The Return - Shadow of Intent

A pulse of energy wipes the galaxy clean of all its life.

Vivisection of the

cosmos, a dogma of the damned

The rule of ancients ceases to exist

Alone in a vast obscurity of infinite perception

Billions have vanished before my eyes

Psychopathic devastation is the rule of our demise

Sliding forward into the tale of which return is not an option, isolation,

incubation of the virulent contagion

Maddened resurrection, hypodermic insurrection, the beginning of an era,

the dormant lord of death’s erection

The question is remaining: Can they overcome restriction?

Through rock, metal and time all they’ve done is fucking listen

Reseeding has been nothing short of successful

Life is thriving in the milky way, alone I’ve waited for anything

The end of this insanity, alas they have arrived

You’ve been away for far too long

The origin of my existence finally has come

Alas, they have arrived, It’s been far too long

Now they have returned

The gift of life has been instilled, the successors to our past have been

exhumed

Held in the arms of exuberance, I fathom the infinite light and follow it into

the night

I regret to inform you to maintain a distance

This ring holds entities you cannot imagine

Approach the vector in which you have been given

Rid the infestation of non-Reclaimers

Legions of Covenant blanket the surface

Searching for the Cartographer, and searching for control.

Blacklisted

facilities have been overrun

I need your help to gain them back before it’s too late

They’ve broken through the gates

You will not take this from me

The gift of life has been instilled, the successors to our past have been

exhumed

Held in the arms of exuberance, I fathom the infinite light and follow it into

the night

From the abyss of bitter loneliness to the nostalgic rush of memory

If only I possessed the form in which I was born

A living body so I can embrace and rejoice

The gift of life has been instilled, the successors to our past have been

exhumed

You are the child of my makers, inheritor of all they left behind,

but this reign is mine

A new chapter has begun
