I am the Last of the Giants


"Ooooh, I am the last of the giants,
my people are gone from the earth.
The last of the great mountain giants,
who ruled all the world at my birth.

Oh, the smallfolk have stolen my forests,
they have stolen my rivers and hills.
And they have built a great wall through my valleys,
and fished all the fish from my rills.

In stone halls they burn their great fires,
in stone halls they forge their sharp spears.
Whilst I walk alone in the mountains,
with not true companion but tears.
They hunt me with dogs in the daylight,
they hunt me with torches by night.
For these me who are small can never stand tall,
whilst giants still walk in the light.

Ooooh, I am the last of the giants,
so learn well the words of my song.
For when I am gone the singing will fade,
and the silence shall last long and long."

The Last of the Giants, as sung by the Wildlings in A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
