On the Shoulders of Giants
Damh the Bard

Verse 1

Ancient stone, shadows of firelight, conspire to conceal,

This was my home, a shelter from the night, now every brush reveals,

How I ran with the wild, I ran with my brothers, with arrow and with spear,

I leave you this gift, of 10,000 years.


Verse 2

Romans came, a mighty army, to the shores of Ynys Mon,

I’ve heard it said, I’ve heard the story, the Druids have all gone.

But what stays in our hearts, remains in our memory, with story and with song,

And they have been here, all along.


Chorus

The Ancients opened the door,

We’re the same as ever before,


We will hear you forevermore,

Evermore.

So by peace and love we stand,

Heart to heart and hand in hand,

On the shoulders of giants we stand.


Verse 3

Is the path lost, is it broken, fallen from our hands,

Like shards of glass, worn by the ocean, into grains of sand.

But they’re raised by the wind, and scattered like ashes, all across the land,

And we won’t forget, we understand.
