Daughter of Shadows

[Verse]
Born of the frost
Where the winds bite cold
A daughter’s tale
Never told
Her mother wept
Her father laughed
A shadow child
From the outcast’s craft
They named her monster
They called her sin
But she only wanted to let light in
[Prechorus]
Oh
The echoes they never heard
Her voice swallowed by the word
[Chorus]
Misunderstood
The daughter of tricks
She wasn’t her father
No games
No flicks
Her heart was soft
Her soul was bright
But they snuffed her flame in the dead of night
Too late
Too late
Loki cried
And the world burned where his daughter died
[Verse 2]
She walked the woods
The birch and pine
Searching for a place to call hers
Not mine
The stars would whisper
The rivers hum
But she carried the weight of where she’s from
A god’s child
They saw the mask
Never the girl beneath the past
[Prechorus]
Oh
The chains they forged with fear
A heart ignored
A soul unclear
[Chorus]
Misunderstood
The daughter of tricks
She wasn’t her father
No games
No flicks
Her heart was soft
Her soul was bright
But they snuffed her flame in the dead of night
Too late
Too late
Loki cried
And the world burned where his daughter died
