Fish - Grendel Lyrics
1) heorots plea and grendels awakening.Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk,Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasksThey place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelightThe panic seeps through bloodstained floors as grendel stalks the nightEarth rim walker seeks his mealsPrepare the funeral pyresThe shapers song no longer heal the fearWithin their eyes, [their eyes]Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the seaAppeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviour born of dreamsThey know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shameThey cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in grendels nameEarth rim walker seeks his mealsPrepare the funeral pyresThe shapers song no longer heal the fearWithin their eyes, (their eyes)As grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mereAlong the forest path he roams to hrothgars hall so clearHe knows that victory is secured, his charm will testifyHis claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the skyAs grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mereAlong the forest path he roams to hrothgars hall so clearHe knows that victory is secured, his charm will testifyHis claws will drip with mortal blood, as moonbeams haunt the skyEarth rim walker seeks his mealsPrepare the funeral pyresThe shapers song no longer heal the fearWithin their eyes, (their eyes)2) grendels journey.Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dewDenizens of twilight lands humbly beg him throughMother natures bastard child shunned by leaf and streamAs alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreamsThe shapers lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harpBeguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart3) lurker at the threshold.Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spellSulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dellHeorot awaits him like lamb to the butchers knifeStellular heavens ignore even childrens criesScreams are his music, lightning his guideRaping the darkness, d-d-death by his sideChants rise in terror, free round the oaken beamsFlickering firelight portraying the grisly sceneWarriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foeFutile their sacrifice as even their hearts must knowHeroes delusion, with feet in the graveLurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave4) finale.So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out?You should have known better after all this timeYoure gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slanderWith your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyesWhy should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shameGods on my side, sure as hell, Im gonna take no blameIm gonna take no blame, Im gonna take no blameSo you say you believe in all of mother natures lawsYou lust for gold with your sharpened knivesOh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rotYou pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of our pagan godsThen you try to place the killers blade in my handYou call for justice and distort the truthWell Ive had enough of all your pretty pretty speechesReceive your punishment, expose your throats to my righteous clawsAnd let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow.
