Verse 1
Sultan looks south across the scorched sand
Mountains standing guard
Walls built deep below the hard soil
Ancient empire dreams never die
NATO is a mask he wears to hide the fire
Six hundred pound silverback stalking the coast
Trump playing chess with jet engines and broken promises
A trillion dollars worth of fear in a fighter pilot helmet
Pre-Chorus
Look at the map
Feel the heat
Wait for the tide to turn
Chorus
He's the giant in the room
Moving quiet like a ghost of old kings
Anatolian thunder rolling through the valley
Greater than the old threats
Deeper than the sea
He's the six hundred pound gorilla
Looking for a seat at the table
Watching everything fall apart
Watching everything fall apart
Verse 2
Fortress Iran sits behind a wall of granite
Bases made of paper
Soldiers in a valley they don't belong in anymore
Billionaire donors pull the strings on the policy
We should leave
We must leave
We will leave
Don't think the border stops at the water
Pre-Chorus
Look at the map
Feel the heat
Wait for the tide to turn
Chorus
He's the giant in the room
Moving quiet like a ghost of old kings
Anatolian thunder rolling through the valley
Greater than the old threats
Deeper than the sea
He's the six hundred pound gorilla
Looking for a seat at the table
Watching everything fall apart
Watching everything fall apart
Bridge
They wanted Lebanon
They wanted him to fight their wars
But the silverback takes the gift and keeps his own path
Power shift
Paradigm tilt
Empire ghost rising in the north
Chorus
He's the giant in the room
Moving quiet like a ghost of old kings
Anatolian thunder rolling through the valley
Greater than the old threats
Deeper than the sea
He's the six hundred pound gorilla
Looking for a seat at the table
Watching everything fall apart
Watching everything fall apart
