Beowulf and Grendel - Eleni Violaris

Seasons come and go

Grendel's claw strikes cold

No sword can break his skin

Trollish born from sin

Raised to harm and kill

Geat flesh is his fill

As Hrothgar loses the fight

Beowulf hears his plight

Whilst the monster peers in

Heorot Hall waits to meet it's fate

Silently Beowulf waits

Seasons come and go

Grendel's claw strikes cold

Beowulf's hand takes good hold

Never letting go

Grendel pulls and wails

Desperate to be free

Then armless he turns and flees

Beowulf's victory

Grendel runs hard in flight

Finds his lair in the endless night

Then he lays down and dies

A hero a hero a hero of the people

Sigero guerferod hildewulf mann gecydnes

A hero a hero a hero of the people

Sigero guerferod hildewulf mann gecydnes

Grendel's mother in rage

Takes revenge for her dragon son

Beowulf takes up his sword

That's forged by the Gods

Striking twice finds his destiny

Hero and king he dies
