Colossus

(album: Wallflowers - 2021)

Am I the colossus
Right before his fall
Stripped of all my forces
Losing the control?
Am I the colossus
Or just acting the same role?

Oh, how much longer
Will they keep on stabbing me?
The hate mongers
Rose above and made their plea

Show your faces!
Let me see the grimaces!
Vile betrayers
Self proclaimed false witnesses

Here I am now
On my thin feet made of clay
Should I fall down?
You will be my final prey

Show your faces!
Let me see the grimaces!
Vile betrayers
Self proclaimed false witnesses

As my carcass falls
It will smash down everyone
And the tribe will howl
Yes, your tribe will be all gone

When my blood flows
Down the rivers to the seas
When my torn limbs decompose
The scattered bones will grow as seeds

A giant tree shall rise up high
Spreading its branches to all sides
Covering the sun and sky
Silencing your desperate cry

Show your faces
Let me see the grimaces
Vile betrayers
Self proclaimed false witnesses

Show your faces!
I will peel all skin from them!
So your eye balls
Stare at me full of condemn
