Wake the Giants

[Intro]
Footsteps
Heavy on stone
Crowd holds its breath
Like they already know
[Verse 1]
Names carved deep
On the steel of the gate
Blood-red sun
Sinking slow on the slate
Closed fists rise
Like a thousand flags
Every heartbeat
Drums inside a ragged chest
[Chorus]
Wake the giants (hey!)
Shake the ground tonight (hey!)
Every shadow
Every secret
Coming into light
If you start this story
You will never sleep
Wake the giants (hey!)
They were made to keep you
On the edge of your seat
[Verse 2]
Cold eyes watch
From the top of the wall
One wrong step
And you’re lost in the fall
Old scars burn
When the dark rides in
You can taste the risk
Like iron on skin
[Chorus]
Wake the giants (hey!)
Shake the ground tonight (hey!)
Every shadow
Every secret
Coming into light
If you start this story
You will never sleep
Wake the giants (hey!)
They were made to keep you
On the edge of your seat
[Bridge]
Who stands firm
When the world tilts sideways?
Who walks out
From a dead man’s hallway?
You turn one page
Then another
Then ten
You swear one more
Then it hooks you again (hey!)
[Chorus]
Wake the giants (hey!)
Shake the ground tonight (hey!)
Every kingdom
Every memory
Locked in teeth that bite
If you taste this danger
You will never leave
Wake the giants (hey!)
They were made to keep you
On the edge of your seat
[Outro]
Last bell rings
But you still don’t go
One more secret
You just have to know (hey!)

Cinematic rock with towering drums, distorted low brass, and choirs under male vocals. Tense, pulsing verses over staccato strings; chorus explodes stadium-big with gang shouts, tom rolls, and massive power chords. Brief breakdown in the bridge with ticking percussion and whispered doubles, then a final, triumphant chorus that feels like a battle chant.
