The song follows the events of Loke’s Treachery Part I where Hel tells Hermod that Balder will only be released from Hel if the whole world weeps over his death.
Töck, the main figure in this song, refuses to shed her tears for Balder, thus forcing him to stay in Hel. Töck is presumed to be Loke in...
You come to me, eyes full of grief
You ask of me to shed all my tears
To let him return from kingdom of fears
Why should I weep? Or lose any sleep?
He never brought me pleasure or glee
So why would I help to set Balder free
You come to me, eyes full of grief
All of your tears mean nothing to me
So why will you not just leave me to be
Am I to blame? Well, I'm not ashamed!
Oh how I smiled when I heard the tale
Of Loke the sly, so clever and brave
Höder the fool, Lopt's willing tool
He held the twig that cut Balder's skin
Lopt aimed the shot
That killed Höder's twin
Leave me alone
Don't come here and moan
I've never wished to see Balder's well
So let his soul remain down in Hel
My name is Töck and I won't cry
I won't let Balder return
Let Hel keep her treasured prize
Let his soul forever burn
You come to me and cannot believe
That this old crow now talking to you
Is Loke, not Töck, you bloody dawn fools
You come to me and you do not see
All of your tears mean nothing to me
Why will you not just leave me to be
[Solo: Olavi Mikkonen]
My name is Töck, and I won't cry
I won't let Balder return
Let Hel keep her treasured prize
Let his soul forever burn
