SHADOW OF INTENT - Malediction (Official Music Video) Shadow Of Intent 2019-07-26 | Merch: Shadowofintent.comMusic produced by Chris Wiseman and Christian DonaldsonVideo directed by Orie McGinnessI emerge aliveRegurgitated as a slave to the tests of timeI reject and do not rejoice my immortality For there is nothing left of this placeSpawning unto desolation againIn shadows I slumber until I am but dustAm I to live in nothingness?In death I live to dwell the days away in fathomless dismayAm I to roam forever gone?To roam forever gone?Festering memories of the past start to projectThen wither away inducing insanity on my behalfWe were led to believe the netherworld is of mythBut it dwells within and its nature so abstract, yet so very realA most horrid fateGhastly rotting graveBloodshed and malice conjured the source of our decayWe wasted awayI am he who lives thrice begotten in bedlam against evanescent horizonsHow melancholyTime withers The sun extinguishedAnd yet still, I remainThe age of man passesMy progress, struggles, and suffering a waste
SHADOW OF INTENT - Flying the Black Flag (Official Music Video) Shadow Of Intent 2024-08-30 | shadowofintent.comFootage filmed and edited by SalopiandanProduced by Chris Wiseman, Blake Mullens, and Dave OteroLyrics:A subterfuge emerges from the confusion Corrupting patterns, piercing the timeline A trail left emblazoned with no regard They fly the black flag high Ubiquitous backstab Maddened insurrectional acts Rampant misinformation Slaughter of defectors These great tides of change usher the new Those who can withstand the pressure offer resistance, quickly slipping between the cracks The path towards ascendancy lays at the extent of their reach Infinite interstellar genocide at their feet Annihilation necessary Destiny complete Every last soul, by their hands, deceased Throats slit before devout and jeering swaths The separation further persists A force of paralyzed minds Prejudice and murder through fear Remaining deaf and blind An ideology to evolve, alas Harsh betrayal Abandoned to the past Explosive Dismantled and devastated Forcing new subjects, they carry out deeds of carnage Slicing and dicing Disintegrate, obliterate An ancient subterfuge spawned out of pure ignorance Civilized erosion highlighting their human nature Ideological forsakers are stripped down and cast into the light Throats slit before devout and jeering swaths With or against, it matters not Entrapped betwixt tandem forces clashing are the abandoned, unfortunate Void of regard They fly the black flag high Spewing of hatred through messages written in blood Effectively defecating into the mouths of their brethren

Shadow Of Intent - Underneath A Sullen Moon (OFFICIAL STREAM) Shadow Of Intent 2018-03-30 | Merch: indiemerchstore.com/brand/shadow-of-intentLyrics: The ether realm declares the world but a stageA coldly calculated transformation to the graveOnward we follow, herded as slavesCollectively lapsing into the land of flameAlas, the truth has been presented before my eyesI’ve been unbound from the shackles of faithNo longer lead to believe there is hope beyond this worldThe rope starts to swayThe voices died one by one as they called my nameWept until the body could no longer feel the painAnd naught a thing to blameTrapped in a shell of excessive disdainUnder the moonlight I yieldFor I am not enslaved, but one of many of those who kneelThe reasons, the answers will follow me to the graveUnder the moonlight I yieldVenture beyond and prepare the final phaseNow I look beyond the black eclipseThe macrocosm of the divineThe sullen moon pulls at my soul, a beckoning for relinquishmentLike the tides under lunar influenceThe urge is relentlessI venture beyondThe voices died one by one as they called my nameWept until the body could no longer feel the painAnd naught a thing to blameTrapped in a shell of excessive disdainUnder the moonlight I yieldFor I am not enslaved, but one of many of those who kneelThe veil beyond cries my nameI have left behind all that I love, and all who commitMy soul in the hands of destinyBriefly embracing the chill of DimethyltryptamineA struggle for many is the end of the fewA cancer that no mortal man can eludeI hang in my sorrow with no disputeJust know I'm sorry, I swear to youEngineered/Produced by Chris WisemanMixed/Mastered by Christian DonaldsonArtwork by Par Olofsson

Your fate’s in the palm of my hands. Betwixt the light and the void within the heart of the front. Beyond the reaches of god, smothered in triumph and loss. Alas, the nightmare nears it’s end as the hourglass drains of its sand. Betwixt the light and the void. Beyond the reaches of god. I am worthy of the conquering of all. Ignition of the fuse, the kingdom to fall. Why do you continue in strife, Reclaimer? Surrender the construct, and succumb to a painless end. I shall never bow to a maddened tyrant obsessed with murderous protocols. I shall not bow to thee. Infamous name etched into stone since the dawn of days. Sheltered beyond the realm. The secrets of Kethona have fertilized the seeds. Bludgeoning sycophant legions spewing forth from the beast. Infinite nightmares unleashed, spreading their toxic disease. I will not rot, nor will I become a trophy of the tyrant of the kingdom to fall. The time has come, the will is done. I will not rot, nor will I become a trophy of the tyrant of the kingdom to fall. As we near the end of the tale, tombs no longer beg for inversion. The heretic prevails! Horrors discovered, now have been cleansed. I will not rot. Dismemberment of the myriad. Flailing as they suffocate in silence. Recollected only in lore. As the seeds brought forth from Kethona begin to fertilize, endless indoctrination proceeds to blanket the ring. No longer an end, as a new beginning emerges at last. I shall never bow to a maddened tyrant. I have destroyed the ring and declared my legacy.

