Jason James - Sleeping Giant lyrics

Well I guess I'm in Step with the right rhythm, dancing through the gates of hell again Feeling better than I've ever been Tell the reverend we ain't buying what he's peddling Let it settle in- the taste of blood and metal in my mouth, I was privy as a child I was bullied, I was beaten til I found it in myself- turned around and fed them back their own medicine Nightmares of a veteran Little redskin had to go and let the devil in I could feel him in my skeleton Hatred in my heart adding inches to my measurements Then I buried and delicate Pieces of myself and let the beast set a precedent Degenerate old elephant Stomping in my head, obsessive, looking for a sedative (Break) Then I rose in a wave Of raw emotion, uncontrollable rage How am I supposed to behave When you beat me to a pulp and try to throw me away? They didn't know what they made Poking a caged animal, they were stoking the flames They were provoking an ape While they stood behind the gla**, they were totally safe Until I broke through a hole and escaped Shook your foundation took the whole of your faith That same little boy you betrayed Dug the knife out of his back and cut your throat with the blade Justice as a poet would say Blood flowing, the stain growing as I opened your face So full of disdain, unloading the pain- pouring it all over your grave I know you're afraid I don't know what to make of it if it's only a phase But I hope that it stays Long enough to put every one of you bullies in place (Break) This is what I became The product of a child that nobody could save What, you think because of my name On the cover of an album this would suddenly change? It only doubled my strength My life swirled around the sink and got stuck in the drain f** the money and fame I'm coming again, directly for the jugular vein (Break, End Hook, Repeat 4x) When you wake a sleeping giant the entire world's gonna feel the fire From a furnace that was burning just to put the f**ing iron on you
