KINGDOM OF GIANTS LYRICS

1. Who I Once Was

Here, we need to reach the sun.

Awaken the Vesper,
Let the midnight hour come to a stand-still
And you will see me for what I am inside.
A creature, a monster,
I'm anything but ordinary.
You will see for what I am inside.
A creature,
I'm a monster.

I cannot control the urge to kill
As I no longer know
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was

Your time will come.
Take the lives of man before they pull the trigger.
I cannot control the urge to kill as I no longer know.
Trade your innocence for insanity,
Trade you teeth for fangs.
Take no prisoners is our strategy
Our survival means your casualties.

You'll never reach the sun.

Awaken the Vesper,
Let the midnight hour come to a stand-still
And you will see me for what I am inside.
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was
Who I once was

And now these bones will break until all of you know we're monsters,
Within us all are monsters.

2. A Test Of My Survival

This is a notion empowered by an individual motivation.
I've given most of my efforts to have not just a single person to rely on.

This obelisk of discouraging actions was all washed out by a tidal wave of art and soul,
And this will never make a coward of me,
I'll ride this wave up to the top.

The day I needed you summoned before me,
Became the day,
I was left all alone,

A test of my survival,
A test of my strength,
A test of my survival,
Everyone is distant!

The day I needed you, I watched you turn your back away from me,
And I'm all alone.
I never needed you anyway.
Cried out to you.
We are alone, we are alone.

I wouldn't trust you just as far as I could throw you.
I wouldn't ask for a single fucking thing from you.
I wouldn't trust you even if I've always known you.
I wouldn't ask for a single thing.

The day I needed the numbers beside me became the day that I was left all alone.
You never notice that people, they leave you, but you can do this on your own.

The day I needed you, I watched you turn your back away from me,
And I'm all alone.
Cried out to you, cried out to you.
We are alone, we are alone.

3. Watch Me

Finding out the truth behind those blue eyes was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

I'm writing out the truthful things I never said to you.

I tried so hard to change your mind.
There's no remorse in your eyes.
I'm finding out the truth of why my dreams are falling through, through.

All I could have told you would have saved my eyes from being blinded by fury and tears.

Now take a breath,
You've tried so hard,
And you're giving me all that you've got,
Now take a stand for everything, for everything.
I'll suffocate.
I won't regret the memories, the memories.

I'm writing out the truthful things I never said to you.
I tried so hard to change your mind.
There's no remorse in your eyes.
I'm finding out the truth of why my dreams are falling through, through.

Just watch me,
I can't escape.
Just watch me,
I can't escape.
Well then you walked through the open door without even listening to me.
Tongues tied with words that I abhor,
Everything you fucking said to me.
Just watch me,
I can't escape.
Just watch me,
I can't escape.
Just watch me,
I can't escape.

No more promises,
No more giving into you,
You won't hurt me again.

Now take a breath,
You've tried so hard,
And you're giving me all that you've got.
Now take a stand for everything,
For everything,
For everything.

4. Onslaught

So they cheer for the kill.
We stand in awe,
We bow at the sight of those that want our blood.

Scream slaves versus kings,
They sing,
Let the steel ring.

The crowd cheers for bloodshed, but they won't take me
Hephaestus hear their screams,
We have no place to flee
We fight side by side like brothers in arms.
No mercy from our captors,
We'll stand victorious.

Let's end their lives.
We are the heartless warriors fighting to live another day
But most of us will be taken by the blade.

And I won't be the sun to glaze over your shoulders,
You're so helpless.
[x3]

I won't be the beholder
Everything we know
Amazing you are so helpless
The lessons we made are to never retain your own fears.
It's life after life, pride over pride we've seen.

Life after life,
Pride over pride.
Life after life,
Pride over pride.

I won't be the sun to glaze over your shoulders,
You're so helpless.
And I won't be the sun to glaze over your shoulders,
You are so helpless.

The blood paints the sand red, but none belongs to me.
Heads taken from their shoulders, torsos fall to their knees.
We fight side by side like brothers in arms.
No mercy from our captors,
We'll stand victorious.

We are the heartless warriors fighting to live another day
But most of us will be taken by the blade.

I taste your fear.
In my arms you'll die.
By my hands you will suffer.
Let the chilling hands of death take hold.

5. The Overlord

Lay your crown aside,
Your tyranny I can't abide
You're a fraud, a liar in disguise.
Rightfully the heir is mine.

I'm not yet what I'm meant to be.
A true king wearing a mask.
You wear many faces, all of greed and misfortune.
I am not you, nor do I intend to be.

Silence makes its way into the room
Slithering on past everyone.
It touches the hands of time.
The dark lord has us at his will.

We must hold our ground and keep the floor from shifting.
We will not be silenced.
We'll make our presence be felt now.

I've seen you create empires and destroy them without warning.
You hide behind your army and watch as they vanquish.
You're not my king.
You're a tyrant pretending to be.
You're not my king.

I call on the army of the dead,
We will take vengeance on all this land.
Arise, my fallen,
We will not let this go undone.

I won't allow you to consume me.
I will show no remorse.
You will be overthrown.
This is our kingdom.
Watch as we take what's ours.
This is our kingdom.
You will be overthrown.
I won't back down now.

And I won't bow down despite the words you've said to these people.
You lied right through your teeth.
And they won't be deceived now.
You cannot break me.
We'll stand on our two feet.
Rise!

I'll overrun the place I once called my home.
I am my father's son, rightful heir to the throne.
Watch as I take your last breath and take what is mine.
You will bow down.

You'll see a world of hate through my own eyes, through my own eyes.
You're just a murderer.
The king, my father's now a ghost.
You've taken over what I'm earning back.

There's only one way out.

6. Guns And Girls

This source of pain is all that's left of you.
This misery is all because of you.
End this life
Not that you would care.
Take these dreams
Watch your fucking step.
I won't be walked upon,
Watch your step and I'll watch mine
'Til the day we take our own paths.

Held down by these things you've created,
They pierce the flesh and poison the mind.
Poison the mind!

Pray now for the life that you think that you deserve.
There is more to life than living with regret.
Life is a gift.

You held the syndicate but gave into lies.
Forget the times I spent captured by your eyes,
I cannot believe I wasted my time.
Forget the lies, the pain is all in your mind.
I let this go.
Your turn to fucking move on.
Forget the lies, the pain is all in your mind.
Now let this go home.

And I'm still working on the fact
That this is just a symptom and I'm going through phases.
When this world fades to black like all the universe is now
I'll be calling your name.
And if your heart should judge me for the little work I've done,
Where will you go?

There is more to life than living with regret.
Life is a gift.
Life is a gift.
Even with all of these flaws, promise not to change.

I'm still working on the fact that this is just a symptom and I'm going through phases.
But when your heart should judge me for what little work I've done,
Where will you go?
You've been holding on forever and I just don't understand
Everything that I remember, I will soon enough forget
And what did you teach me?
To never miss a note, no, no, no, no,
Where did you go?
