The Giant's Path

Let those who long for peace prepare for war

We walk in the wake of those who go before

Who dare to dream and dared to long

And dared to strike out swift and strong

 

They dared to love they dared to lose

They dared to think they dared to choose

They dared to stand as sword and shield

They dared to stand and never yield

 

Through wood and plain they carved a trail

'Neath sunny skies and stormy gales

Through steamy jungles and deserts bare

Beneath the waves and through the air

 

They slept where wise men fear to dwell

They supped with dragons that dine in hell

They trudged through mud and passed through sand

And carved through rock with barren hand

 

Now time has passed and memories faded

The Giants are gone and we stand jaded

Of all they dared to leave behind

Of all its glory we stand blind

 

But some of us dare not forget

The road that's carved from blood and sweat

It's made from love and forged with wrath

We dare to walk the giants path
