She said tell me again
About when giants walked among us
With their memories reaching back
To connect with everything they saw
And how they shook the ground
As they raised the mighty trumpet
Before we laid them low with sticks of thunder
When paper still ruled our heartsTrophies on the wall
Hung by rich men in the cities
Bought and paid with casual intent and callous brevity
We hoe and plow the fields
No row left unturned
We cleared a million miles
With no tree left unburned
We conquered every inch
We beat and cracked the stone
Left nothing in our wake
Little but us alone
With only tusk and boneAnd what about the one
With castles made of winter
And the miles of clean wide open
That shown like diamonds in the sun
And how they wasted in the sea
As we choked upon the waters
But the smoke kept rolling thick and black
By the dragons we had made
We hoe and plow the fields
No row left unturned
We cleared a million miles
With no tree left unburned
We conquered every inch
We beat and cracked the stone
Left nothing in our wake
Little but us alone
With only tusk and boneShe said tell me again
About when giants walked among us
