    A physical copy of this investigation on compact disc. Also contains dossiers on the main suspects in the case, and a map of the Bifrost's destinations in the Yggdrasil system.

    All CDs are shipped by two handsome and well dressed band members. There’s no warehouse or company to handle it for us.

    That means we can’t promise a specific shipping time; we’ll do our best to send off a set of orders each week, but if we’re not around you might be waiting a bit longer. Feel free to contact us through bandcamp if it’s been a few weeks, though, and we’ll be happy to help.

    Additionally, we can’t support orders of more than 4 CDs for shipping reasons. If you make an order for more, we will be in touch to refund & cancel your order.

    If you do want to make an order for additional CDs, please go through the checkout for the first set, and then start a new order.

lyrics

Somewhere deep inside me fester memories and dreams
I try to pin them down but I can't hear beyond the screams
All I recall with clarity is sunlight and is merry song
What are these thoughts so vague and deep beyond?
Deep inside my mind
What is there to find?

Who is she that I see? Could it be? Is it me? Or just a dream?
Crying out, but without any way she can shout her silent scream
Is this rage at her cage or wars she cannot wage chained in my soul
Can I find from my mind that which is left behind making me whole

Chorus:

Flashes like camera bulbs fire in my brain
Is this truly me, am I going insane?
In faint bloody flashes I watch people die
And if that was me, then who am I?

Locked away from the fray lest they say what I may truly deserve
Though my tears I can hear echoes of creeping fear whispering words
In my soul, taking hold, trying to make me whole, bringing me back
What I saw, gone before, leads to a gaping maw, twisting the track

<Chorus>

Oohhh, you can't erase me
Oohhh, you can't unmake me
Oohhh, you can't erase me
Oohhh, you can't unmake me

Chorus


Thor

This cannot be, but here I see a face I know so well
Loki should be dead, but here she sits, a broken shell
Baldur died and for that crime we saw her burn in bloody pain
Did Odin choose to save her for this train?
If we were betrayed
There's a price to pay

Thorus:

Fury like thunderbolts burns through my veins
If that's truly her then I know who's to blame
Odin passed judgement; we all watched her die
But if that's Loki you'll pay for all your lies

Thorus/Chorus
