The first track off of “Koloss”, Jens Kidman delivers a deep, throaty vocal performance while dark guitar riffs roam in the background. A ghastly guitar solo finishes the track with more haunting vocals from Kidman, making for an impressive first track. The lyrics to this song describe god and relig...
I'm the great Leviathan, insatiable colossus
Titanic engulfer of lives, I reward you, absorb you
I'm the monstrous mouth that hungers for your awe
Immense construction of lies, I own you, disown you
I am life, I'm death
You empower me
I'm a mammoth king evoked, conjured by your dreams
Summoned by your fears, you need me, you feed me
I'm the imposing giant, infallible dictator
My rules apply to all, you'll heed me, bleed for me
I am life, I'm death, I decide your fate
You empower me, you'd even kill for me
Guzzling down your dreams, the tears of unheard pleas I drink
Imbibe with such delight the fear that floods your temporal shell
Raging red rivers and streams, the kingdom of my shadow
Where dread of man in endless night revives my every cell
To those who doubt, your wounds will never heal
To those who question my creation, I'm not real
I am pain, I am grief, I'm the things you fear
I'm the lie whispered into your ear
I'm the great Leviathan, I'm dominance and greed
You imagined me, so I was conceived
I am life, I'm death, you belong to me
Call me what I am, I am colossus
