Lyrics:
Snow covers every path
Stumbling, no turning back
Pushing further till I fall
Looking up, I hear him call
What’s known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
No cover from the sun
Crumbling, fall one by one
Look in envy at the dead
They took pity as they said
What’s known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
Don’t go searching for the battle
You won’t find any beasts to slay
You’ll rip yourself to pieces
You’ll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Black waters in our wake
Sinking, await our fate
Our dead future has arrived
Dark refrain - we can’t deny
What’s known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
Don’t go searching for the battle
You won’t find any beasts to slay
You’ll rip yourself to pieces
You’ll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir

Don’t go searching for the battle
You won’t find any beasts to slay
You’ll rip yourself to pieces
You’ll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the depths
I will rise
Don’t go searching for the battle
You won’t find any beasts to slay
You’ll rip yourself to pieces
You’ll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Don’t go searching for the battle
You won’t find any beasts to slay
You’ll rip yourself to pieces
You’ll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Snow covers every path
Stumbling, no turning back
You’ll rip yourself to pieces
You’ll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir

3:25 that photo of Matt when he finished super Mario as a kid lmao

[@northwindkey]

“The Final Chorus is faster and/or heavier and/or a different key” might be my favorite metal trope.

[@laran9922]

Not enough people are commenting how amazing the video is. The story, camera work, set and props... A whole movie with no dialogue. I need a sequel. I need... 😩

[@musikinspektorcom]

You'll get chapter V I guess

[@bryandiaz8042]

It will end the same way. That was the point of the story.

[@Mr.FranciscodeMiranda]

I kinda want it to turn into a tv show now

[@jovanies9751]

I was thinking the same. This is a cinematic masterpiece. Enough to become a movie or something

[@sooner724]

This is one of my favorite songs on the entire album. The video is pretty amazing too.

[@Eldrauger]

The end makes it feels like there could be a sequel. Loved it!

[@LiamD613]

The influence of Iron Maiden in the guitar and bass lines at the start is so apparent. Killer track!

[@zoubairoudrhiri6150]

Trivium is heading towards ruling the metal world one album at a time

[@ismaeljrp1]

They really are stalwarts in metal. They've had some hiccups in their career, nothing terrible, just short of expectations. But last 3 albums have been so incredibly good. The metal they play is super approachable as well. They aren't quite arena headlining yet, and not sure if they'll get there. But they are just so solid. Crazy they've been around for 2 decades now.

[@russelowens5507]

I really love Trivium. One of my favorite metal bands

[@mariamines8817]

Idk, Motionless in White dropped a really dope album. I lost track of how many times I listen too it on repeat. Don't get me wrong I love Trivium and they definitely could, but they got some tough competition.

[@ismaeljrp1]

@@mariamines8817 MIW is also a fantastic band. But they are a different genre alltogether so I don't really see it as competition, and even if they were that's only a good thing for everyone involved. The more awesome bands, the better for us fans.

[@lawrenceluebbert21]

I agree. Give them 👏

[@OHariseimai]

FINALLY THE BEST SONG FROM THE ALBUM

[@ant24197]

Def one of the best songs you guys have written. It should be played in every show from now on. It is even better live then recorded which says a lot

[@ant24197]

@KingOfLegends23 I completely disagree with you on that. Shogun is def one of their top 5 top 10 songs for certain but shadow is up their too. Wait to you see it live and it might change your mind

[@Toleyshreds]

Fuck yeah man. This song is insane live, easily one of their best.

[@elkciptish]

My favorite song from the album. It was great hearing this live at The Pageant! Was the main song I was hoping to hear this time! Got it recorded 😁.

Good to see other StarCraft Metal fans out there.

The best song of the album imo and that's with all of the other FANTASTIC songs on it! Can't wait to see this 🔥

[@digitalmouse3314]

Trivium has always been good but god damn they are getting so perfectly tight. Props to Angela side note booking Canada maybe in Alberta thanks as old school fan. trivium, Arch Enemy and all that would be nice. Nothing is coming here lately.

