Colossus Lyrics

Colossus
Arise

In the image of man
We breed our demons
On the wide wings of science
Our abomination of a child flies

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

Colossus
Colossus, arise

In old bones in the soil
We plant a garden
We are harvesting progress
The glow of a worm inside a child's eye

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

Colossus
Colossus, arise

Make your way up to the top
Of electric mountains

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

Colossus
Colossus, arise
Colossus
Arise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Vocalist Johannes Eckerstrom points to the song "Colossus" as a track that is taking a darker view on our future and the reliance on technology to eventually be a salvation for us moving forward as a society.
