I'm coming... They spoke in whispers, pale with fear "Armored bears were marching here" Eyes of emerald Steel like stone Walking as if not their own Loki laughed beyond the snow Pointing where the north winds blow "Take their children break their pride leave no living soul behind" My wife... my child... Gone I swore beneath the frozen moon I'll split the sky before too soon If fate itself stands in my way Then fate will die today Raise the axe Raise the flame Let the north remember my name No chain can hold No curse can bind The wrath of one who left love behind Hear me now Sky and sea No god will stand above me LOKI! I'm coming... My family... hold on... I'm coming Ice trolls fell beneath my blade Forest spirits turned to shade Every beast the trickster made Learned that fear can bleed Frozen rivers ran with fire Each swing fed my burning ire Still I climbed through endless snow Following their tracks alone At last Beyond the cliffs Beyond the pines I saw the fires I saw the lines My people bound with iron chains Still they whispered Still they prayed Then through the smoke A little hand Holding another She still stands Raise the axe Raise the flame Let the heavens fear my name No bear No beast No lying god Will stop the coming of my wrath LOKI! Hear me scream! Tonight You bleed with me The gate falls The chains break The bears roar I answer louder My daughter... Still alive My wife... Still standing The battle Has only Just begun ────────────────────────────────── 💿 About this track: "Raise the Axe" blends symphonic viking metal with nordic folk instrumentation, weaving deep baritone vocals, massive choir chants, tribal drums, and dubstep-infused breakdowns into a cinematic tale of a Norse warrior's hunt for Loki after losing everything to the trickster god's monsters. ────────────────────────────────── 🎵 Stream & Follow: ▶ YouTube:    / @looselybasedonedm   🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4850o... 🍎 Apple Music:   / loosely-based-on-edm   📦 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/artists/B0GD... 🌊 Tidal: https://tidal.com/artist/72536737 ────────────────────────────────── 🏷️ Keywords: #vikingmetal #folkmetal #epicbattlemusic #norsemythology #loki #trickster
