the abyss

August Burns Red

Throw away all of your doubts before they lead you astray
Cast aside
All of your apprehensions used to be amplified

Begin the expedition into parts unknown
An adventure that leads us far away from home
Take a chance on discovery
Leaving your old ways behind
Take a chance on discovery
And you will learn what s inside

We are so resilient
Your breakthrough is near
It s the new frontier

Take a plunge into the darkness
Let its roots trace a map towards the answers you ll uncover
Clarity creates our concepts
We ve unlocked an endless spectrum of color
So bright we can t see right before our eyes
If we are balanced, the edge is where we ll realize
Thrown to the threshold to learn who we ll be
How we return remains to be seen

Will we build on the foundation?
Will we fulfill our obligation?

Lo and behold
A palette of your own
Spill out your soul
The void will become your canvas

No longer stranded like explorers
Who ve succumb to weakness

Oppose the opposition
Leave your doubt behind
Impair the indecision
Your frame of mind redefined

Fighting our way through the abyss
We ll carry on, we re more ambitious
We were once so defenseless
Dragging us down made us resistant

Fighting our way through the abyss
We ll carry on, we re more ambitious
We were once so defenseless
Won t drag us down, we ll resist
