Giant

Lyrics

I stood so proud on top of the cliff My knees were hard, my legs were stiff The sun whipped me but I didn't feel it An ant was climbing up my heel, it Tackled my cold, heedless ankle I didn't make a move and let it tickle I gazed about but I didn't see Any limit between the world and me You were not far, you were quite near You seemed fearless but did you fear That I might leave you then Or was it just not believable Because one must have a reason to go and none to stay And these things don't happen everyday My feet were firm, my hands did not shake I was there only for being there's sake Now my hands are strong enough to kill There's no way cause there's no will I'm a giant on a dwarf's shoulder And the night it only gets colder I once found a haven six feet under The dirty green ocean water The waves were high, the waves were strong My afterlife didn't last too long I was washed ashore into sand and sun Where I stood astounded and the earth it spun I heard the dear voices of benevolent men I'd heard before but didn't know when The dead still dwelled behind the stars I would lie on the grass and wait for hours Until one would suddenly steal away Just to leave me happy where I lay I knew I would see it again some time It travelled a world that was the same as mine The very world where animals speak And you only find the things you seek Now my hands are strong enough to kill There's no way cause there's no will I'm a giant on a dwarf's shoulder And the night it only gets colder Now my hands are strong enough to kill There's no way cause there's no will I'm a giant on a dwarf's shoulder And the night it only gets colder
