The Mechanisms
Loki (Live)
[Verse 1: Loki]
Somewhere deep inside me fester memories and dreams
I try to pin them down but I can't hear beyond the screams
All I recall with clarity is sunshine and is merry song
What are these thoughts so vague and dark beyond?
Deep inside my mind
What is there to find?
[Verse 2: Loki]
Who is she that I see? Could it be? Is it me? Or just a dream?
Crying out, but without any way she can shout her silent scream
Is this rage at her cage or wars she cannot wage chained in my soul
Can I find from my mind that which I left behind making me whole
[Chorus: Loki]
Flashes like camera bulbs fire in my brain
Is this truly me, am I going insane?
In faint bloody flashes I watch people die
And if that was me, then who am I?
[Verse 3: Loki]
Locked away from the fray lest they say what I may truly deserve
Through my tears I can hear echoes of creeping fear whispering words
In my soul, taking hold, trying to make me whole, bringing me back
What I saw, came before, leads to a gaping maw, twisting the track
[Chorus: Loki]
Flashes like camera bulbs fire in my brain
Is this truly me, am I going insane?
In faint bloody flashes I watch people die
And if that was me, then who am I?
[Bridge: Loki]
Oohhh, you can’t erase me
Oohhh, you can't unmake me
Oohhh, you can't erase me
Oohhh, you can’t unmake me
[Chorus: Loki]
Flashes like camera bulbs fire in my brain
Is this truly me, am I going insane?
In faint bloody flashes I watch people die
And if that was me, then who am I?
[Verse 4: Thor]
This cannot be, but here I see a face I know so well
Loki should be dead, but here she sits, a broken shell
Baldur died and for that crime we watched her burn in bloody pain
Did Odin think to save her for her train?
If we were betrayed
There's a price to pay
[Chorus: Thor]
Fury like thunderbolts burns in my veins
If that's truly her then I know who's to blame
Odin passed judgement; we all watched her die
But if that is Loki she'll pay for her lies
[Chorus: Loki & Thor]
Flashes like camera bulbs fire in my brain
(Fury like thunderbolts burns in my veins)
Is this truly me, am I going insane?
(If that's truly her then I know who's to blame)
In faint bloody flashes I watch people die
(Odin passed judgement; we all watched her die)
And if that was me, then who the fuck am I?
(But if that is Loki you'll pay for all your lies)
