R: Oh, take me in a dream or real To that old time the earth once knew When all the lands alive with legend Shared a future bright and new When all the animals were tame When every creature talked When giants walked 1. Before peculiar was a sin The world was playground for us all And giants were our gentle friends Before we took that tragic fall And light was dripping honey On the mountains and the shore But no one speaks of giants anymore 2. Before peculiar was a sin When honor-bound was something real Before all creatures learned to fear Before we learned to lie and steal The giants danced in circles 'Round the fires we built to share And now we cannot find them anywhere 3. And then peculiar turned to sin And different meant a friendship's death And all the rare and special beasts Stopped in their tracks and held their breath And when the giants saw this There was nothing left to say And that was when the giants went away 4. Yes, when peculiar turned to sin They gathered in their giant hands The different and defenseless fey The strangest creatures in the lands And carried them away Before another day could dawn And still nobody knows where they have gone 5. So now peculiar is a sin And honor is a useless token Different means a life alone And love is better left unspoken Everyone who lives outside The circle that we`ve chalked Would love to go to where the giants walked 6. And if peculiar is a sin Then mark me with a sinners brand And if the gods are kind to me I'll climb into some gentle hand And leave behind a world so blind It cannot see my face And go to where peculiar is a grace
