The Village in the Giant’s Shadow

Our village sits in a giant’s shadow
Although no giant is there
We see the shadow eat our children
And shit out empty air

We hired a giant killer,
His sword silver and bright
But the fool decided to wait
Until the darkest night.

When we woke the next day
The shadow was still there
The giant killer had been eaten too
And flung into the air

Another giant killer came,
His mind cunning and bright.
He laid a trap for daytime,
He would not go at night.

We watched him the next morning,
His bow and arrow were there
The giant’s hand picked him up
And crushed him in the air.

The king brought his armies,
His military clean and bright
He destroyed our village
And camped there overnight

When we woke the next day,
No soldier was alive there
The giant had killed the army
And left only empty air.

Our village sits in a giant’s shadow
Although no giant is there
But we remember he protected us
And smile to the empty air
