Sleeping Giant Songtext

von Candlemass

Buried deep under miles of ice
The sleeping giant frozen lies
Covered in frost since dogs could fly
Icy tear in star-drenched eye

Solar rays… electric clouds
Thunder bolts… 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
Thunder bolts… 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 skyes
Sleeping sleeping giant
Soon 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, unhuman being

Solar rays… electric clouds
Thunder bolts… 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 skyes
Sleeping sleeping giant
Soon the sun will melt the ice

Sleeping sleeping giant
Sleeping sleeping giant
Sleeping sleeping giant
Chained under the earth…
Sleeping sleeping giant
One day you will return… yeah
