lyrics

Let the vermin flee or stand their ground. It matters not, for he shall fetter out the coward corners of the hardened hearts. The horizon undulates under his feet, so steadily traversing ever-forward. With no reverence nor concept of life's sanctity, the colossus revived heeds no man's cries. As though a mountainside had come to life, this hulking monster towers over all— renders obsolete the strategized and frenzied fight alike. Futile resistance to his demigod might.
Pray for haste.
Come challenge, come warring tribe. He shall preside. Decimation— the end of your foolishness. Bearing down, the weight of brass and iron have erased and snuffed out all speech of what transpired here. The crushing blows have left behind a hush that knows no end, lest their grief bring light back to his eyes. What wailing and gnashing of teeth must these barren widows bury down with man and child beneath? The heavy burden levied on their hearts— no easy peace... until the reticence and bloody memories recede, when the ruthless among men come to summon the colossus again.
