EXILED SON

MAAT - EXILED SON

Intro

Huginn, Muninn... fly...

Tell Father I won't return...

Hook

I am Odin's son, but an exile from Valhalla,

Father gave an eye for wisdom, I gave my soul for nothing.

I am Odin's son, my veins are frost and ash,

The gates of Asgard are closed, and I can no longer howl.

Verse 1

The Viking horn won't sound for me, I have no honor,

Instead of Valhalla I have an empty forest and a cold burial.

Ravens bring no news, ravens bring silence,

Every step I take is a sin that creaks and gasps in the snow.

They gave me a god's name, but a dog's soul,

I wander Midgard, drunk, without a throne, without a bottom.

Runes on my hands bleed, but they are silent, they don't speak,

Because even fate has forgotten the son.

Hook

I am Odin's son, but an exile from Valhalla,

Father gave an eye for wisdom, I gave my soul for nothing.

I am Odin's son, my veins are frost and ash,

The gates of Asgard are closed, and I can no longer howl.

Verse 2

I don't want nectar, I don't want gold, I want fire,

Let the Yggdrasil tree burn, let history fall.

I'm not Thor, I have no hammer, I have fists of stone,

And every mirror shatters when it looks at my name.

MAAT - it's not a nickname, it's a curse carved in bone,

Son of a god, praying to the void for mercy.

Where are you, Odin? Where does your eye look?

Your son sleeps in a ditch, and wolves lick his wounds.

Bridge - whisper + scream

I hear... a calling... (come back...)

I won't return... never...

Let Valhalla burn!

Outro - Hook quietly

I am Odin's son... but an exile...

I gave my soul... for nothing...
