كلماتThe Binding of Fenrir
All the folks had gathered to see what was in store
another test of my strength- a new chain had been forged
But something in it’s shimmer made me sense a trap
A strange sort of shiver crept up my back
It was roots of stones, and step of a cat,
breath of fish- strange things like that
I said I won’t fight that- there’s something tricky here
I won’t fight that- let me be very clear
I won’t fight that- won’t step into this one alone
I’m needing one brave act- that’s what I’m asking here
just one brave act- I need a volunteer
to be a sort of guarantee, place your hand here please oh oh oh oh ohhhh
The only one to offer was my trusted friend
From him the only nourishment that I’d been given
but his step was heavy and his touch was light
his eye unsteady and he reeked of fright
The deal was done - the fetter placed
and as I feared this chain won’t break
But no- I won’t bite back- resist a little longer
won’t bite that- but still I wonder
what sort of wolf should I be to one that betrayed me
oh oh oh oh ohhhhhh
They locked me up in a desolate place
his hand in my stomach - their sword in my face
and as I howled and cursed them, a river formed from my spit
It was Expectation, and I would deliver it
They prophesied that I would bring death and calamity,
but they were doomed by what they couldn’t see by their own deeds -
through their mistreatment of me
so a word of advice:
if you want to keep your monsters at bay
don’t school them with cruelty that they’ll feel compelled to repay
Someday a great poet will say “Everything that lives is holy”
and what was done to and through me nothing but a story
Yes, everything that lives is holy, and what was done to me - nothing but a story
I said I won’t bite down
I said I won’t bite down
I said I won’t
but here we are
My mother was a giant and my father a trickster
but I wasn’t raised by them - not that nature
Wish you wouldn’t paint me with the same old brush
I didn’t even care for my siblings much
My brother was a snake, my sister a Helcat
but blood is thicker than water - you proved that
My brother was a snake, my sister a Helcat -
but blood is thicker than water - you proved that
I said I won’t bite, I said I won’t bite, I said I won’t bite, I won’t bite.......

Fenrir was a giant wolf from Norse mythology that helped to bring about massive destruction by killing the great God Odin and swallowing the sun. (look up Ragnarök) But I wonder if maybe, like many of the monsters around us, Fenrir wasn't born evil but became that way because of how he was treated. I'm not foolish enough to believe that there is no such thing as evil-but mayyyybe we should be a little bit more more careful with our judgments- and each other. After all there is a bit of big bad wolf in all of us.
This song is part of a longer story that is woven through my latest album, 'Hunger Made You Brave'.
This video is shot from Fenrir's point of view in the lovely Cafe de las Horas in Valencia, Spain.
