Elegy III: Overcome Lyrics by Shadow of Intent

Elegy (Deluxe Edition)

2022

[Intro: Ben Duerr]
Now, they crumble the kingdom
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City, a smoldering heap
[Verse 1: Ben Duerr]
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
[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
[Bridge: Ben Duerr]
Now, they crumble the kingdom
Tied their hands to their feet
Burned, bereft of forgiveness
City, a smoldering heap
[Verse 2: Ben Duerr]
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
[Verse 3: Ben Duerr]
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
[Bridge: Ben Duerr]
Isolated, wallowing in the shame
No resurgence
Preparations for the next war begin
This cannot be escaped
The world holds its breath, awaiting death
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Duerr]
Victorious, now, the victor sings
And rewrites the cold facts of history
To present their greatness to their offspring
This process cycles continuously
[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
[Post-Chorus: Ben Duerr]
Victorious, now, the victor sings
And rewrites the cold facts of history
To present their greatness to their offspring
This process cycles continuously
