Giant

I stood so proud on top of the cliff

my knees were hard, my legs were stiff

the sun wept 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 heaven 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 ???

where i stood us down and on the earth that spun

i heard the dear voices of benevolent men

i'd heard before but didn't know when

the dead still dwelved behind the stars

i will 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

they travel the 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
