So now that the album is streaming on myspace, I couldn't help myself from listening to the title track, Shōgun. Holy Fucking Shit. Its amazing.
Either way, I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere, so i started to write em down myself. It is pretty difficult considering some of the vocal patterns MKH uses in some parts, as well as his unorthodox vocabulary and the screaming sections. Ill post what i have so far, even though there are some blanks and probably some errors. If I'm pretty sure a line is very wrong, i tried to put a question mark next to it, and i tried to start unknown lines with a dash (-) but i probably did miss some. Also, the time stamps i tried to put on every section might be off slightly.
So just read em with he song, and if i can get some feedback and/or correcting or fills for the blanks that would be great. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Here it is
Trivium – Shogun

Verse 1: (0:43)
Won’t walk the earth a specter
Won’t hold my tongue from lashing out
This is my writ of honor
Dropped by the blood that I have shed
The beast will soon assemble (the beast will soon assemble)
Conjoining in their putrid flesh
Their hearts don’t beat desire
They pump violence and poison
Pre-chorus 1: (1:10)
Flesh opens up
Blood’s retreating
Flesh opens up
Blood’s retreating
Death’s embracing
All is ending
Death’s embracing
All is ending
Chorus 1: (1:37)
Time will not heal
All of your pain
I cannot wait
For it all to come crashing down
Verse 2: (1:55)
The monsters walk among us
Leeching the blood out from what’s good
Infecting at transmission
Swallowing innocence from life
Our time has come to stand forth
The wretched womb from which they feed
Behold the loathsome demons
Send them into the hell they made

Pre-chorus 2: (2:22)
Flesh opens up
Blood’s retreating
Flesh opens up
Blood’s retreating
Death’s embracing
All is ending
Death’s embracing
All is ending
Chorus 2: (2:49)
Time will not heal
All of your pain
I cannot wait
For it all to come crashing
Down on your face
Ripping your veins out
Your insides win
And kill you from within
Bridge Section A: (3:17)
And the seas will
Rise as serpents
Spawned from the
Mouth of earth’s surface
Soon these skies
Will fall fast burning
Open wide
And eat the suffering
Bridge Section B: (4:40)
The pulses now quickening
Softly, it’s painstaking
Look within to calm the storm
Raging inside the form
There’s no turning back
For I’m witness
To the changing
Take all you have brought to sacrifice
For you will lose much more
If you succeed in this battle
You still will lose so much more
The pulses now quickening
Softly, it’s painstaking
Look within to calm the storm
Raging inside the form
There’s no turning back
For I’m witness
To the changing
Take all you have brought to sacrifice
For you will lose much more
If you succeed in this battle
You still will lose so much more
Bridge Section C: (7:14)
Time has come to
Face all evil
Time has come to
Face all evil
Time has come to
Face all evil
Time has come to
Face all evil
Now the seas rise
Up as serpents
Spawned from the mouth
Of Earth surface
As the skies now
Fall fast burning
Open wide and
Face the suffering
The inferno spews out hell’s horde
Casting the flame upon our world
As death eclipses all the light
We make out last stand, ‘till death: fight
Final Chorus: (9:40)
Time will not heal
All of your pain
I cannot wait
For it all to come crashing
Time will not heal
All of your pain
I cannot wait
For it all to come crashing
Down on your face
Ripping your veins out
Your insides win
And kill you from within
