Borknagar - Colossus
From out of static time has grown
Existence formed by substance unknown
Prelude to matter shift or dissorder
Completion of bonds between chaos and order
The era of seasons, the essence of being
The continous process awakens the living
Absorber of every flickering sun
Arranging the pieces to vivid perfection
The stream of mortality flows uncontrolled
A boundless downward spiral to prospective void
Existence takes its toll, extinction unfolds
The Colossus falls back from its threshold
The Cosmic grip so tight. Heed the celestial call
The rise, the voyage, the fall - tangled womb of mortal soil
Universal key of inception, pulled out of the grind
The growing seed of creation and time
Complex fusion, the bond of four - the nature's core
Universal ritual, aesthetic beauty adored
The pendulum upholds the carnal deceit
Eternal, endless, indefinite
The paradox render and the merge is complete
Nothing but the process is infinite
Nothing but the process is infinite
Eternal, endless, indefinite

I see this video once, never knew for years, until this very moment, it was Vortex (ex-Dimmu Borgir bassist/singer) singing and playing in this band during this time. Also, could never find out who they were until UA-cam posted this video. Wow...memories!

[@Pyoti]

Yessssssss! The masterpiece Colossus shall continue to stand the test of time!

Borknagar...Quintessence 2000...today is difficult to find in cd this MASTERPIECE TERRIBLY AND DEEPLY SCANDINAVIAN....

[@InstrumentalArcanum]

It's insane in the lyrical vocals . So much memory on top of that playing bass. Vortex is awesome !

[@darwinism18]

If we humans don't know or care for a masterpiece like this one, we fully deserve coronavirus and global warming.
Dear Borknagar, thank you for this gem that I've listened through times.

[@elarquitectogamer8367]

"the song for the end of times!...sounds too epic

[@carlavieira23]

I love you guys! FOREVER! I will never forget when you were here in Brazil and we took some photos together. * - *

Another reason to believe in the power of music

[@SupernaturalDarkness]

I agree w all the others who said this is a masterpiece! Life is tough man, music like this helps you get through it! ICS really crushed it on this one

[@letsgobrenda]

Loved this song for so long. Many years loving a song ( among others)

[@nawitchful]

This song is raping my mind (in a good way)

[@Havok16]

This song will always stand out for me, it's just a masterpiece in every essence. Perfect to stick on as well when taking down a Colossi in 'Shadow of the Colossus' ;)

[@ermanyalcn2681]

Every time I listen to this song, I feel a MARVEL HERO..:-)

[@andrecisternasvictoriano]

So much nostalgia listening to this in the early 2000, I was just a teenager.

[@PawnSacrific3]

I think this video for the song is more fitting to the lyrics: Borknagar - Colossus (with lyrics)

[@berkanathoresen]

This song is flat out beautiful! And the Drums are insane.

Nádhera. Dobře oni,oč dobře oni 🔥 pozdravy z 🇨🇿

[@caprise-music6722]

I think this album deserves a remaster. I mean come on. I remember listening to a local Norwegian radio channel and a metal music show called Metal Daze in the early 2000’s, and there was interview with Borknagar. They said they weren’t happy with the sound at all.
Now 20 years later, come on this album needs a remaster

[@lorenzofascio6380]

Guys it's a masterpiece. Listening it gives me goosebumps.
