The years in prison were not kind to Goliath

He grew smaller and weaker while David grew strong

His castles kicked over; his crop destroyed before him

It weighed heavy on Goliath how it had all gone so wrong

 

So, he stood and he shouted at the ranks of Israel

Spoke of the river and the sea, words laden with dread

David called for his sling and selected five stones

He’d settle for no less now than Goliath’s head

 

He turned out the lights in Goliath’s prison

Gave notice of Goliath’s imminent death

Cut off supplies of food, fuel and water

David crossed the line and the world held its breath
