Kathy Mar - Grendel Lyrics
Reference: 'Beowulf'Dumb as dirt and twice as mean, such a son makes Mother crazyFoul as sewers I have seen, ugly, loutish, large and lazyThat's the child I've had to raise, what's a mom to do?Drag him in an ocean cave and stay to watch him, tooChorus: Son of mine you've been a disappointment since your birth Now I've had to bury you in this cold Northern earth I know you would be sorry if you weren't so very dead But you never listened to a word I saidEverybody has to rest, even I got sleepySonny left our little nest on errands cruel and creepyCame back with a haunch of man gnawed down to the boneLeft each night from that day on as I slept like a stone ChorusVikings gathered in their hall, heroes all in war delightingWhen my Grendel came to call, he was met with mighty fightingOne among them took his arm, ripped it off for goodChased him to our ocean home and killed him where he stood InstrumentalWhen I found my wine was spiked, it was far too late to aid himThough there wasn't much I liked I was often glad I made himSo I must avenge him now, what's a mom to do?If he was yours anyhow, I'll bet that you would too Chorus
