Sleeping Giant
Dusk slays the day
Dawn takes sin away
Lunar waves
Wash and fade
With the tide
Clouded thunderhead
Disgruntled mountain
Surging typhoon
Volcanic fountain
Storming hand
Gathers night
Acting on plan
Disease, famine
We’ve awakened
A sleeping demon
With each branch we break
Another life he takes
Fire destroys
What he enjoys
Rivers and lakes
Move and vein
Deserts scabbed skin
Canyons bleed within
The plague a science
We stand
In human defiance
And neck to blade
The one that gave
The finder of the way
Destined to fall away
