The Flood of Pestilence
02:23
|

|
There is no glory in your deeds.
No triumph in your actions
This is not a place of honor.
From the lake that held your healing waters
Only filth spews forth,
carrying its pestilence.
The flood has begun.
Run for your life.
Escape from the rising tides.
Run for your life.
Escape from the rising tides.
Buildings collapse underneath the waves.
A wave of arrogance
no longer contained.
Cold water sealing off the lungs,
delegating judgement on both old and young.
We should have been more careful
Not to reignite the seal.
Now The Legend haunts us
Not resting until they kill.
Certainty brought us failure
Blind to reality.
Defiant to the bitter end.
Defiant to the bitter end!
Run for your life.
Escape from the rising tides.
Run for your life;
escape the flood.

Phantoms of the Mire
04:11
|
|||
|
Reflections struggle to find hosting eyes
from rippling waters.
Inundated soil
beneath heathered skies
Are all that remain.
Was it you who said humanity
has a seat at the table of god?
I took solace in those words,
displayed them in my work.
Let them live without fear;
rejection of the truth.
Here we are now,
responsible for travesty
of a scale unknown.
O,
now beware
of the phantoms of the mire
taking host.
You may claim
that it’s based in fiction,
yet this was foretold.
Now beware
of the phantoms of the mire taking host.
You tell them it’s a mirage,
But I have felt the ghost.
Living in a world drowned out
in our own mistakes.
massive waves overtake
everything we love
twisting metal, burning wood.
A barge of floating corpses.
This is what it takes to play God.
You will not interfere.
Now we must go,
escaping with what little that we have left.
I’m sure that you’re aware
that these deadly waters can reanimate.
You’ll see the waves that come from a drop
of pure
hatred.
Rising from the waves
This is how
The Legend comes to life.
O, now beware,
of The Phantoms of the Mire.

Now,
look,
toward the burning skies.
Take arms,
mount horses and ride.
Leave no wretched soul
alive.
Go
And let the legend
come back to life.

Virtues
03:32
|
|||
|
Blade and shield
Sense of rage
Spirits dampened
Healing damage
Far now from your homes;
A life you cherish.
Struggle with the reality
the ones you love have perished.
We must go on now,
the sands of time
give us no quarter.
We must go on now,
the sands of time
give us no quarter.
When destiny is out of our grasp,
our virtues
remain intact.
Fight to survive,
until our lungs collapse!
Our virtues remain intact.
The phantoms lurk
over your shoulder.
Aim your eyes and your aspirations
beyond the mid-day sky,
We are but nothing
if we abandon principle.
Rising from the waters
as the chosen few,
take from the tragedy
a sense of purpose anew.
Stand now survivors,
you have been given
a gift most gracious.
We must go on now,
the sands of time
give us no quarter.
We must go on now,
the sands of time
give us no quarter.
When destiny is out of our grasp,
our virtues remain intact.
Fight to survive,
until our lungs collapse!
Our virtues remain intact.

Night
03:42

Halcyon days
of a bitter slave,
ensnared by promise,
in the land of the brave.
High definition lies from distorted command.
Fool’s gold in a crumbling hand.
Self-loathing forceps dig through
flesh and bone, extract the soul.
Fate’s scalpel makes the incision,
our scars the sign of poor decision.
Believe me when I say
that this life they’ve given you
is not a gift; I assure you
it was made up to exploit you.
Believe me when I say
that this life they’ve given you
is not a gift; I assure you
It was sent out to destroy you.
Come with me
Take my hand
We’ll live forever.
Black out every star!
Make this darkness ours.
Join me in this life.
Go to the deep dark of the night.
Go into the black, with full attack.
Channel the hate that the masses lack.
Your resent is now a strength,
break through this wicked gate.
The forest is thick now,
do not turn back.
The hatred’s heat,
they try to track.
Frantic search, to no avail.
Through shadows now
you float and sail.
Believe me when I say
that this life they’ve given you
is not a gift; I assure you
it was made up to exploit you.
Believe me when I say
that this life they’ve given you
is not a gift; I assure you
It was sent out to destroy you.
Come with me
Take my hand
We’ll live forever.
Black out every star!
Make this darkness ours.
Join me in this life.
Go to the deep dark of the night.

