[Intro — Slow, Ethereal, Minimal]
In the hush before the heartbeat,
Where the twilight learns to breathe…
There’s a promise in the ashes
Calling out from underneath.
Every sigh becomes a signal,
Every silence holds a spark—
We are stories left unwritten
In the marrow of the dark.
⸻
[Verse I — Soft, Somber, Sleep Token–like]
We are mountains made of marrow,
Breathing low beneath the snow,
Every heartbeat shakes the hollow
But no one hears the undertow.
In the quiet, kingdoms tremble,
Ash collects on folded hands,
We were built to bear the heavens—
Yet we sleep through sinking lands.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — Rising Tension, Ethereal Sadness]
And I feel the fault lines curl
Underneath my ribs again…
But I can’t tell if it’s an ending
Or the place we all begin.
⸻
[Chorus — Emotional, Atmospheric, Slow Power]
Oh, we’re sleeping giants,
Dreaming through the riot,
While the world collapses softly
On the shoulders we deny.
Oh, our shadows tower higher
Than the storms that brush the sky,
But we never look behind us—
Never see our size.
⸻
[Verse II — Haunting, Melancholic, Flowing]
There’s a fire in the silence,
Hidden deep in dormant bones,
Like a prophecy unfolding
In a language we outgrew.
Every whisper is a warning,
Every tear a turning key—
But we keep our eyelids weighted
By the weight we fail to see.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — Tension Returning, Breathier]
And the ground beneath us shivers,
Like a truth we left to die…
But we can’t rise if we keep clinging
To the dust we sleep beside.
⸻
[Breakdown — Heavy, Downtuned, Slow & Crushing Instrumental, sub-bass in drop G or lower, growling under the mix, Guitars dragging with dissonant slides, Drums hitting like collapsing stone, Ambient choirs flickering in the background, Breathy “ahh—ahh—ahh” ghost harmonies]
⸻
[Bridge — Soft, Ethereal, Floating After Impact]
Tell me…
If our spirits are the tremors
Shaking through the cosmic seams,
Why do we bury all our thunder
In the cradle of a dream?
If the ruins call our names
Like a hymn we’ve yet to claim—
Why do we stay asleep
When we’re the ones the earth became?
⸻
[Chorus — Heavy, Downtuned, Awakened, Epic]
[screamed]
Oh, we’re sleeping giants!
But now the ground is crying out our name!
And every fracture in the skyline
Knows the world won’t stay the same.
’Cause when our shadows rise, they swallow
All the storms that haunt the sky—
We were born to bear the burden
We kept trying to deny.
And now the earth is shaking open,
Like it’s begging us to rise—
We’re not sleeping giants anymore…
We finally see our SIZE!
[Outro — Sparse, Somber, Sleep Token–Style Fade]
Maybe we’re afraid of waking,
Afraid of what we’ll find—
That the world was never breaking…
It was waiting for our rise.
So sleep, giant, sleep—
’Til you remember you’re divine.
And when the dawn finally reaches you…
Watch the whole world realign.
