Standing on the Shoulders of Giants - Armored Saint

Rise when the alarm abruptly sounds

Hope that opportunity knocks

Nemesis sow seeds of doubt

Leaves me feeling shell-shocked

(Shell-shocked)

Confident I think I got it all figured out

With help from osmosis

Sift through the crap, hit the safety valve

Then put on aegis

Scream, race from the inferno

Turn left?

Turn right?

Go straight?

Which way do I go?

As I grow older I lift this boulder

With strength I chip it away

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Punching the sky everyday

As life gets colder, flames they smolder

Climb so I can survey

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Punching the sky everyday

Nectar of the gods taste bittersweet

Not out of the mire yet

Got to be a badass to take the heat

Not be saddled with mounting debt

(Forget)

Wolf appears with a nice wool coat

Draws me in with a smile

Rid myself of this spare change

And that’s how I reconcile

Scream, race from the inferno

Turn left?

Turn right?

Go straight?

Which way do I go?

(I know)

As I grow older I lift this boulder

With strength I chip it away

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Punching the sky everyday

As life gets colder, flames they smolder

Climb so I can survey

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Punching the sky everyday

(Punching the sky everyday)

All these birds

Are coming home to roost

To fly in my face

Or to maybe give me a boost

Measure the man, the amount of grit

Every ounce or send me adrift…

Ain’t no thorn in my side

I cannot expel

Juggernaut of a stone moves well

'Cause I know

As I grow older I lift this boulder

With strength I chip it away

(Chip it away)

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Punching the sky everyday

(Punching the sky everyday)

As life gets colder flames they smolder

Climb so I can survey

(I can survey)

Standing on the shoulders of giants

(Giants)

Punching the sky everyday

(Punching the sky everyday)

Punch away

Punch away

Punch away

Punch away

Away