Separation
06:22
|
|||
|
This mask,
of solitude and silence,
beckons the ending
of all our empathy.
As death walks in
this mortal shell.
Divides from humanity
the hopes of farewell.
The demons from within
drag me back to hell;
no spoken words,
but I knew their reasons well.
Holding life
so distant
from
reality
Lucifer
Speaks my name.
Pain from within my mind;
A question
of wrong
and right
Existential light guides
us to the end
of our lives.
The divide in our minds;
The separation
of twilight.
One day darkness will take over.
But for now,
the blazing sun shines!
Awaken, from the light
of endless eternal night.
The legend has foretold
of a sleeping world.
Silence your heart,
away from the world!
the only
thing it bears
is the waterline.
From the ashes of my soul,
I ripped away the light
in order to contain
the everlasting dark.
I could never regain what was lost
from my hollow abyss.
The emptiness of my soul
carries nothing but a burden onto others.
In the dark cavern I awoke,
reaching for the shining light
as I asked above,
“Is there still any chance for me?”
“Could there be anything left to obtain?”
“Anything at all?”
and the world said no.
“Is there still any light worth reaching for?”
“Any good things left worth working towards?”
and with the weight of the world
on my shoulders,
my heart
said
no.
Demonize
humanity
separating
reality
Demonize
humanity
separating
all of reality.

Agony walks
beside I
and my
fellow man
Over the battlefields.
The coward’s loss is crimson
And it feeds the trees
Righteous in our stride
Infernal sigils emblemize
Take a breath and chat our rites:
“The blade’s judgement guides”
Righteous in our stride
Infernal sigils emblemize
Brought to Earth by the mother of war
The Legend has been born.
Death and Satan
perched by our sides.
An entire army crucified,
Condemned and damned.
Set forth like a black hand!
To smother those who disagree
with the new order of the dead
Righteous in our stride
Infernal sigils emblemize
Take a breath and chat our rites:
“The blade’s judgement guides”
Righteous in our stride
Infernal sigils emblemize
Brought to Earth by the mother of war
The Legend has been born

The blessings of the moon,
Pass down upon our bodies.
The rations depleted
our spirits defeated
A twilight salvation
A blessing dressed in darkness
The solemn emptiness
falls away
as the hours pass.
We must take our gift of survival
to rise above!
Do not surrender.
Far beyond the sun,
set our aim higher.
Until we settle in the comfort of the stars.
Come now, awaken to your senses.
We still have battles left to fight.
We can’t be tired.
As long as the hoard
follows,
there is no surrender.
Hope and pray
that we live to see another day.
We must take our gift of survival
to rise above!
Do not surrender.
Far beyond the sun,
set our aim higher.
Until we settle in the comfort of the stars.

Path of Red
04:24
|
|||
|
Sunlight shows us an oasis.
A brief second of reprieve,
a chance to rest our weary heads.
Crystals of origin arcane,
powered by the shining light,
used to grant us protection
Prepare the ground!
Polish the casket well.
Bury those
we have loved.
Prayers and vigils
Grant us your salvation again.
They pursue us like a menace
An unbelievable force of nature
smothers the landscape.
Hurry now, their footsteps race
toward us.
Hurry now
We brought this
upon ourselves.
Our haste in execution
was our undoing.
We should have been more careful
not to reignite the seal.
Now The Legend haunts us,
not resting until they kill.
They say that want a Path of Red
A nation bleeding at their feet.
We gave them the means to survive
A machine hell bent
on taking our lives.
We brought this
upon ourselves.
Our haste in execution
was our undoing.
We should have been more careful
not to reignite the seal.
Now The Legend haunts us,
not resting until they kill.
Run for your lives,
escape the flood.

Shadow of Corvus Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Taking nods from their numerous experiences in the melodic death metal and metalcore scenes, Shadow of Corvus incorporates crushing, galloping riffs with razor sharp melodic lines, underscored by a powerhouse of percussive force. Paired with vocals that are kaleidoscopic and range and technique, the band cunningly weaves between genres like a phantom on Separation. ... more
