Beowulf by Tartarum Lyrics

There once ruled a Danish king
Descent from a greater sire
Successful across his reign
He feasts as loud as thunder

Arise

The noise - awakes - inflames
An ancient monstrous demon
Descended - from Cain
The monster’s titled Grendel

The years of fear and death are over
An end to suffering is closer
The wrath of Cain is burning under
The creature’s head will rest asunder

Rise

No spear, no sword
He fights the beast unguarded
One strike, one hit
He leaves the demon armless
Beholden! Delighted
The hero’s undefeated
Rewarded - with treasure
His victory’s a pleasure

The years of fear and death are over
The kingdom’s nightmares end is closer
The wrath of Cain no long burns under
The creature’s arm now rests asunder

No
The creature’s mother came to seek revenge
Another challenge for Beowulf

He grabs his sword, a weapon forged for giants
Filled up with rage, no fear can kill his anger
The witch attacks, misreads the warrior’s actions
He swings his sword, and kills the fuming swamp-hag


His fame spreads wide, across the foreign lands
Soon he’ll ascend to the throne of the Geats
And then one day, a dragon will emerge
He spreads destruction, and Beowulf will DIE