[@RyuujinLetum]

So hard to pick a favorite for me. This is a close second for me is Sword

[@MinusLifeTV]

@@RyuujinLetum The first 5-6 songs on the album is about as great of a stretch of songs on an album as I've ever heard lol 🤘

[@s.e.n3264]

They played it in Dallas during the Deadmen and Dragons tour. It was pretty cool

[@RyuujinLetum]

@@MinusLifeTV yeah man. This album and every album with Alex are really their best work. Especially because they became incredibly close with him.

[@cjbranchett9733]

Can someone please tell me why this masterpiece hasn’t got enough views? I’m all ears

[@nate13ful]

I've been listening to Trivium for 10 years. Definitely this song seems to me his masterpiece.

[@KrisiumSoul]

Well I "recently" start listening to them since 2005 😂😂with ascendancy album then went back to listen their first album Ember to Inferno and see all their changes, still in love with the band and also love Inflames..

[@jonkerrmusic]

This is definitely a shining gem on the album! Huge dynamic range both instrumentally and vocally - Probably one of Matt's best vocal performances ever recorded, if not THE best - and the build, tension, and release is beyond satisfying. The video is VERY "9th Gate", which is sick; terrific work, guys. This should be a fixture in your live shows forever - it's a terrific mid-set epic!

[@Feercholain]

The High note that Matt hits at the end is fantastic, chills Everytime I hear it. And it just blends so so good with the outro of the song! It's wonderful

[@ryanc6699]

Hes pretty unleash with Ibaraki tho

[@fvmaa]

i agree

[@axel1627]

Scuse me, i'm french and i don't understand what is "9th gate" ? thank you for your futur answer.

[@Dragonphoenix25]

@@axel1627 A theme similar to the movie "The Ninth Gate" (la Neuvième Porte en français), based on a book hiding occult stuff. But the whole album is a reference to Robert Chambers "The King in Yellow", a classical horror collection of short novels that predated Lovecraft in the same style. Psychological/ cosmic horror, the more the protagonist investigates stuff, the more he digs into occult territory to the point of discovering something so horrific or incomprehensible to the point of turning him insane.

[@quinncollins9571]

trivium gets me emotional 99% of the time

[@michalkleban5697]

OMG Pics of young Matt in newspapers

[@burintangparangsanti2370]

We will wait meet Trivium at Bangkok Thailand I follow you 17 years You are my favorite band.

Didn't know Trivium started making short movies. Very pleasant surprise, absolutely insane! Tye production level on that one is really good! Genuinely impressed!

[@Qjinhow]

I glanced at it and was like “did they really go that far?” Haha

This band deserves a lot more recognition in Brazil!

[@MaxLutsenko]

The director's work is amazing!

[@sebastian.lightup]

had a blast adding a dragon to this! thanks guys! 💙

[@soulengraved1]

I bet the girl felt that it was not worth looking for the lost page for Chapter II, because it turned out to be a bunch of gibberish. Also, I loved the Stranger Things reference at 3:24. "Strange things" and "Hawkins" below. ALSO, Matt just couldn''t help himself not to brag about saving the princess as a kid, huh. Legend.

[@sebastian.lightup]

when the vfx guy worked on stranger things... :D

[@FBHI]

One of the few bands that are still trying to make NEW music.

[@yangxiaolong3429]

3:23 Wait... the kid... Was that Matt when he was a kid?

[@keithneilson6236]

Just pure class, production value of the album and to match the videos. Haven’t received enough accolades for just how good this is. To the joke of media outlets and critics that gave it 4/5 when dishing out 5’s to others that just don’t meet this standard is ridiculous.

[@mycoachknowsthesheriff8396]

I didn't expect the video to be THIS GOOD. Every single shot is so damn beautiful. The library, the forest, the lake, my favourite shot when she's sitting under the apple tree. It's so beautiful, I don't know the technical terms to describe it because I'm not a filmmaker, the lighting and everything is just amazing, and then there's a dragon. I'm glad they went all out for the video, an epic song like this deserves an epic video and they absolutely killed it!

