Heart of the Colossus
Epic pop-rock anthem with cinematic strings, huge toms, and distorted power chords. Male vocals start almost spoken over a pulsing synth bed, then soar into a stadium-sized chorus with stacked gang shouts and octave harmonies. Bridge drops to a single piano and vocal before exploding into a final, towering refrain, crash cymbals and wide guitars filling the spectrum., strong, world

Lyrics
Intro
Big sky
Thin air
Both hands
Right there
Verse 1
Boots on the cliff edge
Wind howling
"turn back"
Every old fear in my backpack
Heavy as stone
Still I lean into the sunrise
Chapped lips
Dry laugh
"If this is the top
I want the whole crash"
Make it my own
Chorus
I got a heart of the colossus
Thunder in my ribs when I breathe
Every scar on my skin sings
"watch this"
I was made
I was made
To shake the ground beneath my feet
Raise my hands like a fortress
Let the world come crashing on me
I got a heart of the colossus
Ain't a mountain that can carry me
Verse 2
Dust in my teeth now
Gold in my lungs
All of my failures on my tongue
Bitter and bright
Every "too loud"
Every "too much"
Fuel for the run
Tell every shadow that I'm not done
I came for the fight
Chorus
Bridge
low vocal register
If I break
Then I break like a star
Light spilling out
Over every scar
If I fall
I fall through the dark
Till the ground
Learns my name
Learns my heart
crescendo
Sing it back to me
(oh, oh, oh)
Sing it back to me
(oh, oh, oh)
I'm not small
I'm not harmless
I'm the storm
I'm the promise
Chorus
