Shadow of Intent - Elegy III: Overcome Lyrics & Traduction


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
Nevertheless, 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