[@killerkite333]

This is my favorite off the new album. Melodic, heavy and builds to climax. The whole album is also damn strong from start to finish.

[@Willshanksmusic]

The verses are so haunting that the chorus literally punches you in the face! 🔥

[@JohnSmith-pj1ir]

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how far Matt has came with his vocals?

Absolutely... 100%.... Brilliant !! The first song that caught my attention when I listened to this Masterpiece Album. Hey everyone, if you haven't heard Trivium before, listen now and If you know Trivium, listen MORE ! 🎶🤘🎼🤘🎵

[@Thrallwarrior24897]

ive benn listening trivium for 4 years and this was the best song ever in my opinion

[@benbeentjes7088]

Completely wasted and f***ef up and this song is stuck in my head. I have really started to listen to Trivium when Vengeance Falls came out, and although I missed the Shogun hype, I am certain that Trivium will headline Metal festivals one day once the big ones call it quits. Their songwriting is so creative and they are so awesome instrumentaly, it feels that they are criminaly underrated. Slowly starting to become one of my favorite bands. Alright, drunk ranting over, keep doing what you do guys 🤘🏻

[@TheJaBuLs]

This and Damocles are my favorite songs from the Court album. This is definitely my favorite video from this album though. Absolutely incredible! How do you guys always come up with such cool/badass video ideas?! lol

[@parkertaylor918]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[@danielrevelo7556]

Increible!!! 🔥🐉Trivium nunca decepciona, siempre son lo mejor 🤟🤟 saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴

[@patrickschardt7724]

In my opinion, this is definitely one of the top 3 tracks of the album The video is well done too

[@Aenigmakil]

This is just mastery. From when In Waves came out through to the next couple of albums, I thought Trivium would forever be an average band. I thought their best days were gone now. But since the last three albums they've returned to a level of extreme and melodic, progressive and mature quality found on Shogun. And the short film video was fantastic too!

[@UltimateMetalR]

Absolute Masterpiece

[@stavi82]

i'm still convinced this song is about wartime PTSD, and how everything you used to know is blurred and lost. you still think there's a "beast" to slay, but there isn't when you come home.

[@israeloliva4201]

Simplemente hermoso el video y con la foto de Matt de niño en el libro me causo mucha gracia jajaja son los mejores sigan asi

[@antoniorodrigues4900]

My favorite song off ITCOTD, I'm really glad that it received a music video. The production and story are flawless!

Honestly thought all the videos and singles were wrapped up after this long after album release, but this song definetly deserves one. Hopefully a new album soon, already ready for that

THis is the SHogun of the last 4 albums. PEAK Trivium songwriting. Chills.

[@shaunsters79]

Why am i getting cold chills and goosebumps listening to this ? WoW what a masterpiece

[@scorpion0498]

Amazing. This might be the only metal band I got into pre 2010 which I still LOVE. Never tire of this music... The calibre at which they write,, play and perform is top fekn tier and honestly, for as long as they've been doin this, I think they are STILL somehow underrated. Love it \m/

[@Chrismagnu]

Ofcourse the song is amazing but the video was aswell! Kind of expect a sequel to this? The ending left me wanting more

I remember the first time I have ever heard this band. It was on yahioo music back in like 2006 or so and I thought it was some of the best music I have ever heard. Then they started touring and then I seen the shirts at Hot Topic. I seen this band when they were playing small clubs in and around Houston, TX with Children of Bodom. I saved what little money I had to go and that was the first time I crowed surfed.. ahhhhhh Those were the days.

[@yeetosis9097]

​@Eheth1958 it's got a lot more of a positive message than you think. This song is basically about overcoming anger and realizing that pursuing the battles that anger causes isn't worth it and will destroy you in the end. Atleast that's what I take from it.
