Otters Ransom Live

[spoken word narration] “Hear me now, for I speak of ancient things. Of a day when gods walked as men. And a moment, one careless moment, That changed everything” [Pause] [Verse 1] Three gods walked the world where cold rivers run, Loki's eye caught an otter asleep in the sun, A stone left his hand — and it sang through the air, And the water ran red where the creature lay dead. The skin that they'd taken was Oh-ter’s, flesh and bone, Son of HRAYTH-mar the dwarf king, who raged on his throne, You have stolen my blood and you'll pay what is owed, Fill his pelt full of gold, or these halls will be your doom. [Chorus] You took what was mine and you'll carry that weight, No god walks away from the debt that you've made, Fill the skin of my son with your silver and gold, Or the price of his blood will be yours, forever owed. [Verse 2] Beneath the falls where AND-vah-ree hides from the light, Loki reached through the water and dragged him in to sight, Every coin, every ingot stripped bare from the stone, The dwarf left with nothing to call his own. He begged for the ring. just the ring nothing more, Loki's eyes never wavered, he had taken before, That gold carries death, the ring carries shame, And all who possess it will burn in my name. [Chorus] You took what was mine and you'll carry that weight, No god walks away from the debt that you've made, Fill your hands with my hoard of silver and gold, But the price of that ring will be yours, forever owned. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] You took what was ours and you'll carry that weight, No god walks away from the debt that you've made, The blood and the gold and the ring you sown, Every debt that you've made will be yours, forever owed
