Theudho - The Architect lyrics

[Although Christians tried to destroy every aspect of our heathen heritage The theme of the Germanic myth of Loki and the master builder persisted as A common motif in Germanic folk tales. The giant is most often supplanted by The Christian devil, while Loki is replaced by a folk hero or a clever peasant or priest...] "An architect and his horse Came to Asgard And offered to erect a wall To protect the mighty gods From the wretched giants In exchange for this service He demanded a curious payment; Th goddess Freyja, moon and sun Were to be delivered unto him Panic grew among the gods As the mighty wall arose Soon the word will be done And the awful debt must be paid How can the gods Part from moon and sun? And deliver Freyja To Jötunn hands? In disguise Loki lured the horse away To prevent Completion of the wall "The architect retightened to Asgard Only to find the Thunderer Who answered his rage By crushing his skull."
