The Eye of Loki

It's a pirate’s life full of toil and strife

We sea wolves undergo

And we won't turn away when the world turns gray

Rising up from down below

For we're infernal bound from the sacred ground

With a strong ship fast and free

And we won’t turn away from the monstrosity

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

Crashing down the Eye of Loki, me boys

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

We're infernal bound from the sacred ground

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

As it rises up, casting shadows about

With storm, and fear, and death

That gaping maw, that swiping tail

My love, I know I'll fail

But we won’t give up our victory

We’ll face the monstrosity

But now we're bound for infernal ground

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

Crashing down the Eye of Loki, me boys

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

We're infernal bound from the sacred ground Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

And then that tail, comes crashing down

Sinking our, only home

Our pillage gone, out mainmast split

And we ain't got long to go

It’s crashing roar is carried away

What care we for that sound

A living hell is after us

Hang on, we're infernal bound

Crashing down the Eye of Loki, me boys

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

We're infernal bound from the sacred ground

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

How soft the gaze of Hel herself

Now my love I’m close nearby

That choking breath, that mountainous shell

Me boys, I say farwell

And as it slams we slowly fall

Staring death right in the teeth

Our shredded sails swallowed down it’s throat

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

Crashing down the Eye of Loki, me boys

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

We're infernal bound from the sacred ground

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

Crashing down the Eye of Loki, me boys

Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki

We're infernal bound from the sacred ground Born from the Eye of Ol' Loki...

An old sea shanty sung amongst pirates and sailors. It tells the tale of a widowed man singing about a journey to his deceased wife. He sings about the treatorous journey he and his crew made to the center of the world, or the Eye of Loki. The writer is said to be one of the very few who have journeyed so close and lived, yet his identity remains unknown.
