Ratatosk

From branch to branch, from top to root This little creature makes a loop Now he’s here, watch him there This tiny drill-tooth is everywhere Wrapping the story around his tail Twisting the truth, hiding his secrets behind a veil of innocence How can you tell foe from friend? What is in your murky mind? Ratatosk! Under the dark, hidden dust, and over the misty tops He’s searching high and low for secrets untold Messenger or puppeteer? All the whispers in his ear Bending the truth in a forest of lies Deceiver in disguise The dragon lingers in the deep Biting the roots of Yggdrasil Have you heard the news today? Odin’s beard is turning grey The eagle above is soaring free From his wings – the air we breathe between the two the anger grew But what is the harm in a lie or two? What is in your murky mind Under the dark, hidden dust, and over the misty tops He’s searching high and low for secrets untold Messenger or puppeteer? All the whispers in his ear Bending the truth in a forest of lies Deceiver in disguise Up and down the tree our little champion travels Speaking dragon and eagle, dark words to unravel With simple taunts as his only passenger He’s the world’s fastest messenger (Under the dark) Under the dark, hidden dust, and over the misty tops He’s searching high and low for secrets untold Messenger or puppeteer? All the whispers in his ear Bending the truth in a forest of lies Deceiver in disguise
