Fish - Grendel lyrics

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 ba*tard 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 gra**y 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-d**h 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 k** 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 k**er'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.
