[Intro: Blaring pipe organ] "The Giant Monster shambles through the Salamanca Woods... You can't hear him But he can see you..." [Verse 1] Eochaid was a king a long time ago. He ruled his people with a strict hand. He made sure everyone lived honestly. His kingdom peaceful and harvests blessed the land. Everything changed after the war began. Strange people came from across the water. They were powerful and no one could stop them. The Fir Bolg fought but they lost, they faltered. [Chorus] Eochai shambles through the Salamanca Woods... You can't hear him But he can see you.. [Verse 2] Eochaid fell to his death on a cold night. His people lost their home without warning. They wandered and drifted without rest or hope. Searching for a new home where they could belong. Time passed, and they were forgotten for many years. [Chorus] Eochai shambles through the Salamanca Woods... You can't hear him But he can see you.. [Bridge, pipe organ intensifies] And now those same people are not quite alive. They changed into something unnatural and wrong. Eochaid walks in the woods with a burning head. His name is now Eochai, he who shambles along. His followers, the Fir Bolg, have pumpkins for faces. They shift and move quietly among the trees. They stay hidden in Salamanca's dark spaces. [Verse 3] At night, people hear footsteps on the path. The air grows cold without any warning. The trees seem to reach toward every traveler. Glowing eyes stare early in the morning. Eochai wants everyone to remember his pain. He marches with his people when the moon is high. He wants all in Salamanca to feel fear. No one is truly safe after the sun goes down and away. [Outro] Eochai shambles through the Salamanca Woods... You can't hear him But he can see you.. You can't hear him But he can see you..
