Mighty Giants

Where were you when that far roar
Turned into ear-splitting thunder?
When it tore my life asunder
Left it bleeding on the floor?
When I took a low profile
Undercover, in exile
In the corner of my room
Losing landmarks in the gloom

Oh, mighty giants
This is defiance!
My mind impeaches
Your crooked speeches
You pledged to care and guide
Instead, abused and lied
Look what I have become
Since now I trust no one

From escaping the doldrums
I came to the great old ones
They’re so wise, they know what’s true
What I should do to make it through
You are in my room at last
Shouting, I must stay steadfast
But when I’m told to stand en garde
Subtlety’s the sword I’ve got

Oh, mighty giants
No more reliance
On your sweet speeches
My mind impeaches
Your pirate flag has shrunk
And wretched ship has sunk
Things you’re too proud to see
I dub thee Pharisee

All of my joys and my sorrows
Must have been shared with the others
And when I needed you
Where the fuck you were?
