Demons haunt my taunted mind
I'm scared

My death's foreseen ungloryful
Please father
Make my demons disappear

Please mother
Death is everywhere

My son, I've seen your fear
I have felt your pain
No harm will come to you
An oath has been sworn

The evil forces around us
Still want to destroy me
Who is the evil slayer
I cannot see

Loki, the deceitful God
Discovers a simple mistletoe

Pointed for HÃ‘â€ der the blind
By the jealous Loki
The mistletoe cuts through the skin
And into the heart of the bright one

Silence spreads throughout the hall of Aesir
As the God of light falls to his knees dying

Sorrow throughout the nine worlds
The bright God is gone

Now, I don't mind admitting that I had to catch up on my Norse mythology for this one, but it was well worth it. Why do bad things happen to good gods, eh? the inevitability of fate ( otherwise developed as free will versus determinism) or the jealous envy towards all things virtuous - themes carried over into Christian mythology, along with other concepts like Hell.

Not only did you show a terrific grasp of the story, but you rendered it quite beautifully in prose.

A giant rasberry to all those on line philistines who sidestepped this one!
