I like the song "Awaken the Giant" from the 2003 album "Elements Pt. 2" by the Finnish band Stratovarius. It's one of my favorite motivational or inspirational songs. So I decided to look up the lyrics to it on the web. I got plenty of results, most of which included a typographical error, "munst" where I was sure it should be "must." So I decided to listen to the song and compare the actual lyrics to the ones on the web.
Unsurprisingly, I found more errors. Surprisingly, some of them (including "munst") came from the "official" version of the lyrics on the band's own web site!
So I listened to the song a few times and pieced together these
corrected lyrics, which I believe to be closer to the words that are
actually sung than anything else you'll find on the web. Just another
public service. ;)
I'm staring at the wall, sick and tired of all
Manic depression makes me small; it makes me crawl
I need some peace of mind; the pressure makes me blind
The labyrinth of pain, the exit I must find
It's all inside of me, the answers lie within
And all that I can win I take for myself
I'm the one who holds the key to all that I can be
My spirit yearns for truth; it's learning to be free
Through the years, I was doing things the wrong way
But now I've changed, it is time to say
Awaken the Giant; don't let him sleep
Awaken the Giant; look deep within
I won't give up the fight, until I see the light
I won't give in to the gloominess of life
The end is in my sight, in the middle of darkest night
I see my future's bright; I'm reaching for new heights
Through the years, I was doing things the wrong way
But now I've changed, it is time to say
Awaken the Giant; don't let him sleep
Awaken the Giant; look deep within
