It's a new day in the lands of man Where he came to make a stand "There's a new sheriff in town", he said And so it all begins Pete was just a little giant Born to be great He gave hope and dreams to everyone As he passed through the gate With the bad boys trying to defeat him One at a time He made all of them perish to his feet As he made his glorious climb But his greatest adventure Was yet to come Just let his strong heart pump To the beat of the drum Oh, this fire It fills him with burning desire You can't be deceived by the size of a man Who is able to forge his own masterplan Pete was just a little giant Born to seek the truth Every now and then, you could see his tries To complete his blossom youth But then, one day, he found her And said "She is the one" This little giant girl would be The conquest of his run So he dreamed Every single night With his moment of glory With his endless might Oh, this fire It fills him with burning desire You can't be deceived by the size of a man Who is able to forge his own masterplan It's a new day in the lands of man Where he came to make a stand "There's a new sheriff in town", he said And so it all begins

The ship left the seaport of Lisbon Alone, you, the ropes and the sea And the white tissue soaked in bourbon Left the path that led you to me And the war has built an armour around my tearful heart Don't worry, my princess, don't cry My body is yours again like it was right at the start Together we can take the wheel and take this ship to the sky Johanna, don't suffer anymore Clear your tears to my bourbon tissue Put your hands on my chest and see how light it is It was hell, Johanna, to miss you. And the war has built an armour around my tearful heart Don't worry, my princess, don't cry My body is yours again like it was right at the start Together we can take the wheel and take this ship to the sky And the war has built an armour around my tearful heart Don't worry, my princess, don't cry My body is yours again like it was right at the start Together we can take the wheel and take this ship to the sky

Tartarus 03:54
Hey! Dwarves and giants of stone age Mean and ugly beasts Creatures of our deep Tartarus Tormenting the peace in my eyes Don't step the grass of my yard Don't crush the skulls with your hands Permanent demons hunting decisions Messing with my shame Hey! There's and old and rusty trunk In my grandfather's house Holding tightly the little me's Without even a small gap And I feel stuck like a prisioner In the dungeons of my little castle Praying daily to the Lord To come and take my hand! Seconds of stomach explosion Breeze of cold and nipping ice Feelings of love for the past "You have nothing to fear!" 'Cos life is more than your criminal record You need to learn how to kill the cyclope Running away won't make the difference Embrace the giant in you Drink more champagne Clear the dust of the photo album Laugh and mock with yourself Breath the air of the Dark Valley! Drink more champagne Clear the dust of the photo album Laugh and mock with yourself Breath the air of the Dark Valley!

Reaching the end of the road I still haven't found why she departed It's not like everyone told me, I couldn't solve all the wars I've started. My dear love, my dear friend, Do you remember those days at the park? Every sound was so wonderful and smooth And now I'm just lost in the dark. Bring the light back to me, bring it all over again. Let your sweetest voice cover this incomplete man. I know it was late when I learned to trust. Be pacient, my darling, don't turn me to dust. I've passed through some oceans and mountains Hoping to find you somewhere out there. Even the stumbles and falls of this lonely road Couldn't keep me from seeing your blonde hair. My dear love, my dear friend, Do you remember those days at the lake? Your smile could drive me so speechless. I want you, I am ready to awake! Bring the light back to me, bring it all over again. Let your sweetest voice cover this incomplete man. I know it was late when I learned to trust. Be pacient, my darling, don't turn me to dust. Years have passed since she's been gone, A thousand miles fulfill my feet. I can see the light of the coming dawn! I came too far to just declare defeat! Bring the light back to me, bring it all over again. Let your sweetest voice cover this incomplete man. My faith will tear your Ivory tower down And I will return you that old and rusty crown.

Time To Grow 03:08
I'm jealous of seeing those kids at the street With their bycicle and baloons. Some can't even get up on their feet. Well, I'm leaving this small world soon. An hundred miles I have to run, So many things I've left undone. Turn on the light, please let me in Oh, my glory days were about to begin The future is here, so close to the start I'm already jumping to the hardest part There's a life in front of me As the grown up I wanted do be. It's now that I see, all my sweet dreams are gone. It's time to move on and restart. An uniform I have to use, Suitcase, a nice tie and transport to choose. Turn on the light, please let me in Oh, my glory days were about to begin The future is here, so close to the start I'm already jumping to the hardest part Oh, I know That the time has run. And now I'm here all alone. Oh, I know That the moment is now. It's time to grow.

He told his first story in the park All the bad boys have made him fall apart He spoke about his bravery And he found some comfort there. And who can this man be? He's burning all his memories He found that every single life Is all you want it to be The storyteller With his voice that can't deny The storyteller With a life full of greatness and wine The storyteller Nothing seems more perfect than lie The storyteller Let him do what he does best in life. He sang his last story to the sky The adventures of how he learned to fly He spoke about his greatness And he found some comfort there Because tales aren't about life But your life can be a tale It's all about what men want Except it's very own end If it's one of those times When all the things are wrong He must solve all the crimes To be a part of the song The storyteller He's a nervous little boy The storyteller Only tails can give him joy The storyteller Nothing seems more perfect than lie The storyteller Let him be happy in this life
