Micolus the Colossus

Father

Oh father
Dear father
A soothing sanctuary
Of steel
And force
In your strength we wallow
In your shadow we hide

Father
A watching eye
An open mind
Worshipped
For your negligence
Praised
For your ignorance
Oh father
In your shadow we trust

Tell the world
Father
Tell the world
Of your mistakes
Of your regrets
And father...
Teach us what road to take
What paths to turn
And our untaught ears
Shall drink from your wisdom

Yet you do not realise
Father
That everything you preach
Was preached to you
By the very past
You try avoid once more
In us

Father
Tell us your dreams
And we shall fall deeper
Than you ever did
For in time
The story of your past
Shall be retold
Over and over again
