Lyrics

Once there were giants walking amongst us Now I have to deal with little men with little hearts I'm glad my father's not here to see What happened to men like him They fought the battles these dwarves can only talk about Times have been better but littleness won't invade my soul One word from you and you will make my life whole I stopped the demons at my door I lost respect for so called laws And the lawmakers all exposed themselves as fool The whole world was smaller then, shrinking so it seems The giants you've read about are lost to your dreams I am just a simple man and I need love to survive I would be happy If there was a sense to my life I've come to value man as good as their world I've learned to laugh as what is absurd I'm beware of man what they move in herds The whole world was smaller then, shrinking so it seems The giants you've read about are lost to your dreams The Earth was a growing place, turning with the sun And giants you've heard about are gone, all gone
