The Mountain Goats — Grendels Mother

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain 1] But I will carry you home in my teeth [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain 2] And I will carry you home I will carry you home I will carry you home in my teeth