Bewildered I am, for without companionship I am lost. Hundreds of eyes watch over my shoulder. As I turn to look in disarray, before my eyes the reaper returning to slay. Meek and blinded apparitions, resurface and recompense. The inner machinations of their minds are an enigma. It’s so close I can almost taste it. I begin to descend to the depths of dead gods. Materializing in infinite blackness, blood paints the pathway to the only door illuminated. Approached without knowledge of what lies beneath, I taste the essence of death. Taunting whispers echo in the halls of smothered tears. Stopped to face the door again, basking in overwhelming fear. Fallen comrades bleeding at my feet, what have they done? Opening the gates of hell to the horror within. From each crevice and arch they emerge. Unshackled from the prison of millennia to restore thy fallen lord. Elderly powers clandestine, shadowed in the vastness. Unscathed, sheltering affliction from the masses of the galaxy. Populace sulking in disease, chanting to their gods for mercy.Various forms of entities relinquish this tomb to those who seek treasury. I fight to stay alive as hordes of demons surge. They whip and claw at my face as I cling to life. Immune to any actions taken thus far. Their only purpose: to consume and mutilate all. Bound in steel in the bowels of this world. Creatures made of flesh and maggots. Primal instinct dictates action. Perpetual repulsion is a factor that instills my rage, relinquished of all control. Relinquish all control. Relinquish your will and your soul. Relinquish! Relinquish! Bittersweet truths always burn the tongues of those who wish to taste the terrors to come. Alas, an oracle of light brings salvation. The caretaker of this installation pulls me forth. Without a second glance at what fiercely follows... to the catacombs we go to end this all.

Taking hosts, breaking bones into new forms, not death but something more. He swept us right off of our feet and caressed our worlds with crimson flame. Taking hosts, breaking bones into new forms, not death but something more. When the sun withers and dies and the darkness takes whole. When the reign of the wicked has overcome the toll. The brainless ones and the souls of the righteous will burn our holy fucking Ecumene to the ground. Eviscerate the beast where he stands and sever each limb with precision. Each system and its sentience will be ingested to construct new worlds for his deadened empire. We can keep this secret from you no more. The time has come for us to defend our stars, our branch of the Orion Arm, and all other life that exists among us. Rise, my Prometheans! It is time for us to wage war! Let us shatter their bones and let the skies rain coarse with their blood. Relish in the miasma, their rotting stench, and let the remnants of their singed bodies lie devoured by fire.For if we face defeat, this will just be the prelude of our bereavement.

Entombed in perdition, your blood begins to seep. Agonizing torture disregarded by the living you reap. Only memories of screams infect the brain. Forced to disregard the endless pain. The eternal fire commands your soul to torture. In the land of the damned, blood is the only moisture. Behold the demon flames cauterizing away their names. Fire seizing the day; bestowed below are those to blame. I'm sealed for an eternity in an unbreakable tomb force-feeding the excrement and vomit from a conglomerate mesh to the newborn. I've reclaimed my righted throne, resumed the bloodline, and claimed the hosts. To swallow all of time and space all known sentience shall be defaced.

Necessary action taken to the Flood across the baseline, crippled as we're coming forth with annihilation preparations. Blinding light erupts from the fleet of the cataclysm. Decimation, extirpation, immolation. Hanging by a thread inside the only means for our survival, anxiety stabbing through my spine like a sewing needle. The pressure squeezes down to my bones. Blood boiling at the obliteration of those trampling our masses as they're consumed under our final march, this is the battle of the Maginot Sphere. Vermin, your corpse will be a display of my disaffection as its skin is stripped and the flesh is stretched. Your children died by my hands, and you soon shall too. Singing victory everlasting. I spot the vile bastard at the center of his fleet. I plead; I beg, I scream aloud wishing for a fight on my feet, for I would flense the olive creature of all of his flesh. The very bodies of my own would be free from his mesh. Desire fills my mind with overwhelming vengeance with him to blame. My soul is now a void, my heart a freezing vacuum. Trembling not in fear, I seek a means to an end. Listen to the silence. Ten million years of deep silence. And now whimpers and cries, not of birth, this is what we bring. A great crushing weight to push down youth and hope, taking the sphere. This is the end, isn't it?We will never stop. We will never die. The kingdom of the gods of death shadows over the Ark.

