The Colossus Lyrics by Boustrophedon

The Colossus

2023

[Verse 1]
Is she green with envy
Emerald with greed?
At the crack of a supernova
Does she really bleed?
And do droves of her loyal masses
Feel they are freed?
What do they really need?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've got to think of how you're free
Or a way to be free
(Oh, now what do we do?)
Just a flash in the pan
Built on the shoulders of man
(Oh, now what do we do?)
Shake the hand that feeds
At the table
(Oh, now what do we do?)
But it's the thrill of a zero sum
Dumb roll, rolling on
(Oh, now what do we do?)
[Chorus 1]
More firepower baby
More fuel to the fire
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
We've got a long linе of people to feed
What do you say?
(Oh, I need a memory no morе)
And who's really the sick sick man
Walking sinking shores?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
More firepower baby
What do you say?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
[Bridge]
Land of the exiles
Oh, now land of the free
[Verse 2]
Is she green with growth
Did we take heed?
At the cry of a turtle dove
Does she bleed?
And do droves of her loyal masses
Feel they are free?
What do they really need?
What do they really-
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You've got to think of how you're free
Or a way to be free
(Oh, now what do we do?)
Just a flash in the pan
Built on the shoulders of man
(Oh, now what do we do?)
Shake the hand that feeds
At the table
(Oh, now what do we do?)
But it's the thrill of inorganic matter
That keeps us vallied in a smile
(Oh, now what do we do?)
[Chorus 2]
More firepower baby
More fuel to the fire
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
We've got a long line of people to feed
What do you say?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
And who's really the medicine man
Walking waves of grain?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
Oh here it comes again
[Outro]
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
Oh here it comes again
More firepower baby
More fuel to the fire
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
We've got a long line of people to feed
What do you say?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
And who's really the medicine man
Walking waves of grain?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
Oh here it comes again
More firepower baby
More fuel to the fire
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
We've got a long line of people to feed
What do you say?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
And who's really the medicine man
Walking waves of grain?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
Oh here it comes again
(Oh!)
Oh here it comes again
More firepower baby
More fuel to the fire
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
We've got a long line of people to feed
What do you say?
(Oh, I need a memory no more)
And who's really the medicine man
Walking waves of grain?
