Abide Lyrics: [Intro – low pulsing synth + distant distorted scream] Beacon from the rising tide… [Verse 1 – slow crushing riffs, half-spoken growl] Beacon from the rising tide Captivity has no hold Driven to be bold Equipped to conquer the storm Forging a formidable form Gallantly endures a storm of swords Hardened against the tempest of hordes [Verse 2 – industrial beat kicks in harder] Innovating younglings to take up arms Juxtaposed against he who harms Kindred spirits joining the alliance Liberating the oppressed with defiance [Pre-Chorus – building tension, electronic glitches] Maleficent forces mount their steeds Nestled beasts embed their seeds Obscured utterances weaving spells Punitive measures confine to cells [Chorus – full scream + heavy drop, Manson-level venom] WE ABIDE! (ABIDE!) Through the fire we ride ABIDE! (ABIDE!) Freedom on the rising tide! WE ABIDE! (ABIDE!) Tyrants fall tonight ABIDE! (ABIDE!) The cage dies screaming in the night! [Verse 3 – Tool-style atmospheric riff, heavier] Quarrels echo through the starry night Resounding — equates to epic fight Slithering serpents bruising heels Tyrants rage against kindred zeal [Bridge – whispered then exploding into scream, NIN-style breakdown] Unraveling bewildered captive minds Vexing dark deeds and evil designs Whispers of freedom engulf the air Xenial spirits defeat despair [Guitar/Noise Solo – chaotic industrial shred + synth storm, no clean leads] [Final Chorus – slower, heavier, almost spoken-screamed, massive low end] Younglings now free to wander the land Zealous endeavors upon their hands WE ABIDE! (ABIDE!) Through the storm we ride ABIDE! (ABIDE!) The cage has died WE ABIDE! (WE ABIDE!) Beacon burning black in the rising tide… [Outro – fading mechanical heartbeat + reversed vocals] Beacon… from the rising tide… We… abide.
