The Giant Within Part 1 (P4)
**[Pre-Chorus]** He spoke not of conquest, but peace without fear, Of seeing the truth when destruction draws near. While Shidden demanded that we draw our swords, The Dark Elf reminded us life still was ours. **[Chorus]** Shidden was wrong, we saw far too late, His road led to ruin, to hatred and fate. While we marched to war, he stood against fear, The Dark Elf's quiet wisdom made the truth clear. We are the forgotten ones, broken and blind, Searching for pieces of what we left behind. Mayhap we chose, mayhap we fell, But maybe there's still a way to break the spell. **[Verse 4]** Through shadowed forests and mountains of stone, The Dark Elf walked, but he never walked alone. A Gem Creature danced at his side with a grin, Turning the darkness to laughter again. One carried wisdom, the other carried light, One watched the future, one lived for tonight. Through every danger, through every despair, The two stood together, refusing to break. The Dark Elf saw truths hidden deep in the lies, While the Gem Creature laughed beneath blackened skies. Together they traveled where few dared to go, A guardian and trickster against every foe. **[Bridge]** But the Gods stayed silent. The ancient ones turned away. The prayers became whispers. The whispers became decay. One final step. One final breath. One blade raised high To bargain with death. And somewhere inside him, beneath all the pain, A voice spoke softly: You don't have to become the chain. **[Final Chorus]** How can I choose? How can I fight? If ending their suffering means ending my life? What will remain when the darkness is gone? A broken soul, or a reason to carry on? Mayhap we chose, mayhap we fell, Mayhap we were never the masters of this spell. We are the forgotten, but not yet erased, Still searching for meaning through time and through space. **[Bridge]** But the Gods stayed silent. The ancient ones turned away. The prayers became whispers. The whispers became decay. One final step. One final breath. One blade raised high To bargain with death. And somewhere inside him, beneath all the pain, A voice spoke softly: You don't have to become the chain. **[Final Chorus]** How can I choose? How can I fight? If ending their suffering means ending my life? What will remain when the darkness is gone? A broken soul, or a reason to carry on? Mayhap we chose, mayhap we fell, Mayhap we were never the masters of this spell. We are the forgotten, but not yet erased, Still searching for meaning through time and through space. **[Outro]** So here we stand where the old worlds end, With enemies gone and the broken to mend. The Giant is fallen, the old path is scarred, But the Dark Elf still walks through the night unafraid. The Gem Creature laughs as the shadows draw near, A spark in the darkness, a reason to stay here. Mayhap we were lost. Mayhap we were wrong. But the road still continues. And we walk on.
