I'm frozen with shock and my body's numb My world is turning inside out My heart is beating like a drum I want to scream, I want to shout
Everything I know is tumbling down My knees are crashing to the floor I feel like I'm about to drown I don't know who I am anymore
My mother, my king, my glorious brother The family I had are gone I'm not their son, I am the Other A monster, a prize, a political pawn
I thought I belonged; I was a fool I get it now, it's loud and clear I'm just a trophy and a tool I'm one of those I hate and fear
Asgardian - that was what I believed I'm still the Trickster, God of Lies Ironic, really, when I'm the deceived I belong with the race I despise
They're not my family, they're not my kin I was always the pale and the weak Now, after learning what's under my skin I know what everyone knows - I'm a freak
My brother was always the favourite son He was the one who was destined to rule I was always the mischievous one The trickster, the traitor, the evil, the cruel
I never admitted that these were my fears; The dark thoughts inside me - but I was naive Perhaps I was fighting myself all these years? Perchance it's my nature to trick and deceive?
I lied because it's what they expected But having been told the truth by my king I now know what I only suspected; That truth is in deed a terrible thing
They know what I am, they've always known Well, really, they haven't seen anything yet Now knowing the reason I won't get the throne I'll show them some mischief they'll never forget
I'm no longer feeling the need to Belong It's time for my darkness to come out and play They think they can never be in the wrong When, really, it's they who have made me this way
They've lied to me, failed me, tricked me and played me And now when they think that I have cracked I will betray all of those who betrayed me I'm done with words, now it's time to act
There're thousands of them but revenge will be mine I haven't a chance - but I declare war Because I'm their enemy - foe by design I'm not the same Loki they knew anymore
