[music: wells  lyrics: based on beowulf]



the midnight sun above the ruins

darkness drapes the land

a peaceful scene in the dark of night

the carnival of souls



far away lands of kings and queens

in peril they now are

a messenger sent to seek the brave

to free the land enslaved...

a violent creature in the mountain dwells

and preys on the child of man

the eaters of the dead they are

a dread from ancient times

fear the dark and the mist it brings

from the hillsides roars are heard

a battle rages to slay the beats

a fight to free the land



on nightfall of the 7th day

battle cries were heard

broken bodies the price they pay

for a battle fought and won



a broken beast lies conquered now

as a land is freed at last

a tyrant's rule now torn apart

as the grendel's body breaks
