The song describes Loki in more detail. It describes his origins, his cunning and deceitful nature, and his habit of shape-shifting.
[Verse 1]
I was born of giant's blood
Raised in Asgaard, the home of gods
I am the master of disguise
For this trait I've gained your prize
Faster in thought, quicker tongue
Brawl with me and you'll get stung
I am the master of deceit
My words bind or set you free
[Chorus]
I am the walker on the wind
The shape shifter
Two-faced words
And a lying grin
The shape shifter
[Verse 2]
You call me evil; curse my name
But you only have yourselves to blame
Order need its anarchy
Balance through calamity
We mixed our blood in olden days
Now I wander like a stray
We were brothers, now estranged
I will have my sweet revenge
[Bridge]
My words are poison to your ears
I say the words you fear
Still you know it is the truth you hear
Ragnarök is drawing near
[Verse 3]
There you sit in Aegir's hall
Waiting for the coming fall
Council of the now condemned
Twilight of both gods and men
Face the facts; you're old and weak
Empty words are all you speak
No escape, there's no return
The universe shall bleed and burn
[Chorus]
I am the eagle in the sky
The shape shifter
Vicious wolf
Howling in the night
The shape shifter
I am the walker on the wind
The shape shifter
Two-faced words
And a lying grin
The shape shifter
I am the eagle in the sky
The vicious wolf
Howling in the night
I am the walker on the wind
Lying words
With an honest grin
The shape shifter
