Beowulf Funeral Song (Hallelujah Parody)

Lyrics: You’ve heard the stories cross the land The greatest, bravest, strongest man This epic starts across the sea in Denmark… Poor Hrothgar watched his kingdom fall As Grendel attacked his Herot hall A broken and a bloody - hallelujah Chorus: Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... Tales of Hrothgar’s woe and Grendel’s glee Made their way across the sea Tales of living nightmares coming true Then a hero arrived to save the Danes From nights of terrors, nights of pains Beowulf to the rescue – hallelujah! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... After the party, in the night Waiting for the bitter fight Weaponless he fought him for the glory Saving all the Danes from harm Beowulf ripped off Grendel’s arm All the people praising hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... Grendel’s Mother’s anger boiled In her wrath the Danes did toil They said, Save us one more time, please Beowulf, will you? Beowulf found her watery lair And proved he was the monster slayer Killed Grendel AND his mother – hallelujah! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... After 50 years as Geatland’s King The final song the bards will sing The dragon and the glory ringing to you His melted shield and broken sword Finally won that dragon’s hoard But left Beowulf cold and broken - hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
