Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In shadows deep, I spin my thread,
Of wily thoughts, of fates misled.
A trickster’s smile, a serpent’s hiss,
The golden child won’t see this twist.

The gods all laugh, their hands are clean,
But I, the mischief, lurk unseen.
I see the flaw, the perfect key,
In mistletoe, his doom will be.

[Chorus]
Oh Baldur, bright Baldur, the fairest of the dawn,
The light that blinds will soon be gone.
I whisper to the night, your fall I weave,
The twilight comes, and I won’t grieve.
A jest, a jest, to end the game,
They’ll curse my wit, but speak my name.

[Verse 2]
You stand so tall, so loved, so bright,
Yet darkness waits behind your light.
A brother’s trust, a mother's tear,
But none will sense the coming fear.

Your dreams of death were not in vain,
No god escapes the woven chain.
Fate turns her wheel, the threads grow tight,
And soon, my friend, you’ll lose the fight.

[Chorus]
Oh Baldur, bright Baldur, the fairest of the dawn,
The light that blinds will soon be gone.
I whisper to the night, your fall I weave,
The twilight comes, and I won’t grieve.
A jest, a jest, to end the game,
They’ll curse my wit, but speak my name.

[Bridge]
A throw, a jest, the smallest thing,
Will steal the throne from Asgard’s king.
Let them cry, let them mourn,
For from this chaos, change is born.

[Chorus]
Oh Baldur, bright Baldur, the fairest of the dawn,
The light that blinds will soon be gone.
I whisper to the night, your fall I weave,
The twilight comes, and I won’t grieve.
A jest, a jest, to end the game,
They’ll curse my wit, but speak my name.

[Outro]
The world will turn, the gods will weep,
But I’ll laugh loud, as you fall deep.
The trick is played, the end is nigh,
For even light must someday die.

[End]
