When Giants Walked Lyrics

Chorus:	 Oh, take me in a dream or real



	 To that old time the earth once knew



	 When all the lands alive with legend



	 Shared a future bright and new



	 When all the animals were tame



	 When every creature talked



	 When giants walked







1.Before peculiar was a sin



The world was playground for us all



And giants were our gentle friends



Before we took that tragic fall



And light was dripping honey



On the mountains and the shore



But no one speaks of giants anymore







2.Before peculiar was a sin



When honor-bound was something real



Before all creatures learned to fear



Before we learned to lie and steal



The giants danced in circles



'Round the fires we built to share



And now we cannot find them anywhere







3.And then peculiar turned to sin



And different meant a friendship's death



And all the rare and special beasts



Stopped in their tracks and held their breath



And when the giants saw this



There was nothing left to say



And that was when the giants went away







4.Yes, when peculiar turned to sin



They gathered in their giant hands



The different and defenseless fey



The strangest creatures in the lands



And carried them away



Before another day could dawn



And still nobody knows where they have gone







5.So now peculiar is a sin



And honor is a useless token



Different means a life alone



And love is better left unspoken



Everyone who lives outside



The circle that we`ve chalked



Would love to go to where the giants walked







6.And if peculiar is a sin



Then mark me with a sinners brand



And if the gods are kind to me



I'll climb into some gentle hand



And leave behind a world so blind



It cannot see my face



And go to where peculiar is a grace
