The Abyss

[Intro] [Verse] Man after man, born and gone, We keep the beat and we pass it on. Don’t call it curse, don’t call it grace, Just rhythm pulsing through empty space. [Chorus] We look into the abyss, (yeah we do, we do, we do) We are the abyss, (movin’ through, movin’ through) We are you and me. The high sun bleeding into the sea, Red wake raining down behind its dying heat. [Guitar Solo] [Verse] O mortal tide, we flow and fade, Every dance, the same parade. We chase the gods we build inside, But the music’s where they hide. [Verse] Every breath is a kind of prayer, Every move, a fight with air. So wind your waist, and let it spin. The world won’t end, it just begins. [Chorus] We look into the abyss, (yeah we do, we do, we do) We are the abyss, (movin’ through, movin’ through) We breathe, we move, we live the spin The end’s the place we begin again. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] And when your eyes burned white, You saw what the gods never could. That they were us, blind and laughing, That nothing waits but the seeing, That the seeing is the fire. [Final Chorus / Outro] We look into the abyss, (yeah we do, we do, we do) We are the abyss, (movin’ through, movin’ through) Dragging the gods down with our sight. Light pouring out of nothing… Nothing [Verse] Step by step, we walk this ground, Every footfall makes a sound. Not of triumph, not of pain, Just the same old chain. [Final Chorus / Outro] We look into the abyss, (yeah we do, we do, we do) We are the abyss, (movin’ through, movin’ through) Dragging the gods down with our sight. Light pouring out of nothing… Nothing, blazing into light. [Fade Out to End]
