Gowan - Awake The Giant lyrics

(Lawrence Gowan) Born of pride and frustration Under heavy sedation Fought to be realistic Everyone pessimistic Filled with anger and regret That's how I was till I met you Trapped beneath indigation Search for retaliation Bit the hand of the feeder Never trusted the leader Locked and held in a cold sweat That's how I was till I met you But you awake the giant You awake the giant But you awake the giant The giant in me Tossed and turned is the dreamer Hard to find the redeemer Bought and sold by my old friends Cast adrift to a dead end Stamped and marked as a bad debt That's how I was till I met you But you awake the giant You awake the giant But you awake the giant The giant in me And in that dying haze Where the giant lay inside me Waiting to rise You found a willing heart And you made it start to break free And you moved me But you awake the giant Elevate my fate You awake the giant Mama don't you make the great But you awake the giant Come and pull this weight in me But you awake the giant Elevate my fate You awake the giant Mama come and make the great But you awake the giant You know you pull this weight in me But you awake the giant You awake the giant But you awake the giant Know how to pull this weight in me (repeat to fade)
