Shadow of Intent

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 So, we sing ourselves to sleep When the strong overtake the weak The cities burn, the bridges bend Now we lay our heads to rest So, we sing ourselves to sleep When the strong overtake the weak The cities burn, the bridges bend Now we lay our heads to rest Now, they crumble the kingdom Tied their hands to their feet Burned, bereft of forgiveness City a smoldering heap Powers of new blood now play god with maniacal ease They shall enslave all SongtexteNevertheless, this headlong struggle for supremacy Persists throughout our violent history 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 Some survive; others shall be cast alight Into a burning pit of fire 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 So, we sing ourselves to sleep When the strong overtake the weak The cities burn, the bridges bend Now we lay our heads to rest Victorious, now, the victor sings And rewrites the cold facts of history To present their greatness to their offspring This process cycles continuously Aus Songtexte Mania
