Shadow of the Colossus Lyrics

The velvet of the night
is but a kiss on my pale face
For I wandered through the silence for so long

I’m the last one on Earth
They’re so big and I, so small…

I’m in agony
I lost the last one for me
And the Colossi are drawing near
Was life once a gift?
Now, why is it a pain to bear?
I’m fully aware of my redundant status on this world
A world so fragile and so cold

(Chorus)
The first heaven was a lie
The second heaven’s where I died
The third heaven was an illusion for me
Like the fourth and the fifth heaven,
Same void as numbers six and seven
Eighth heaven turned oblivion into a land of light
But it is in the Ninth Heaven where I fight

We are all pillars of reality
Our burden is to hold a world
That was never built for us

Now I roam the land,
From the sea, forest and sand
To conquer the giants
My tormented mind created

(Chorus)

The shadow is cast upon us
Don’t fear, my child,
Young wanderer and wild
Create a world without the need for gods
