The Rumour and the Giantess Lyrics

Wayside's again my lonely brink
While my distant ships to insignificance must sink
Travelling well leaves no trace to see
The keeper needs neither lock nor key

Once I had fully known, the sleeping truth in memories overgrown
Still weak and soft, but strong in tone, the waters flow and grind the stones

Five colours make me go blind!
Five heads circling around my mind!
Then she appeared with shaking ground, a phantom black - a devouring cloud

Lady giant tall as mountain, fell-minded walks the land for the death of men
Lady giant tall as mountain, fell-minded walks the land for the woe of men

Showing me her valley soon
Where her eye is the sun - her heart is the moon

Lady giant tall as mountain, fell-minded walks the land for the death of men
Lady giant tall as mountain, fell-minded walks the land for the woe of men

[hidden track]

With deadly shine the pale moon hangs over groves as still as the grave
With eerie sighs the night ghost flits through the sky
Clouds of fog shudder and the stars their mourning wanly wear
Like lamps flickering in the crypt
Ghostly spectres, dumb, hollow and haggard in death's dark pomp do process
A funeral throng moves towards the graveyeard under the cover of night's grave veil
His fiery wound's torn asunder again, his soul pierced by Hell's sharp pains!

With deadly shine the pale moon hangs over groves as still as the grave
With eerie sighs the night ghost flits through the sky
Clouds of fog shudder and the stars their mourning wanly wear
Like lamps flickering in the crypt
The earth thuds muffled on the coffin lid, but for one more glimpse of the earth's treasures!
The grave's dire door shuts fast everymore
More muffled still, the thudding earth grows into a hill
Never does the tomb give back what once it owns!
