shadow of the colossus

i

wander

i wander

i

wander

i wander

i wander lost alone

far from home

you've got so far to roam

how can you go back

when you don't know where you started?

no

crumbling rocks and stones

crush your bones

the hardest blow

is not the conflict

but the conflicted quandary

your heart is loaded with

pulling you apart from within

nothing can grow in the garden of sin

and hidden in you hand

is a key to the forbidden land

you've been here before

but feel like starting again

this is a rebirth

a regeneration

a throwback

the tail of the lizard

stronger when it grows back

so

slice your sword through the light

hold it aloft

cut a hole through the sky

the shadow of the colossus

i

wander

i wander

i

wander

the shadow of the colossus

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

see nature reclaiming the ancient sacred shrines

making time and space entwined

changing up the pacing of your frame of mind

can't hide from fate

i'm facing mine

want to fight me?

wait in line

i'm taking my bow and aiming high

feather and cane decorating the sky

whatever problem personally pursues you

posed on any scale

perserverence

plus persistence

persistently prevail

it's a tale as old

as the mountain and peninsula

your impediments will harden

as long as they're kept insular

that's why it's vital

that you fight for every inch

of the particular predicament

that's pricking

digging in your rib

and prickling you skin

ripping you apart from within

nothing can flourish in the garden of sin

and hidden in you hand

is the key to the forbidden land

you've been here before

but feel like starting again

this is a rebirth

a regeneration

a throwback

the tail of the lizard

stronger when it grows back

so

slice your sword through the light

hold it aloft

cut a hole through the sky

the shadow of the colossus

i

wander

i wander

i

wander

the shadow of the colossus

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

get off my back

the mightiest axe

is to a leviathan but tiny daggers

but it's not the size that matters

it's striking fast

with the right attack

as you find that light on the titan's back

and drive in the knife 'til it staggers

the night is alive with the sound

of the lightning pounding the ground

as the giant crashes

lying dormant

the lying dormin

light and dark

eye and horn

in dying dawn

now i am mourning

for the higher form

i thought was a guiding light

through the dire door

to the trial hall

of my final calling

all to find that i have fallen

waterfall dweller

i'm a sort a door-to-door seller

port of call: fellows that are forty four foot tall

hello

i brought a sword

for the inevitable awesome brawl

hella enormous proportions

result in the portions of gore

that'd cause a pool

that could hold a whole portuguese man o' war

without folding its knees

or whatever those damn dangly organs are called

stinging

wringing you apart from within

salting the earth

halting rebirth of the garden of sin

and hidden in your hand

is a key to the forbidden land

you've been here before

but feel like starting again

this is a rebirth

a regeneration

a throwback

the tail of the lizard

stronger when it grows back

so

slice your sword through the light

hold it aloft

cut a hole through the sky

the shadow of the colossus

i

wander

i wander

i

wander

the shadow of the colossus
