Verse 1

We lay the generous ones down slow

The ones who made more room than they took

The ground remembers where they stood

We read the old words and the meaning shifts

Something translated into loss

And even the scholars say it isn't right

Chorus

Every giant leaves a wound

In the shape of what they were

We were lovers of this life

Now we're standing in the blur

The tables set for celebration

The smoke across the hill

We reach for what we knew before

But nothing quite sits still

Verse 2

The corridors of order crack at both ends

One room walks out, another room burns

Somewhere a highway runs beneath the sea

Carrying what we name and what we won't

Elephants found with no explanation

We file the inquiry, we wait, we grieve

Chorus

Every giant leaves a wound

In the shape of what they were

We were lovers of this life

Now we're standing in the blur

The tables set for celebration

The smoke across the hill

We reach for what we knew before

But nothing quite sits still

Bridge

We were gathered in the square

We were watching the sky turn white

The temperatures climb and the councils split

And the translation never comes out right

Still we carry the names of the generous dead

Still we count what the earth has lost

Still a city kneels and says: a lover of life

And we know exactly what it cost

Outro

Every giant, every table

Every fire on the ridge

We were lovers, we were present

We will build another bridge

Instrumental Outro

How did it make you feel?

A new song arrives tomorrow.
