The Power Ballad of Freyr Lyrics

I curse the day I took his place on the throne
I saw the whole world with a heart made of stone
Then I was struck by an illustrious sight
The most beautiful woman I've ever seen
As she opened the door, light shone from her arms
Illuminating both the sky and sea
What a price my pride would pay
I never knew that my heart was such easy prey

I can't sleep, so cold in the night
I can't speak, I'm out of my mind
I can't eat, I just want to die
I can't wait, Nei, I must have my love from Jotunheim

Possessed, depressed, I was held hostage by lust
My servant struck while the iron was hot
Compelled to yield my self-wielding sword
To gain the hand of that glorious giantess
Through bloodshed and fear he forced her consent
But nine nights away, how can I sustain?
Oh, what a price my heart would pay
When I meet with the flames at the end of days

I can't sleep, so cold in the night
I can't speak, I'm out of my mind
I can't eat, I just want to die
I can't wait, Nei, I must have my love from Jotunheim
