Last Words Of A Giant Lyrics

When he was an up and coming star

No one mentioned the way things were

They could only stop and marvel

At his so-called genius

Everything seemed so swell

But really all was not well

The empire within is crumbling

And the one outside was to follow

The last words of a giant

How he'd be remembered

The last words of a giant

Before he fell silent

When the lights began to grow dim

And the curtains were drawn on him

Fame and glory was just a dream

From which he'd suddenly woken up

When he lost that lucky spark

And everything went dark

There were no friends left to greet him

At airport or train station

The last words of a giant

How he'd be remembered

The last words of a giant

Before he fell silent

See, the world gave up on him,

But he never quite gave up on the world

The world gave up on him,

But he never quite gave up on the world

The world gave up on him,

But he never quite gave up on the world

You see, the world gave up on him,

(Yeah Yeah Yeah)

But he never quite gave up on the world

And even now, when he's six feet underground

Traces of him can still be found

In the hearts and minds of the people

When they stop and think back a little

The impact of a man like him

May never be seen again

But we can only wait and see

What might happen eventually

The last words of a giant

How he'd be remembered

The last words of a giant

Before he fell silent

The last words of a giant

How he'd be remembered

The last words of a giant

Before he fell silent
