1
Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk
2
Mountains echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks
3
They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight
4
The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night
5
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
6
Prepare the funeral pyres
7
The shapers songs no longer heal the fear
8
Within their eyes, their eyes
9
Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea
10
Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviors born of dreams
11
They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly heads they bow in shame
12
They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendel's name
13
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
14
Prepare the funeral pyres
15
The shapers songs no longer heal the fear
16
Within their eyes, their eyes
17
Their eyes, their eyes, their eyes
18
As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
19
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
20
He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
21
His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky
22
As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
23
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
24
He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
25
His claws will drip with mortal blood, as moonbeams haunt the sky
26
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
27
Prepare the funeral pyres
28
The shapers songs no longer heal the fear
29
Within their hearts, within their hearts
30
Within their hearts, within their eyes
31
Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew
32
Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through
33
Mother nature's bastard child, shunned by leaf and stream
34
An alien in an alien land, seeks solace within dreams
35
The shapers lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp
36
Beguiling queen, her innocence offends his icy heart
37
Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell
38
Sulfurous essence pervades 'round the grassy dell
39
Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife
40
Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries
41
Screams are his music, lightning his guide
42
Raping the darkness, death by his side
43
Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams
44
Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene
45
Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe
46
Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know
47
Heroes delusions with feet in the grave
48
Lurker at the threshold
49
He cares not for the brave
50
He cares not for the brave
51
So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out
52
You should have known better after all this time
53
You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander
54
With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes
55
Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame?
56
God's on my side, sure as hell, I'm gonna take no blame
57
I'm gonna take no blame, I'm goin' to take no blame
58
So you say you believe in all of mother nature's laws
59
You lust for gold with your sharpened knives
60
Ooh, when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot
61
You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods
62
Then you try to place the killers blade in my hand
63
You call for justice and distort the truth
64
Well, I've had enough of all your pretty, pretty speeches
65
Receive your punishment, expose your throats to my righteous claws
66
And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, and let the blood flow
67
And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow
68
Let the blood flow, let the blood flow
69
Let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, flow
70
Let the blood flow, let the blood flow
71
Let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, flow
72
Let the blood, let the blood, let the blood
73
Let the blood, let the blood, let the blood
74
Let the blood, let the blood, let the blood
75
Flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow
