《Grendel (Live At The Reading Festival 27/8/83)》歌词

[00:17:45] I heorots plea and grendels awakening

[00:17:45] Midnight suns bid moors farewell retreats from charging dusk

[00:17:45] Mountain echo curfews bell signal ending tasks

[00:17:45] They place their faith in oaken doors cower in candlelight

[00:17:45] The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as grendel stalks the night

[00:17:45] Earth rim walker seeks his meals

[00:17:45] Prepare the funeral pyres

[00:17:45] The shapers songs no longer heal the fear

[00:17:45] Wooden figures pagan gods stare blindly cross the sea

[00:17:45] Appeal for help from ocean fogs for saviour born of dreams

[00:17:45] They know their lives are forfeit now priestly head they bow in shame

[00:17:45] They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in grendels name

[00:17:45] Earth rim walker seeks his meals

[00:17:45] Prepare the funeral pyres

[00:17:45] The shapers songs no longer heal the fear

[00:17:45] As grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere

[00:17:45] Along the forest path he roams to hrothgars hall so clear

[00:17:45] He knows that victory is secured his charm will testify

[00:17:45] His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky

[00:17:45] As grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere

[00:17:45] Along the forest path he roams to hrothgars hall so clear

[00:17:45] He knows that victory is secured his charm will testify

[00:17:45] His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky

[00:17:45] Earth rim walker seeks his meals

[00:17:45] Prepare the funeral pyres

[00:17:45] The shapers songs no longer heal the fear

[00:17:45] Ii grendels journey

[00:17:45] Silken membranes span his path fingerprints in dew

[00:17:45] Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through

[00:17:45] Mother natures bastard child shunned by leaf and stream

[00:17:45] An alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams

[00:17:45] The shapers lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp

[00:17:45] Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart

[00:17:45] Iii lurker at the threshold

[00:17:45] Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell

[00:17:45] Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell

[00:17:45] Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butchers knife

[00:17:45] Stellular heavens ignore even childrens cries

[00:17:45] Screams are his music lightning his guide

[00:17:45] Raping the darkness d d death by his side

[00:17:45] Chants rise in terror free round the oaken beams

[00:17:45] Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene

[00:17:45] Warriors advance prepare for the nightmare foe

[00:17:45] Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know

[00:17:45] Heroes delusion with feet in the grave

[00:17:45] Lurker at the threshold he cares not for the brave he cares not for the brave

[00:17:45] Iv finale

[00:17:45] So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out

[00:17:45] You should have known better after all this time

[00:17:45] You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander

[00:17:45] With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes

[00:17:45] Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame

[00:17:45] Gods on my side sure as hell

[00:17:45] I'm gonna take no blame

[00:17:45] I'm gonna take no blame

[00:17:45] I'm gonna take no blame

[00:17:45] So you say you believe in all of mother natures laws

[00:17:45] You lust for gold with your sharpened knives

[00:17:45] Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot

[00:17:45] You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods

[00:17:45] Then you try to place the killers blade in my hand

[00:17:45] You call for justice and distort the truth

[00:17:45] Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches

[00:17:45] Receive your punishment

[00:17:45] Expose your throats to my righteous claws

[00:17:45] Flow flow flow
