[Intro]
The human soul can be found within a single cell. It's like how the essence of a painting can be seen in a single brushstroke. Our drive to force our will upon the world is in shackles as no thought is truly free. Freedom can only exist in a state of chaos, chaos breeds in pits of conflict, searching for slaves under the whip of infallibility, we enter this room. Within these walls, a child that never was is taken, as faceless beings reimagine the future. The birth of a giant with a frozen heart
Colossus
Arise
[Verse 1]

[Pre-Chorus]
Ask me for your name, my friend

I don't understand it
[Chorus]
Colossus
Colossus, arise
[Guitar Solo]

Of electric mountains
[Pre-Chorus]
Ask me for your name, my friend
Tell me what I feel like to you
Is it coming to an end?
I don't understand it
[Chorus]
Colossus
Colossus, arise
Colossus
Arise
