TITANFORGE - THE AGE OF GIANTS

TITANFORGE - THE AGE OF GIANTS Nu-Metal, DOOM METAL Lyrics: THE AGE OF GIANTS (Titanforge / Symphonic Groove Metal Finale) --- [Intro] (The sound of distant thunder rolls across a mountain range.) Massive war drums begin... Slow. Ancient. Like footsteps echoing across continents. A deep voice speaks. "Before kingdoms..." "Before empires..." "Before history learned our names..." (long pause) "...there were builders." --- Verse 1 Before the roads were carved through mountains, Before the oceans bore our sails, Before the towers kissed the heavens, There were hands that would not fail. They carried stone where none had traveled, Lit the dark with stubborn flame, Not for crowns or endless glory... But so tomorrow knew their names. Every hammer rang like thunder. Every footprint shook the plain. Every dream became a pathway Others dared to walk again. --- Chorus 1 THIS IS THE AGE OF GIANTS! NOT OF BIRTH... BUT OF WILL! WE DON'T WAIT FOR THE MOUNTAINS... WE CLIMB THEM STILL! THIS IS THE AGE OF GIANTS! HEARTS OF STONE! HANDS OF FIRE! WE BUILD THE WORLD ONE DREAM... HIGHER! --- Verse 2 The rivers carved the ancient valleys. The winds reshaped the endless sky. But human hands kept building onward... Teaching hope itself to climb. Every bridge defied a chasm. Every forge outshined the night. Every child who dared imagine Added one more spark of light. No throne survives forever. No empire keeps its claim. But every soul that lifts another Lives beyond a name. --- Chorus 2 THIS IS THE AGE OF GIANTS! LET THE EARTH RESOUND! FROM THE DEEPEST VALLEY TO THE HIGHEST GROUND! THIS IS THE AGE OF GIANTS! WE STAND AS ONE! WE DON'T INHERIT TOMORROW... WE BUILD WHAT'S TO COME! --- Bridge (Everything falls away except strings, choir, and a distant hammer.) One generation... Lays the stone. The next... Raises the wall. The next... Builds the tower. Until one day... Someone touches the stars... Without ever knowing How many hands Lifted them there. --- Breakdown (The orchestra stops. Down-tuned guitars slam in with colossal force.) STAND! BUILD! RISE! ENDURE! STONE! STEEL! BLOOD! MORE! MARCH! CLIMB! FORGE! HIGH! LET THE MOUNTAINS LEARN... OUR... NAMES! (Choir joins the final line with thunderous harmony.) --- Verse 3 When the last forge finally cools, When the final hammer rests, May another pair of calloused hands Begin where we left our best. May they build beyond our dreaming. May they cross a brighter sea. May they never fear horizons... Because we proved There was always Something more To see. --- Outro Chorus THIS IS THE AGE OF GIANTS! THE FIRE LIVES ON! NOT IN STONE... BUT IN EVERY DAWN! THIS IS THE AGE OF GIANTS! LET THE AGES SAY... THE GREATEST OF ALL TITANS DIDN'T SEEK TO RULE THE WORLD... THEY LEFT IT STRONGER THAN THEY FOUND IT. --- Outro (The distortion slowly fades.) A single hammer strike... *CLANG...* A lone voice whispers: "Every giant..." (long pause) "...was once the first step." The choir holds one final note. Silence. ©Rustline Records
