ᛋᚲᚢᚷᚷᛁ ᛚᛟᚲᛁ (Skuggi Loki) [SSC7, France]

Start with layered throat singing and droning vocal overtones for the intro, transition to the buildup for low-pitched frame drum rhythms with dry transient impact and distant reverb tails for Nordic ritual folk, then bass drop into bowed tagelharpa harmonics mixed with guimbarde pulses and stereo vocal chants for tribal ambient, shift to bone stick clacks with granular delay and whispered polyphonic phrases for the breakdown, fill with throat-driven choir vocalise blended with filtered breath textures and metallic rattles for dark folk ceremonial tension, hit a second drop of dissonant tagelharpa slides under shouted chants in mono chorus width, and finally fade into ritual breathing and isolated vocal drones with high-pass filtering and spatial collapse for the outro, frame drums, dark, shamanic, slow, traditional, scandinavian folk, horror, nickelharpa, melisma, hypnotic, reverb, lyre

~~~~~~~~~~~~~↓ Explanation ↓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This song is a poetic tribute to Loki, the Norse god of chaos, fire, and transformation.
It presents him as a mysterious and misunderstood figure, not just a trickster, but also a bearer of truth and deep wisdom.

Loki walks through the night with fire in his heart and sharp words.
He sees the hidden truths of the world and laughs, not from joy, but from understanding.
Although betrayed by the gods, he still shared their laughter, he is both an outsider and part of the divine.

He brought fire from the giants to the gods, a powerful act of change, but fire burns in both directions, lighting and destroying.
He is unpredictable, always shifting, like a shadow, a ghost, a shapeshifter.
No one knows where Loki will go next.
He is both the cause of pain and a victim of sorrow, with blood on his hands and tears in his eyes.

In the end, the song suggests that only fate guides him, and no one can fully understand him.
Loki is fire, laughter, shadow, and truth, impossible to control, and forever in motion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~↓ Lyrics (Old Norse) ↓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Loki gengr um djúpa nátt,
eldr í hjarta sínu,
tunga hvöss sem kló,
augu, speglar heims ok sálna.
Hlæjandi, eigi af gleði, heldur af visku.

Svikinn af ásum,
en hann hló með þeim.
Hann bar eldinn frá jötnunum til goðanna,
en eldr brennr báða vegu,
ok skuggar vaxa undir ljósinu.

Loki er sem eldr,
hann brennr, flýgr, hlær,
hans augu sjá hvat aðrir fela,
hann skiptir sem skuggi, sem vofa,
hver veit hvar Loki reikar?

Blóð bræðra hans flekkar hendur hans,
en í augum hans skína tár barna.
Hann flýgr sem fluga yfir goða veizlu,
hlær hann eða grætur?

Hann verðr fugl, fiskr, skrímsl,
engi má hann taka,
engi má hann skilja.
Hver talar fyrir hann?

Hver fylgir hans leið?
Aðeins örlögin vefa hans spor.

Loki er sem eldr,
hann brennr, flýgr, hlær,
hans augu sjá hvat aðrir fela,
hann skiptir sem skuggi, sem vofa,
hver veit hvar Loki reikar?

hann brennr, flýgr, hlær,
hans augu sjá hvat aðrir fela,
hann skiptir sem skuggi, sem vofa,
hver veit hvar Loki reikar?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~↓ Translation ↓~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Loki walks through the deep night
Fire in his heart
A tongue sharp as a claw
Eyes, mirrors of the world and souls
He laughs, not from joy, but from wisdom

Betrayed by the Aesir
yet he laughed with them
He carried fire from the giants to the gods
But fire burns both ways
And shadows grow beneath the light

Loki is like fire
He burns, he flies, he laughs
His eyes see what others try to hide
He shifts like a shadow, like a ghost
Who knows where Loki wanders?

The blood of his brothers stains his hands
But in his eyes shine the tears of children
He flies like a fly over the gods’ feast
Is he laughing or is he crying?

He becomes bird, fish, monster
No one can catch him
No one can understand him
Who speaks for him?

Who follows his path?
Only fate weaves his steps

Loki is like fire
He burns, he flies, he laughs
His eyes see what others try to hide
He shifts like a shadow, like a ghost
Who knows where Loki wanders?

He burns, he flies, he laughs
His eyes see what others try to hide
He shifts like a shadow, like a ghost
Who knows where Loki wanders?
