Lyrics to Elegy [Full Album 2022] by Shadow Of Intent

Tracklist: 01. Farewell Farewell The time has come The world shall bleed and into inferno we'll go I must fight, die if I must Into inferno we go It won't rest 'til the grounds have no room left All goddamned legions are condemned to their god I beg for your forgiveness For we've found ourselves wandering hell Yet my love for you burns forevermore I will climb from this widening chasm to my feet I shall bring defeat Beneath my feet I trampled all in my path I bow not to the Saurian King But if I do not return The fight may take a perilous turn The day may never come where I shall come home For I'll gladly give my own life, if it means you will survive What choice do I have? To fight or die, no way out alive The cowards are left shot in both sides You'll find me in the afterlife Live out your days with grief out of sight I am sorry that you'll never find my body to say your goodbyes 02. Saurian King This is where it began Before the coming of war With long knives they carve the night Awaiting in anticipation to long persist the coming abyss A savage conflict is unfurling Condemning of faith, condemning with hate and death Violent expulsions, claiming the lands as their own A cataclysmic and misanthropic catalyst shall further enrage Demands for our deaths Several long nights of terror The cleansing begins This is the new beginning of our living hell The coming was foretold, warnings went unheeded We all sat by and stare as the stampeded proceeded Conquer all Drudges invading the denizens Laughing and dancing while bidding the devil's work Martyrs lie in the streets on this night So you may live, they give their selfless death But the madness does not end yet Scales project From beneath his ophidian skin Misanthropic You were never supposed to be king But the madness does not end yet my friend This isn't the end Pissing right on our graves Razing, dragging our names through the dirt The worst has yet to come The blame for their failures falls on us We pay for this with the conflagration of 1000 shrines Obey you not You deceive your own Others blinded by your lies I see through them all 03. The Coming Fire The coming fire! Ignited in an instant A purging flame,the swarm engulfs With a lust for war increasing in their appetite Crossing the insects' blood At the pace of lightning propaganda Fuels the massacre, granting who oppose, abysmal death They gather at dawn They march through the vast verdant steppes Leaving naught but ruin behind Their forefathers' words keep them present Absorbed with mephitic pride Burn for your leaders Mourn for your futures Burn for your leaders Yearn for a savior Burn for your leaders Mourn, everlasting mourning for... The boundless sacrifice We honor those who died We do not know the price paid by those who were left behind This tragedy consumes so m any wasted lives Those to the left and right know all too well In a series of failed counteroffensives along the front Encircled in a labyrinth of enemies To die abysmal death 04. Of Fury Starving beasts of misanthropy Tear their souls from reality They terrorize, sodomize Then torch all that's left of their miserable lives Reprise They are swiftly swept aside Reflections of blood On fresh front lines Millions of men forged in the fiery depths of hell Begin to purge the lands Ad nauseam, they seize their prize Demanding that hundreds of thousands more must die The jaws of hell have opened wide Bombs, bone fragments fall from the sky The jaws of hell have opened wide Bombs, bone fragments fall from the sky Panoramic fire lights up the sky Sounds of horrors recoil from hillsides Petrified, spat out on the lines A mass grave sentence, you're begging to die Starving beasts of misanthropy Tear their souls from reality They terrorize, sodomize Then torch all that's left of their miserable lives The horrors seen here cannot be erased from the minds of men They seek to rid them of their existence and reform For defenders, to fail would mean they disappear A choice leaves the weight of this force to be dismembered The combat seems to be everlasting They all met death Barbarous obliteration of them all Perfidious bandits execute survivors These men are but slaves Slaves to the devil himself The jaws of hell have opened wide Bombs, bone fragments fall from the sky The jaws of hell have opened wide Bombs, bone fragments fall from the sky Suffer the wrath and the consequences 05. Intensified Genocide The schism has succumbed to militant decadence Boundaries perverted, the populous ravenous Their rights have been compromised Forced into battle to keep what they own Plotting the new reign, the parliament ponders Seizing the motherland after disbandment Caught in between these brutal objectives Resorting to violence they're eaten alive Death This civil division has far surpassed humility Defiling the dissident, their lack is evident They have completely descended to murder Children play day and night with severed heads Inhuman