A Giant's End

[Verse 1:]
In the days of the witches and kings
Brave warriors land on Totnes shores
Guided by owls wings
To a new land to explore
But among the valleys and forests
Lived creatures of fearsome size
Towering above the mists
With piercing sunken eyes
The giants of Goemagot
Who claimed the land as theirs
Insisted the warriors to go
And their lives they would spare.

[Verse 2:]
The warriors refused
Standing tall and proud
The mighty horde then drew their swords and charged into the crowd
Fighting as like animals
They hacked and slashed and bludgeoned
Slaughtering the giants with all the power they could summon
With no chance of winning
The giants did despair
But not once did they think of turning back and running
They fought hard and strong
Until the bitter end
To protect their homeland that they swore to defend.

[Chorus:]
Blood stains the English shores
The rivers and the moors.

[Verse 3:]
Bested by warriors of Troy
With hatred in their souls
Houses lay destroyed
In a land they once called home.

Run.

[Verse 4:]
Run
Back to the caves
Hide
And your lives may be saved
They will return
And hunt down all the rest
The sons of Goemagot
Must flee further south west.

[Verse 5:]
With an arrow to the knee
Goemagot was too hurt to walk
Unable to flee
He hid himself in the Dartmoor bog
They men of Troy did find him
Then dragged him out the swamp
And waited for his wounded limb
To heal back at their camp.

As his wounds were healing
The humans hatched a plan
A brutal fight until the death, giant versus man
They'd find the fallen giants
And invite them to watch
The fight between a giant and a man on the hoes edge
The giants did then come
Confident to win
Goemagot was three times taller they thought with a grin
How could they lose?
The man was small and weak
Their leader would crush him with his enormous physique.

[Chorus]

[Verse 6:]
The battle did commence
And they wrestled 'round like pigs
Until the giant grabbed the man and crushed two of his ribs
Applause from the giants who thought the battle won
But little did they know the fight was very far from done
Angered by his error
The foreigner did rise
Then launched the giant down the cliff to a certain demise
The oceans ran red
For miles all around
And now the giant Goemagot would surely be dead.
