Shadow Of Intent - Elegy II: Devise lyrics

[Verse 1: Ben Duerr] 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 [Bridge: Ben Duerr] Permeating the ground The soil soaks up their blood Divest this reaping hand Two alphas cannot share the fruits of existence [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown: Ben Duerr] 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 They shall enslave all [Chorus: Chris Wiseman] 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 [Verse 2: Ben Duerr] 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 [Verse 3: Ben Duerr] 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 [Bridge: Ben Duerr] Defaced human creations Memoirs of fallen cultures blanket the blood-red ground [Guitar Solo] [Outro: Ben Duerr] Defaced human creations Memoirs of fallen cultures
