di voce, tastiere, sintetizzatore e pianoforte, mentre Jakhelln suonava chitarra e basso. La band ha pubblicato sette album in studio, mescolando elementi di black metal, folk metal, progressive rock e musica classica. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da atmosfere cupe e malinconiche, melodie intricate e testi spesso ispirati alla mitologia norrena e al folklore scandinavo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Nordlys", "Sorgens Sang" e "The Serpent's Tongue". L'album di debutto "Blacker Than Black" (1997) ha segnato l'inizio della loro carriera, mentre "In Sorte Diaboli" (2003) è considerato uno dei loro lavori più influenti. Solefald si è sciolta nel 2014, ma la musica del gruppo continua ad essere apprezzata da un pubblico di appassionati di metal sperimentale.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
