1) heorot's plea and grendel's awakening.      Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk,   Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks   They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight   The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as grendel stalks the night      Earth rim walker seeks his meals   Prepare the funeral pyres   The shaper's song no longer heal the fear   Within their eyes, [their eyes]      Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea   Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviour born of dreams   They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shame   They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in grendel's name      Earth rim walker seeks his meals   Prepare the funeral pyres   The shaper's song no longer heal the fear   Within their eyes, (their eyes)      As grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere   Along the forest path he roams to hrothgar's hall so clear   He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify   His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky      As grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere   Along the forest path he roams to hrothgar's hall so clear   He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify   His claws will drip with mortal blood, as moonbeams haunt the sky      Earth rim walker seeks his meals   Prepare the funeral pyres   The shaper's song no longer heal the fear   Within their eyes, (their eyes)      2) grendel's journey.      Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew   Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through   Mother nature's bastard child shunned by leaf and stream   As alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams   The shaper's lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp   Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart      3) lurker at the threshold.      Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell   Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell   Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife   Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries      Screams are his music, lightning his guide   Raping the darkness, d-d-death by his side      Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams   Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene   Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe   Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know      Heroes delusion, with feet in the grave   Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave      4) finale.      So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out?    You should have known better after all this time   You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander   With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes   Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame   God's on my side, sure as hell, I'm gonna take no blame   I'm gonna take no blame, I'm gonna take no blame      So you say you believe in all of mother nature's laws   You lust for gold with your sharpened knives   Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot   You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of our pagan gods      Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand   You call for justice and distort the truth   Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches   Receive your punishment, expose your throats to my righteous claws   And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow.
