Giants
jeff schneeweis Lyrics

I was born inside a forest
I had to learn survival skills early on in life, being raised in the wild.

Learned to fend for myself
Had to learn all the essential skills that would be necessary for my survival.

Then one day I found your foot prints
One day, I discovered a path that led me out of the forest and right to your doorstop.

That lead me right to your house
Followed those footprints that brought me to your doorstep.

You greeted me with your warm eyes
The moment you opened the door, your friendly pair of eyes welcomed me to your humble abode.

And extended out your hand
You were gracious enough to offer me shelter and more.

Some how I knew that I could trust you
Somehow, I just had a hunch that I could confide in and trust you.

To teach me how to be a man
You took me under your wing, and groomed me into becoming an upright and responsible person.

But then we grew up together
As time passed by, we both matured, and we were there for each other as we came of age.

I studied the world as you studied me
You were my guide, but at the same time, I was keenly observing and analyzing the world around me.

We built an empire fit for two, but
We both built something in tandem that we could be proud of, but eventually something went amiss.

I only saw what you let me to see
I was living in your shadow and could only perceive what you wanted me to perceive.

You better watch out there are giants in the sky
The coming days will bring adversity that will require us to be wary and vigilant.

Get ready they're coming for you
Prepare yourself for unavoidable challenges.

As this house became a prison
The safe haven that was once our refuge slowly turned into a place of confinement.

I served a sentence without choice
I felt like I had no other option than to serve my time under house arrest.

And my old friend became the warden
You, who was once my friend and confidante, became the person who controlled every aspect of my life.

The one who locked away my voice
You were the one who constrained my freedom, and I could no longer express my thoughts and feelings.

But we grew up together
Growing up together brought us closer, but it is what led to the ultimate betrayal.

And how did I let you get this close
I can't fathom how I let you get to a point where you had so much control over me.

Your warm eyes they turned to fire
Your once kind-hearted personality became entangled with anger, leading to a drastic personality shift.

And said boy your nothing but a host
You began to see me as nothing more than a subordinate, devoid of individual identity and purpose.

But I know something that you don't
Despite your best efforts to control me, I have a secret that you are not aware of.

The wind told the forest
The whispers of the wind carried through the forest.

The forest then told me
By listening to nature's voice, I learned something that you didn't want me to know.

It's time you meet the Ones who live where sky meets sea
I have to go and meet those who live in a place you didn't want me to pursue.

But what about the warden?
I know that if I escape now, you will be left with nothing.

He took everything I loved
You stripped me of everything I held dear, but there is still one thing left.

My son the Ones who are coming
In spite of everything, I still have my child, and he is coming with me.

Even he's afraid of
Even someone as vulnerable as my child knows that there are dangers.

Ready or not they're coming for you
Whether you are prepared or not, consequences will follow.

They're coming for you
The inevitable outcome of my actions is coming for you.

You
You are the one who I'm fighting against, and you'll feel the brunt of it.

They're coming for you
The effects of your actions are drawing near.

They're coming for you
Your inevitable fate is on the horizon, and I can only say 'brace for it.'
