The Return - Shadow Of Intent

[00:17.21]A pulse of energy wipes the galaxy clean of all its life.
[00:19.21]Vivisection of the cosmos, a dogma of the damned
[00:24.05]The rule of ancients ceases to exist
[00:27.11]Alone in a vast obscurity of infinite perception
[00:30.25]Billions have vanished before my eyes
[00:32.12]Psychopathic devastation is the rule of our demise
[00:34.26]Sliding forward into the tale of which return is not an option,
[00:35.21] isolation, incubation of the virulent contagion
[00:37.21]Maddened resurrection, hypodermic insurrection,
[00:38.44] the beginning of an era, the dormant lord of death's erection
[00:40.05]The question is remaining: Can they overcome restriction?
[00:42.12]Through rock, metal and time all they've done is ******* listen
[00:55.44]Reseeding has been nothing short of successful
[00:59.42]Life is thriving in the milky way, alone I've waited for anything
[01:03.00]The end of this insanity, alas they have arrived
[01:08.56]You've been away for far too long
[01:12.02]The origin of my existence finally has come
[01:15.01]Alas, they have arrived, It's been far too long
[01:19.04]Now they have returned
[01:21.05]The gift of life has been instilled,
[01:26.11]the successors to our past have been exhumed
[01:34.09]Held in the arms of exuberance,
[01:39.21]I fathom the infinite light and follow it into the night
[02:04.55]I regret to inform you to maintain a distance
[02:11.01]This ring holds entities you cannot imagine
[02:14.12]Approach the vector in which you have been given
[02:25.00]Rid the infestation of non-Reclaimers
[02:31.00]Legions of Covenant blanket the surface
[02:34.02]Searching for the Cartographer, and searching for control.
[02:36.21]Blacklisted facilities have been overrun
[02:40.02]I need your help to gain them back before it's too late
[02:48.33]They've broken through the gates
[02:53.01]You will not take this from me
[02:55.44]The gift of life has been instilled,
[03:00.21]the successors to our past have been exhumed
[03:08.11]Held in the arms of exuberance,
[03:13.21]I fathom the infinite light and follow it into the night
[03:25.01]From the abyss of bitter loneliness to the nostalgic rush of memory
[03:30.01]If only I possessed the form in which I was born
[03:34.44]A living body so I can embrace and rejoice
[04:03.01]The gift of life has been instilled,
[04:08.11] the successors to our past have been exhumed
[04:16.01]You are the child of my makers,
[04:21.21]inheritor of all they left behind, but this reign is mine
[04:41.22]A new chapter has begun
