COLOSSUS LYRICS

1. Parasite

I’m a tenant in my own body
I’m a parasite in this hollow shell

Harvest my body
Pick my bones clean
Tap my vital juices
Extract my energy

I’ve given up – control of my own life
I’ve sold away – the right to self decide
The perfect machine – should have no thought
A fitting cog – should not be conscious
I’ve given you all
But now I want it back

You broke my body
You dried my bones up
You diluted my juices
You perverted my energy

2. The Gnawing

Out here in the wastelands of the outer rims the air is thick
A heavy stench of rotting metals and industrial waste is wavering
Licking at your skin, infecting your sight, clouding your mind
This is where you’ll die
This is the dead world of the gnawing

The Gnawing

Stay out of the shadows avoid the dimming light and hold your breath
Keep your head down and avoid the fumes or you’ll be spotted
A lumbering presence slowly gaining pace, biding its time
This is where you’ll find
You are in the clutches of the gnawing

The Gnawing

Engrossed by fog, standing face to face
With an untamed force of nature
His features reflected in mine
And in those traits I see – I see myself

Where he goes – I must follow
I’ll follow you
What he knows – I must know
I know you

3. Eternal Return

First I heard it, like the muffled whispers
of a thousand insect wings caressing your insides
Then it grew, gaining moment
umtil it howled with a seismic roar

My mind gleamed, my body shivered
as the echoes of my experience settled down
I was drenched in light, engulfed by darkness
My outlook shook as the walls came tumbling down

The light came back, the smoke cleared
As I found myself breathing again
My body weak, my mind clear
I’ve climbed back and I live once again

The eternal recurrence
The eternal return
