Lyrics Colossus - The Green River Burial

Colossus

beaten and lost your sight from the past
and the image of what became humanity
what happened to humanity
life past and left a broken road
the sky is lost over the rising homes
where death has survived
what happened to the world in the 21st century
i can see for miles a wasteland
the broken will of men is lost along the way
and stretched beyond the horizon
far from grace the sun will set
and after all you put it through
there is no turning back
beaten and lost your sight from the past
the sun never dims
and after all you put it through
there is no turning back
as time has become your son
you realize they’re dead
time and time again
you see a wave fall down through life
to make things right on yourself
all that you need is the image of hope
condemned all that you need to bring your whole life
it’s wasted hold it beyond inside me
as time begins to compress your life
you’ll anticipate no fortune in life
and you will pick it up and your teeming shores
won’t be afraid your whole life your whole mind condemned
as time begins to compress your life
nothing lasts forever to be the sun won’t dim
