[Verse 1] He came in ash and rain With a grin too wide to trust Eyes like split green glass Hands never staying still He wore my brother’s face Then vanished in the smoke Left a laugh on the wind And a blade in the snow [Pre-Chorus] Say his name And check your door He’s half a friend And half a war [Chorus] Loki, Loki Silver tongue, sharp teeth Loki, Loki Never where you see He trades his skin For a better lie Loki, Loki Laughing in the fire [Verse 2] He made a king look small With one soft, whispered turn Stole the seed from stone And watched the old world burn He can wear your hope Like a borrowed ring Then pull the thread Till the whole room sings [Pre-Chorus] Say his name And guard your breath He leaves a kiss That feels like theft [Chorus] Loki, Loki Silver tongue, sharp teeth Loki, Loki Never where you see He trades his skin For a better lie Loki, Loki Laughing in the fire [Bridge] But every trick has blood Every charm has cost Even the bright, bright fox Can be hunted and lost When the ice goes still And the halls go cold The cunning hand Must answer old [Final Chorus] Loki, Loki Silver tongue, sharp teeth Loki, Loki Never where you see He trades his skin For a better lie Loki, Loki Laughing in the fire