execution Slashing of throats Mass despoliations Death in vain Frenzied grabbing for the closest weapon Kill or be killed becomes the new way Keep plunging down the rabbit hole Resolution through cruelty Internal strife Newborns have been torn away from wailing mothers The future of a nation mutilated, smothered Displayed as a warning Bodies left uncovered And to this day, it can be seen Unreconciled divide This dark path was placed by politician hands Residents now fear the once coveted moonlight Luscious sculpture, whose glory once had gushed Supplanted by such beauty and disgust Species of savages Persistent penitence Evident lack of a shred of humanity Macabre obsession Removal of men keeps on fueling the passion Stalking the rooftops they gaze down with penance They'll be the ones who take care of the menace Harder and harder, these two sides collide Intensified genocide Eaten alive Civil division has far surpassed humility Their lack is evident as they defile the dissident They have completely descended to murder Children play day and night with severed heads Inhuman executions Slashing of throats Mass despoliations Death in vain Frenzied grabbing for the closest weapon Kill or be killed becomes the new way Keep plunging down the rabbit hole They've beaten this dead horse to mush They cannot stop these ferocious urges They plunge the knife deeper into the throat of democracy Slowly carving the head from the neck This dark path was placed by politician hands Residents now fear the once coveted moonlight Luscious sculpture, whose glory once had gushed Supplanted by such beauty and disgust Shrouded foulness, the soul inside observed Shrieks of anguish Cremation will be served Bathe in the blood The blade unjust lost control Into the furnace, into the hole The blade unjust lost control Into the furnace, into the hole The blade unjust lost control Into the furnace, into the hole The blade unjust lost control Into the furnace, into the hole They, they bathe in the blood They, they bathe in the blood The blade unjust lost control Into the furnace, into the hole The blade unjust lost control Into the furnace, into the hole 06. Life Of Exile Again, they've come to tear down our ideals With prestigious grins staring down at us Dispelled from the region only to return thirty cycles past These wounds recur Is this the day I die? Forced away, driven into these holes We leave behind our memories of home I've lost all that I know Everything I own was taken away from me Amidst the silence, distant foreboding cries The ambience of warfare chills my bones It should have been me Why did you have to take them away? Now I ask myself, is this the day I die? Lying low from the sterilization of earth The roars overhead have chased all wildlife off Each way out has been cordoned off Accumulation of displacement The cellars won't protect us all We will soon meet the same perilous end As the times change, they continue to resist a perverse aggression of no limit As the cities crumble, a rise of fists Now they hunt them down, back to where they live Taught to kill from the day they were born We never asked for conflict, but the world views us as the enemy 07. Where Millions Have Come To Die [feat. Phil Bozeman] To a metropolis undignified They have come to die Blind rats in the maze affright vie For each block and structure garrisoning city heights Onward to the riverside They have tantalized Everything on which they've laid their eyes As the days go by, the death toll sustains its rise The majority will not come home Profound panic fiercely fervent De-evolution of warfare runs markedly From the sewers to the littered web of ashen lanes A presence in the next room lurking, yet to be seen In severance, things are never what they seem to be True terror ten thousand fold Adhering only to the serpent A testament to all things taken naturally An ejaculation of another madman's dreams The mother of all battles rages vigorously The death knell tolls ceaselessly for thee Malodorous emanations stinging at their eyes Months go by, the death toll continues to rise Hounds pry at the calcified Waist high in the feces of the raiders left alive The trampled turn the tides They begin to twist the knife With drive retribution unwinds A merciless drama where millions have come to die Where millions have come to die They all paid the ultimate price Where millions have come to die Surrender is denied to the corps By the despot held above them Their losses are mounting at a staggering rate To flee or become yet another casualty To be shot between the eyes or take a chance to be free In severance, things are never what they seem to be True terror ten thousand fold [?] service to the serpent A testament to all things taken naturally An ejaculation of another madman's dreams The mother of all battles ends on a blood red mound The death knell tolls forever loud Where millions have come to die Where millions have come to die Where millions have come to die Where millions have come to die They paid the price all with their lives The kessel closes, constricting the throats of those spared from starvation Frostbite death and suicide The morsels standing march to the beyond With black clouds high above They march to the unknown With black clouds high above They march to the unknown With black clouds high above They march to the unknown With black clouds high above They march to the unknown... 