Music & Lyrics by JB Brubaker
I watched you from the sky
As populations rise
Feasting on Earth like flies
Ensuring your demise
Generations repeating the pattern
Their stories told but never changed their minds
A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton
Bask in filth like a hoard of swine
Come now, watch the fall
You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing
Come now, watch the fall
A plague of contempt, a down pouring of pain
I’ve watched you from the sky
As the impoverished die
Pay no heed to their cries
Now tremble as I rise
Feel my pestilent hands
Pernicious touch
My ruinous arms embracing you
My blade to the hoard
Avenging the dirt, I’ll spare but few
It takes but one to make
A spark to emanate
The masses, soon to wake
Their voices resonate
Exposed for who I am
No more hiding in the shadows
I’m praised by the weeds
I’m cursed to the gallows
A hero of the heathens
I’m a pillar of despair
A vast and vacant chasm of darkness
You’ll find me there
You’ll find me there
As I move on through the hoard
Insistent on spreading my rage
Underneath black dirt and dried up tears
Their faces begin to change
A man rose to his feet
His temper refused defeat
A song for the runaway
The people, they heard him say
“Take back your voice
Lift your heads
And focus your eyes on the sky
Our time must not yet end
Together we will mend
We will mend
Our time must not yet end
Together we will mend
This song’s for you my friends
This time, these lives, this world
Is ours to tend”
From the throne to the thorns
I’ve watched you from the sky
As the sun starts to rise
Revealing my disguise
I can finally close my eyes
Come now, watch my fall
Come now, watch my fall
Come now, watch my fall
My deceit created defiance
Come now, watch my fall
My treachery led to their triumph

Two names i never expected to see together. This is awesome
-
This butters my biscuits
-
That transition to Will was fucking BRILLIANT!!!! I haven't had cold chills like that in years!!! Damn bro I had to remember to breathe 😂
-
Bro an 8 minute track with Will Ramos??? You already know it's gonna be a banger
-
I'm amazed by ABR's consistency over 2 freaking decades! Their earliest music still holds up today and they somehow keep improving
-
This track already considered to be ABR's darkest track to date, but never thought it could get much darker by adding Will Ramos(Lorna Shore) in it.
-
the transition to Will Ramos's vocals at 3:24 is sooo cleaannn.
-
Even after Will showed in a couple of videos how he does his vocals it's inconprehensible how those noises can come from a human
-
Ok now announce a co-headlining tour together!!
-
NOONE SAW THIS COMING 💯💯
-
what a week with ERRA's new album, new songs from MTS and Architects and now this 🔥
-
I saw the word "the cleansing" so my dumbass thought it would be a suicide silence cover 💀
-
The shift to major around 5:00 is always my favorite part of ABR songs tbh
-
Everyone stating Will doesn’t add anything to this is wild. This reminds me of the dual vocals they did in Carpe Diem. Wills voice is meant to add another dimension to the sections where the darker voice is spoken. And I’m all here for it. This was already a banger before, it’s a whole new level now. 🔥
-
20 years of consistency, here's to another 20 more
-
My favorite band collabing with one of my favorite vocalist. Incredible
-
This song will be the theme song to the apocalypse.
-
August Burns Shore. Tight.
-
YES! I’ll be honest, I never saw this coming ABR + Will Ramos = Masterpiece
-
This just further proved to me that Will Ramos needs to voice a lovecraftian monster either in a video game or in a horror movie
