“The Giant Within”
by Scott McGuire
Lyrics
Verse 1
I can feel the storm crawl under my skin
Same old battle, different grin
Shadows smiling, playing kind
Cut you down while they hide behind
I’ve seen their tricks, I’ve heard their lies
They call it truth with hollow eyes
Pre-Chorus
But I don’t play their game, I don’t take the bait
Calm is the weapon they can’t break
Chorus
I’ve faced the giant within
No blade, no sin, just skin
You can cut me down, but I don’t give in
I was born to face the giant within
Light falls, but I stand still
This is my fight, my hill
You can’t kill the fire that’s always been
I was born to face the giant within
Verse 2
They hide their claws behind concern
Smile while watching the bridges burn
They talk of peace but pray for pain
Their comfort lives inside my strain
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve seen the test
And I found my calm inside the mess
Pre-Chorus
Truth is heavy, but I wear it well
I’ve walked through Heaven and I’ve seen Hell
Chorus
I’ve faced the giant within
No crown, no kin, just faith and skin
The harder they push, the deeper I dig in
I was born to face the giant within
Thunder roars, but I don’t shake
Peace is the power they can’t fake
You can’t drown the fire that burns within
I was born to face the giant within
I was born to face the giant within
Bridge
Their ghosts still whisper in my veins
But I’ve broken their chains in the rain
I carry their lessons, not their sins
I am where the fire begins
No fear in my bones, no envy, no shame
I carry my cross, I remember the names
Final Chorus
I’ve faced the giant within
Again and again and again
Lightning strikes, but it won’t get in
I was born to face the giant within
Let the thunder roll, let the storm begin
I was born to face the giant within
Let the thunder roll, let the storm begin
I was born to face the giant within
I was born to face the giant within
Outro
The calm they can’t fake
That’s what breaks them
