Sleeping Giant

Buried deep under miles of ice
The sleeping giant frozen lies
Covered in frost since dogs could fly
Icy tear in the star-drenched eye
Solar rays, electric clouds
Thunderbolts, don't wake him up
Mountains die and mountains form
You see no light, no polar storm
His hammer smashed whole worlds to dust
The legend that was colossus
Solar rays, electric clouds
Thunderbolts, don't wake him up
Sleeping sleeping giant
Once you were a king
Sleeping sleeping giant
The lord of everything
Sleeping sleeping giant
You fell from silent skies
Sleeping sleeping giant
The Sun will melt the ice
A God among the ants he was
But the people were afraid of course
He was the thing that should not be
A freak of nature, inhuman being
Solar rays, electric clouds
Thunderbolts, don't wake him up
Sleeping sleeping giant
Once you were a king
Sleeping sleeping giant
The lord of everything
Sleeping sleeping giant
You fell from silent skies
Sleeping sleeping giant
The Sun will melt the ice
Sleeping sleeping giant
Sleeping sleeping giant
Chained under the earth
Sleeping sleeping giant
One day you will return, yeah
