Giants there were in the earth in those days
Striding across the hills, walking the land
Giants roamed along all the world-ways
Monsters, phantasms, vanished from their advance
They warmed their cold hands with enormous fires
Giants there were in the earth in those days
Flying across the sky, fast as a blink
The whole world was like their back lawn
Giants roamed along all the world-ways
Sea animals grew deaf, and land animals trembled
In the age of the thundering giants.
Giants there were in the earth in those days.
Much was lost and forgotten — a butterfly’s kiss,
The wind’s buffet, and snow softly falling
Giants roamed along all the world-ways
Rising ever higher yet forgetting
Their roots — who they are and where they came from.
Giants there were in the earth in those days,
Giants roamed along all the world-ways.
We are the giants.
