Colossus Songtext
von Nisa

I heard they found you in bedrock
Your head still intact
Recoiling back
Couldn′t believe it
So I flew to Georgia
With my mind in ruins
To dig in between the cracks

They carved you from marble
So we can tell stories
Scapegoats and martyrs get all of the glory
They might soon forget you
Remembrance is fleeting
When you're just a statue
What′s keeping you alive?


Even your silhouette
A faultless cast
Captures the feeling
Of an imminent past
Even the sun sets
One day the last
Went searching for meaning
And faded to black

Ashes to ashes
Lets bury the hatchet
If this all come crashing
I won't be dead in the trenches
Footsteps in sand pits
Gallows that practice discernment
I beg you, Colossus
Don't show me the way to be worshipped
I don′t deserve the reverence

I missed the unveiling
I guess I can make believe
I′m not disappointed
Things aren't what they seemed
They want to display you
Inside the Smithsonian
Your friends all beneath you
Fade into oblivion


Even your silhouette
A faultless cast
Captures the feeling
Of an imminent past
Even the sun sets
One day the last
Went searching for meaning
And faded to black

Ashes to ashes
Let′s bury the hatchet
If this all come crashing
I won't be dead in the trenches
Footsteps in sand pits
Gallows that practice discernment
I beg you, Colossus
Don′t show me the way to be worshipped
I don't deserve the reverence
