Colossus
Arcane Existence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holds treacherous secrets and clouded judgements
Thousands of rooms are absent of light
The night brings false spirits from the unknown
Ghostly voices whisper of secrets past
Shadows from the corner of my eyes
The quest for the truth of it all
Follow me into this spiral abyssUphold the dancing flames
Frozen in place by the King's name
Cold as ice, castle walls speak in bliss
Cold as ice, castle walls speak in bliss
Enter at your own fleeting risk
Mighty reward forges great risk
Enter at your own fleeting risk
The King's name unknown by the common dweller
Perhaps you shall find it in ink, to be found never
Glowing in the purple shades of lavender
Thousands of glowing windows from ages past
All dying light, time to fight
Upon the open door of the castle corridors
Holds treacherous secrets and clouded judgements
Thousands of rooms are absent of light
The night brings false spirits from the unknown
The bridge rattles beneath the castles shadow
Peaks through the crevices of depths below
Enter the castle and fear will extol
Lavish doors of ages torture my soul
Bookshelves lined with decaying stories
Misty thoughts filled with truth and horror
Your fingers trembling over the elegant script
Mumbling the words, so foreign yet frightening
Afferte aeterna
Bring the eternal night
Looming shadows lurk in corridors
Holding the key to the castle's glow
Where will they end? Where will they lead me?

Glowing in the purple shades of lavender
Radiating a soft, ethereal lavender hue
Thousands of glowing windows from ages past
Numerous illuminated apertures from bygone eras
All dying light, time to fight
Fading illumination signals a need for struggle
The bridge rattles beneath the castle's shadow

Your fingers trembling over the elegant script
Your hands shake as you touch the refined writing
Mumbling the words, so foreign yet frightening
Whispering unfamiliar yet chilling phrases
Afferte aeterna
Bring eternity forth
Remnants of blood and tears and horror
Traces of violence, sorrow, and dread
Looming shadows lurk in corridors
Dark silhouettes haunt the hallways
Holding the key to the castle's glow
Possessing the secret to the fortress's radiance
Where will they end? Where will they lead me?
What will be the ultimate destination of these paths?
