The Giant and the Shepherd
(Menario-Capelli)
from the album "The Age of the Return"

Who says you can always pick your path
Has never been on a battle field
Sometimes there isn't a real choice
If you are David or Goliath
Isn't up to you.

Time passes by and leaves just sand
Fading memories of men and lives
Heroes out of the shadows of time
Tiny men shaking like autumn leaves.

So may happen that a shepherd
Talks too much and falls in trouble
Marks the story
Kills a giant,
Find his glory!

A man in a shining armor,
A giant spreading fear!
Soldiers running, shame on Israel!

But a young shepherd defends his flock.
Hunter of lions and wolves,
Isn't a giant just another man?

Doesn't he wear a blade?
Doesn't he fear his arm?
Oh, David is young!

Doesn't he wear a blade?
Doesn't he fear his arm?
Oh, David is brave!

Eyes of a giant cannot see
Pride pays a fee
David is smart, David is fast
Heavy is the sword
Quick is the dart

Silence around
Goliath stands
Slowly he moves
Then closes his eyes

Eyes of a giant cannot see
Pride pays a fee
David is smart, David is fast
Heavy is the sword
Quick is the dart

Now lies the warrior on his knees
And none believes
Now lies the giant on his fours
Soldiers cannot breath.

One in the sand in his own blood
One in the air
Raises the envy of a king,
A new story begins .
