Herot Hall, that cursed music and happiness 
 Shall forever by his fiendish oath be dissolved 

 Who's domain is deep in the haunted moors 
 At the base of a murky serpent filled lagoon 
 Who's devoted to always break God's law 
 Feasting Hrothgar's helpless dormant subjects 

 As daylight fades, arising from obscure slumber 
 Trampling out of the misty hills and marshes 

 Conceived of She-wolf, spawned in foul slime 
 His eyes glow angrily bright through darkness 
 Tyranny of this hall is now totally achieved 

 Bloodlust drives his only motive, evil wrath 
 Glorification and nourishment lie in his slaughters 

 No blade can harm this unholy flesh 
 Enlongened claws with such razor precision 
 Jaws of strength with no mortal contention 
 Soul and mind always in a constant rage 

 Sworn to a creed of eternal sin and greed 
 The shepard of evil and the guardian of crime 

 As dark as the air, as black as the rain 
 That the Heaven's weep 
 Grendel !
