the last of the giants

Karliene

OOh, I am the last of the giants
My people are gone from the earth
The last of the great mountain giants
Who ruled all the world at my birth
Oh the smallfolk have stolen my forests
They've stolen my rivers and hills

And the've built a great wall through my valleys
And fished all the fish from my rills
In stone halls they burn their great fires
In stone halls they forge their sharp spears
Whilst I walk alone in the mountains
With no true companion but tears

They hunt me with dogs in the daylight
They hunt me with torches by night
For these men who are small can never stand tall
Whilst giants still walk in the light
OOh, I am the last of the giants
So learn well the words of my song
For when I am gone the singing will fade
And the silence shall last long and long
