Grendel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the realisation unfolds, shedding the apathy
Cold hearts speak, attempts to reach our sanity
It's always deeds before words or you'll fail constantly
I will never doubt my fate
Ignite a chaos which shall lead
With drops of blood, sweat and tears
Fight
With force and the will in the night
Construct and to build for the strife
Your fortress - the tact in your mind
With force and the will in the night
Construct and to build for the strife
Your fortress - the tact in your mind
Leave all your constrictions behind
With force and the will in the night
