Mountain Goats - Grendel's Mother lyrics

rate me

The 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
