Lyric

The princess and the giant, at the end of an age 
The giant was gentle while the princess would rage 
The fairytale ended when they both went away 
There were tears in my eyes at the end of an age 

The pale one, Her Majesty, was all fuss and fight 
The moment that I saw her, it was love at first sight 
Her wild grace allowed me but to just set her stage 
I served her with honor to the end of an age 

Never would she bow, if you ever thought she'd break 
The fire in her eyes would correct your mistake 

The giant had been beaten but the giant was wise 
You could see it in the caution behind the kindness in his eyes 
To the princess's demands, he'd seen far harder days 
And he took his place beside her to the end of an age 

She sneered and she scorned him, she kicked him around 
The giant kept his distance but the giant stood his ground 

The princess turned her nose up when she went out for a ride 
She'd pretend she didn't notice the giant never left her side 
Leading through the dust beyond the old iron gate 
Their footprints left a path to the end of an age 

Her mighty kingdom fell and her devoted subjects too 
When she left them for another to conquer anew 
The years that she reigned feel just like the morning of a day 
But the sun still sets at the end of an age 

A fool might believe she'd be a kingless queen 
And a fool would be sorry if he got in between 
The two will never marry but they'll never disengage 
The princess and the giant to the end of an age