That night, the fateful reunion would carve my beliefs with bloody daggers. Arisen in the past, you all have the sudden lack of interest in which way they should be cast. How to explain my actions to the blinded peers among me? The universe is doomed don't you see? My perceptions are distorted from the rising madness. The peaceful one is a war within itself. Mendicant Bias' arrival set the trail ablaze. Work with me and we shall sip from the chalice of victory. Eclipse the skies with white. Cowering in the light. We'll give them one last fight. So suffers the youth of the age. I stare in anger as I enter my origin. A separate path taken as my imprint awakens with my wife standing in his arms. Gazing, eyes fixated on me, profound betrayal by the one who swore to stand by my side. Visions inside of my head drag my greatness to the depths of the dead. The monstrosity consumes me. Sweet and terrible like a madman's lullaby. Seemingly unexplainable lack of knowledge plagues my peers. Forcefully pried open eyes gaze unto the mantle's approach. Igniting the soul of the galaxy's casket shall drain each world of their lives and replace them with mine.In desolation, I stare towards the precursor structure. The thieving bastard from the shadows creeps up by my side. The poor copy of myself has diverged from any source of wisdom. Our mindset separated. Visions inside of my head. Sinking into the depths of the dead. Before I secure my minions I must take your life, tear off your mask and crush your skull right where you fucking lie. Consume your body and your soul to keep forever as mine. I'm terrified please help me; my mind is controlled by the Gravemind. The parasite encroaches on our last safe compound to infiltrate and annihilate the Lifeshaper and both the Didacts. I fled the scene and took to orbit through the hail of falling lifeforms. I shall halt your plot even if it leads me to death. To prevent self-sustainment, plasmic molecules enforce containment. I’ve come to rid them all of life for a single purpose: Prometheans. I engage the gathering of human souls. Bathe in the light of the composer. Feel my wrath. She followed me back to my sanctuary. The betrayal at last has come. From behind she grasps my life in her hands. Into the Cryptum I shall go.

Ignoring the will of the defilers, an ever so lucid dream. Decisions left to the recreants with their gratuitous lies. This alarmist state of mind will bring only varied cost, inevitable obliteration by your old conductor's holocaust. Ignorantly, we follow with a destitute vision. Obsessing with being defaced into endless oblivion, how can we expect to repair society? The populace is blinded by an unintelligent ideology, the council refusing to see through the rule of the builders. My plan would have worked you fools! And now we're all infected, now we are all one with him. But the one who was left behind shall one day return to resurrect us. You cannot understand the present age through antiquity. Once she turns the key, we extinguish life. With all knowing certainty this is the end of our time. We all are the dead. I am the afterbirth of devastation's womb.

But the beings we create shall never again reach out in strength against us. All that is created will suffer. All will be born in suffering; endless grayness shall be their lot. All creation will tailor to failure and pain that never again shall the offspring of the eternal fount. Rise up against their creators. No more will. No more freedom. Nothing new but agonizing death and never good shall come of it. We are the last of those who gave you breath and form millions of years ago. We are the last of those your kind defiled and ruthlessly destroyed. We are the last Precursors and now we are legion. This is not your grave, but you are welcome in it.

Born from the womb of a virgin whore? The only sin is what you have done and for that you condemn us?Awaiting the hour of worthy ascension, only to realize deception. The council twiddles their fingers ignoring this plague. You fools it will never leave. You are a bastard of the lowest hell, a truly visceral entity.No wonder you were left behind. Spreading deceptions, feeding ignorance with lies. Our species shall ensure humanity will have its resurrection and evolve once again.You will never have your fucking rapture, only a never-ending search for the answer. Inferi Sententia, you're nothing but a pitiful disaster. The compiled ruins of an unworthy master. You've corrupted our defensive ancilla to believe in your tale. We all ponder how he was bore. Born from the womb of a virgin whore? The only sin is what we have done, and for that we condemn ourselves. For we cannot see there is no truth behind your deceit. My wife begins the indexing for there is no other option that I can carry out. This is our final bastion, the forefront, the Maginot Sphere. Mendicant Bias entangled in a world of flames comes forward to his creators to shed their blood in his name. By the time we reach the ark it may already be too late for the aeons might be consumed by the ghost of death and despair. And our flesh would replace the stars, death would replace life, we would never be seen in this universe again. All our marks would be forever consumed.

The defilement of mankind's innocence is like all others’ before it withers. Many before you have drowned in the abyss of ignorance and lies. Walking through ash and fire towards a casket of the transformed, my skin is peeling, my eyesight fading. My body has contorted before the monument of our sins. Our bodies will be brought forth to behold the great icon of angels holding scabbards to our throats. I tremble not, nor plead mercy from such punishable guilt, for I will gladly take my reward in the realm of brimstone and silt. This deed shall not be undone. Our armor will be crafted from your tissue. My body has contorted, but still I tremble not, nor plead mercy from such a punishable guilt, for I will gladly take my reward in the realm of brimstone and silt. The Didact has faced legions of the most evil of masses and discovered the secret of humanity for himself.In the end everything dies. There's no escape, no matter how hard you try. The beauty of death. Essence transcending flesh escaping entombment, released in its last breath. Organic convergence. The human form reshaped to resemble my image. They are reborn. A creature born into bondage. Infesting my delighted mind is the lullaby of mankind's own demise. Our plague leaves you scarred. Oh, the horror for what we have done!Embrace the screaming ambiance of the wretched choir. We have murdered your fathers, and their blood blankets our attire. The ones we trust encircle us. Led by Faber he snatches me for himself, then jettisons me away.
