Colossus - The Green River Burial

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
