Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The mighty have fallen

The memories fading

The legend still lives on

The sound of the giants

The echoes remaining

Will never be forgot

Homage to the legends

'Til the bitter end

Leaving such a legacy, my friends

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

...

The sound of their music

Alive in the cosmos

There's power in the air

The world is on fire

Their energies blazing

They left us all they had

Homage to the legends

'Til the bitter end

Leaving such a legacy, my friends

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

...

If you only knew just how much you mean to me

And how your love still gets me through the day

I'm not alone when you care

Having someone that's always there

Helps me pull through, you always do

You're never far away

...

Homage to the legends

'Til the bitter end

Leaving such a legacy, my friends

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

Giants in the sky

You won't ever die

...