08. From Ruin... We Rise Newcomers dance and sing Relieved by the passing of spring They feel the grace of the sun Their misfortune has not yet begun Where the men used to come for their drinks Where the children would play endlessly They have taken our everything They know not what tomorrow shall bring On the opposite side of the field A vengeance that shall never yield Fathers weep for their sons Their suffering cannot be undone Why cry? From squalor and ruin we rise They reap what they've sown Arise, arise Past the horizon lay paradise But here the rivers run red Dregs of the world seen through their eyes Less than the dung below the flies Fields of the dead bake in the light Children, women and men, their bodies lie Piled in the streets stacked six feet high Tell me why, oh why Limbs contorted Anatomical morbid distortions At a biblical limit the purging In our hearts is a rage ever burning Come the next morning We attack with a thousand scornings Look upon us like death is emerging Beginning the righteous charge, disparaging Now it's our turn for the scourging With a hatred relentlessly swarming Skies wail as rockets are hurling Falling down to earth screaming and bursting Miles, miles and miles of corpses They bear witness to vindictive forces As far as the eyes can see If you saw it you wouldn't believe it When will these fucking wars end? Why cry? From squalor and ruin we rise They reap what they've sown Arise, arise Past the horizon lay paradise But here the rivers run red 09. Blood In The Sands Of Time [feat. Chuck Billy] Blood in the sands of time The ageless clock is counting down The purveyors and crusaders bygone live on renowned Some dare aspire to join the ranks of the gods The certainty of your safety now drains with every hour Only the dead have seen the end of war All sons of the many gods The race of men Begotten end Empires fall Years have progressed and are forsaken The meek are cast down The strongest garnering the gains Sounds of war echo on in solemn spirit The blind, the sick, the old, the young, even the demons hear it And as time passes on, these situations Remain a constant in the name of indemnification The oozing black heart below the surface is calling outward And those who dare listen shall be relentlessly pulled under Worldwide crisis Divinity rehashed The world you see that surrounds you was built from murder The cycle of death continues and we push it further Always mobilized Eager to pulverize Corrupt, destabilize Autonomy strung up high The whole are dead to rights Nothing shall ever suffice Our end is prophecized The suicide of our kind Rejecting signs as the grand clock unwinds Oil pipelines pour spilled blood in the sands of time We walk the earth and still the ground, it trembles Transcending elements From death we cannot hide Suicide of humankind Kiss of death claiming lives To persevere is no option Reset, rewind Suicide of humankind Eden is falling apart Sounds of war echo on The sounds of war echo on The sheer will of mankind can hold on only for so long Acting as though the last grain has faltered 10. Reconquest [Instrumental] 11. Elegy I: Adapt Go beyond Dig your graves Bury the bones Wait for god What fate awaits those who kill? Murderous tyrants only seek supremacy 12. Elegy II: Devise Desolate, a sea of rubble and debris They've come to avenge their burning lands Desecrate, the city crumbles under their feet The pestilent forage of all who remain Nevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy persists throughout our history From ancient ages to modern times, these untold atrocities have amassed Permeating the ground The soil soaks up their blood Divest this reaping hand Two alphas cannot share the fruits of existence Treacherous tales unfold as the undying hour of bloodshed reaps and sows the weary and the weak Powers of new blood now play god with maniacal ease They shall enslave all So we sing ourselves to sleep When the strong overtake the week The cities burn, the bridges bend Now we lay our heads to rest The winds of change oust the inept Powers come and go A fool's existence subject to their terms Loss roams on neglected Some eyes have not seen a day Spared of loss, litany, anguishing pain Sterile of reasoning Hopeless, it's hopeless Trying to outwit the colossal construct of life itself No matter where you are in this world, you'll always have what they want Defaced human creations Memoirs of fallen cultures blanket the blood red ground Defaced human creations Memoirs of fallen cultures 13. Elegy III: Overcome 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
