Lyrics

Sleeping Giant

Earth has burst, mountain flames Moon beheld father snake Mind control has left its nest! Shame on Bulls roar loud, the fearless fall Wooden vessels, broken wings And caught my killer in my grave Shame on Eyes of grace kill again Trapped in maze, trembling fear Head scorched brow, perish the land Shame on A vast calm wilderness The call to adventure comes Lead, land atop this rock Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill
