Among the Tall Ones is a gothic metal story song inspired by the legend of Katherine Wells, a girl said to have been rescued and raised by hidden giants beneath the earth. Sung by LYRA, the track blends mystery, sorrow, ancient knowledge, and conspiracy into a six-minute journey through underground tunnels, motherly giant hands, forgotten science, secret journals, and a lonely woman who never fully belonged to the human world again. It is a song about wonder, isolation, lost civilizations, and the strange sadness of being returned to a life that suddenly feels too small.

Among the Tall Ones she walked
Through ancient tunnels below
Two stories they stood
From the roots to the stone
Hands like weathered oak
Eyes like buried stars
Voices soft as thunder
Bodies built like scars
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Where the old world sleeps
Gentle were their giant hands
With secrets buried deep
Wells was her name
Alone and afraid
A child in dark woods
Left fending for days
They took a great risk
Large motherly heart
To break silence agreed
To blend worlds born apart
Into earthly depths
Warm air and cold stone
Palm-cradled she slept
A new realm, new home
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Through ancient tunnels below
Two stories they stood
From the roots to the stone
Hands like weathered oak
Eyes like buried stars
Voices soft as thunder
Bodies built like scars
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Where the old world sleeps
Gentle were their giant hands
With secrets buried deep
Raised her for keeps
Among them, their own
Shared numbers and stars
Human minds had unknown
She grew with good pace
But compared to them
Five feet tall she stood
To her mother's eighteen
Together for a time, til a choice was decreed
To fade from this earth, a girl behind they'd leave
Full-formed brain and heart, alone she wept
Torn, returned with their gifts and the secrets she kept
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Through ancient tunnels below
Two stories they stood
From the roots to the stone
Hands like weathered oak
Eyes like buried stars
Voices soft as thunder
Bodies built like scars
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Where the old world sleeps
Gentle were their giant hands
With secrets buried deep
In wide open air
The sky was her ceiling
The dwellings too small
Wounds in need of healing
No sense in belonging
Human worries too shallow
Giant gifted gold
Isolation allowing
Struggles, she saw
Problems she knew how to solve
Though their teachings, held deep,
Wells labored to keep
Years were passing, Death was stalking
An old woman dying, a doctor came calling
He took to her side
Deathbed confessions
Unbelieving ears
Journals filled with lessons
Willed pages held proof
Locations held more
Equations and physics
Not of this world
His life's work he forsake
A new mission embarked
Decades researched
Secrets unlocked
Death came for the doctor,
But so did the men
In dark suits, darker deeds
The journals they seized
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Through ancient tunnels below
Two stories they stood
From the roots to the stone
Hands like weathered oak
Eyes like buried stars
Voices soft as thunder
Bodies built like scars
Among the Tall Ones she walked
Where the old world sleeps
Gentle were their giant hands
With secrets buried deep
In an overgrown cemetery
A faded stone tells
"She who walked among the tall ones"
A woman named Wells
