Shadow Of Intent - Life of Exile lyrics

[Verse 1: Ben Duerr & Chris Wiseman] 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? [Pre-Chorus: Ben Duerr] Forced away, driven into these holes We leave behind our memories of home [Chorus: Chris Wiseman] I've lost all that I know Everything I own was taken away from me [Verse 2: Ben Duerr] 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? [Pre-Chorus: Ben Duerr] Forced away, driven into these holes We leave behind our memories of home [Chorus: Chris Wiseman] I've lost all that I know Everything I own was taken away from me [Bridge: Ben Duerr] Lying low from the sterilization of the earth The roars overhead have chased all wildlife off Each way out has been cordoned off Accumulation of displacement These cellars won't protect us all We will soon meet the same perilous end [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown: Ben Duerr] 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 [Chorus: Chris Wiseman] I've lost all that I know Everything I own was taken away from me I've lost all that I know Everything I own was taken away from me
