Behold The Colossus Lyrics
Drive us by pitchfork to caves by the sea
Atop the mountain, under cities
We are monsters
We are older than men
Yes, we are Gorgons
And we will have our revenge
Frighten their children by speaking our name
Epoch and eon, it's always the same
We are monsters
But we will no longer run
We are the cyclops
And our time has come
This world was ours before it had ever known men
Soon it will be ours again
Grant them their tales of their forefather's glory
For soon it will be ours again
Atop the buttress the gargoyle sits
The fragile foundation crumbles to bits
We are monsters and they are but men
Behold the Colossus rises again!
Atop the mountain, under cities
We are monsters
We are older than men
Yes, we are Gorgons
And we will have our revenge
Epoch and eon, it's always the same
We are monsters
But we will no longer run
We are the cyclops
And our time has come
Soon it will be ours again
Grant them their tales of their forefather's glory
For soon it will be ours again
The fragile foundation crumbles to bits
We are monsters and they are but men
Behold the Colossus rises again!

From the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, myths describe giants as forebears of the gods who begat humanity. Many were slain in conflicts with the gods and others slain by heroic men, but some remain and some, like Jorgmungandr, are destined to return.
I don't see any suggestion of what these titans may be a metaphor for, so I suppose it's what it appears; spinning a terrific and terrifying yarn about the monsters of legend returning to crush us.
