Passing by Jason Craig Lyrics
[Beowulf]
I'm passing, and then I passed,
Smooth clover underfoot.
I can smell the clotting blood on my neck.
It is scabbing and covering and
Holding in the infectious dragon spit.
I'm passing...
[Academics and Hrothgar]
Dragon kissed his neck with a venomous strike.
[Beowulf]
A slick glob of ooze mixed with blood.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
His fateful reaper planted one firm
Name-checking scaly fly.
[Beowulf]
I'm passing, and then I passed,
Smooth clover underfoot.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
The poison like heroin
Racing through...
[Beowulf]
That demon will stay there inside of me.
We are enemy and companion now,
As I pass over
And I melt and sway.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
That beowulf fell...
[Hrothgar]
...to the ground.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
The two fighters finally at rest,
Like brothers slipping off to sleep.
Side by side,
Side by side.
[Beowulf]
The men placed sticks and dried moss on my breast
And covered that pile with light clay,
Holding in my flesh body,
And my mind body evaporated through
And now floats atop the mountain like a wisp,
And I whisper down the sailing ships passing,
Entertaining me with their colors,
Nodding their sails at me.
Now my line lives on from their lips.
Thank you men for this.
And thank you men for remembering,
And for allowing me this view from above.
I'm passing...
I'm passing...
I'm passing...
then I passed.
I'm passing, and then I passed,
Smooth clover underfoot.
I can smell the clotting blood on my neck.
It is scabbing and covering and
Holding in the infectious dragon spit.
I'm passing...
[Academics and Hrothgar]
Dragon kissed his neck with a venomous strike.
[Beowulf]
A slick glob of ooze mixed with blood.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
His fateful reaper planted one firm
Name-checking scaly fly.
[Beowulf]
I'm passing, and then I passed,
Smooth clover underfoot.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
The poison like heroin
Racing through...
[Beowulf]
That demon will stay there inside of me.
We are enemy and companion now,
As I pass over
And I melt and sway.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
That beowulf fell...
[Hrothgar]
...to the ground.
[Academics and Hrothgar]
The two fighters finally at rest,
Like brothers slipping off to sleep.
Side by side,
Side by side.
[Beowulf]
The men placed sticks and dried moss on my breast
And covered that pile with light clay,
Holding in my flesh body,
And my mind body evaporated through
And now floats atop the mountain like a wisp,
And I whisper down the sailing ships passing,
Entertaining me with their colors,
Nodding their sails at me.
Now my line lives on from their lips.
Thank you men for this.
And thank you men for remembering,
And for allowing me this view from above.
I'm passing...
I'm passing...
I'm passing...
then I passed.
