Heart of the Giant

The sky had rustled red

The birds grew quiet as hell

The day no longer turned

Night fell on the world

The river ran murky with poison

The land was desolate and black

The bees had left the valley

The orchards were hacked down

The huts and castles were deserted

The dusty roads were crowded

In another direction I ran

Through a deep crack

In the mountain I slipped

Descended into the otherworld

Through a deep crack

In the mountain I slipped

Into dark death in Manala's stream I dove

I was carried by the rapids

And my blood began to rush

Then the river turned into a vein

The vein into a crimson hall

And on its walls flicker the pictures

Of our world, eternally dancing

The hall pealed and rumble

Through a deep crack

In the mountain I slipped

Descended into the otherworld

Through a deep crack

In the mountain I slipped

Into dark death in Manala's stream I dove

And on its walls flicker the pictures

Of our world, eternally dancing

The hall pealed and rumble

For deep down in the mountain of time

They painted out our lives

Songs of triumph silenced

Faded and died

Through a deep crack

In the mountain I slipped

Descended into the otherworld

Through a deep crack

In the mountain I slipped

Into dark death in Manala's stream I dove

Manala's stream I dove
