Shadow of Intent – Elegy III: Overcome Lyrics

 

Elegy III: Overcome Lyrics by Shadow of Intent

 

Now they crumble the kingdom
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City a smoldering heap
From ancient ages to modern times, these untold atrocities have amassed
Permeating the ground, the soil soaks their blood
Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy persists throughout our violent history
Powers of new blood now play god with maniacal ease
They shall enslave all
Powers unite
Joining to extinguish the fight
Pacifying, undermining
Some survive
Others shall be cast alight, into a burning pit of fire
Immolate, a creed now disintegrates
Never to be seen again
Caged, confined
Opposition brutalized
By an unfamiliar dogma
Petrified, as the wrong now becomes the right
Persecution of a people
Some survive
Others shall be cast alight, into a burning pit of fire
Isolated
Wallowing in the shame
No resurgence
Preparations for the next war begin
This cannot be escaped
The world holds its breath awaiting death
Victorious, now the victor sings
And rewrites the cold facts of history
To present their greatness to their offspring
This process cycles continuously
