The lyrics of Gerard K. Marino's song Colossus of Rhodes are in Greek and require translation for full understanding. The title of the song refers to the ancient Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of the Greek god Helios that stood at the entrance of the island of Rhodes in the 3rd century BC. The first line, "Kolosse sose mas," translates as "Colossus, save us," indicating a desperate plea for help. The following line, "Skotose ton kratos," translates as "Kill the strength," suggesting that the strength being referred to is causing harm or destruction.
The repetition of "Skotose ton kratos" reinforces the urgency and severity of the situation, and the later lines, "Genoktonia" and "Patroktonia," translate as "massacre" and "father-killing," respectively. These lines suggest that the Colossus is being called upon to bring an end to violent conflicts and restore order.
The final lines of the song, "To telos arizhi tora," mean "The end begins now," and "Tora" is translated as "now." These lines suggest that the Colossus is being summoned to bring about a new era, one that marks the end of the conflicts of the past and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity.
