Shadow of the Colossus Rap Song
[Intro]
I wander...
I wander...
I wander...
I wander

[Verse 1]
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 a 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 your hand is a key to the forbidden land
You've been here before, but feel like starting again

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Get off my back, get off my back
Get off my back, get off my back

[Verse 2]
See nature reclaiming the ancient sacred shrines
Making time and space entwided
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 previal
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 pricling your skin
Ripping you appart from within
Nothing can flourish in 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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 'till it staggers
The night is alive with the sound
Of the lightning pouding the ground as the giant crashes
Lying dormant, the lying dormant
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 portions of gore, that'd cause a pool
That could hold a whole portuguese man o' war
Without folding it's 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

[Chorus]
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
