Grendel's MotherThe cave mouth shines.By pure force of will I look down on the world From the top of this lonesome hill. And you can run, and run some more From here all the way to singapore, But I will carry you home in my teeth, In the great hall you drink red wine. You chew meat off the bone. I beat down the new path to the castle. I come naked and alone. I laid my son on the bier; I burned the wreath. Fire overhead, water underneath. You can stand up, or you can run. You and I both know what you've done, And I will carry you home. I will carry you home. I will carry you home in my teeth. |
