| Marillion B'sides Themselves Grendel ---- "Grendel" Track 1 _B'sides Themselves_ ---- Midnight sun bids moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk Mountains echo curfew's 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 songs no longer heal the fear within their eyes, Their eyes, their eyes, their eyes, their eyes Wooden figures, pagan gods stare blindly cross the sea Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviors born of dreams They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly heads 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 songs no longer heal the fear within their eyes, Their eyes, their eyes, their eyes, their eyes As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant air Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so fair 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 air Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's house so fair 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 songs no longer heal the fear within their eyes, Within their eyes, within their eyes, within their eyes 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 An alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams The shaper's lies, his poison tongue maligned with mocking harp Beguiling queen, her innocence offends his icy heart Hounds freeze in silence, bewitched by the reptile's spell Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell Hero 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- d- death by his side Chants rise in terror, pray round the oaken beam Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe Futile the sacrifices even the hearts must know Heroes' delusions with feet in the grave Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave 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 viscious 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 going to take no blame So you say you believe in all of Mother Nature's laws You lust for gold with your sharpened knives Ooh, when your hordes are gathered and your enemies left to rot You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods And you try to place the killer's blade in my hands You call for justice, distort the truth Well I've had enough of all your pretty, pretty speeches Recieve your punishment expose your throats to my righteous claws and let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, let the blood flow, flow, flow, let the blood flow, let the blood, let the blood, let the blood, let the blood, let the blood, let the blood, let the blood, let the blood, blood flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow [FISH 1982 -- Produced David Hitchcock (12 EMI 5351 B) Drums: Mick Pointer] |
