Under the Lake Lyrics

She's waiting, under the lake

Which path? Which path will you take

You can turn back now with your life, unscathed, and your honor brought to shame

Or you can stay and fight, as you did last night, with your head held high like a king

You plunge into those murky depths, your soul as strong as steel

Up above they chant your name, and a war-famed blade you wield

Say a prayer before you go, this fight may not be won

They say the creature's mother is fiercer than her son

She stalks you, under the lake

You stab her, her flesh will not break

Then on the wall you see it there, a gleaming hilt of gold

A blade untouched by mortal hands, forged by a race of old

You plunge into those murky depths, your soul as strong as steel

Up above they chant your name, a war-famed blade you wield

Say a prayer before you go, this fight may not be won

They say that Grendel's mother is stronger than the son

Yeah!

In the darkest moment, a sword to slay the foe

You take the steel into your hands and give the killing blow

You've kept the honor to your name, the battle's fought and won

For you have slain the mother, as you've slain the son
