Death Below by August Burns Red - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Intro]

Left behind

 

[Verse 1]

You chose to leave

Now it looks like you're leaving your family

There's a cavern in your ribs

Where your heart used to be

I've been picking up what's left of you

Connecting your pieces to my memories

Hoping they would ignite some sentiment

But they won't inspire sympathy

 

[Verse 2]

The hollow point may have ripped you apart

You disregard the damage you'd impart

Rest in peace to our ancestry

That you maimed and left scarred

My judgement is clouded by the blood we share

 

[Chorus: Jesse Leach & Jake Luhrs]

We built our truth (Our truth)

On top of all these lies

I still see the good in life

It's not the end (It's not the end)

Although you see the light

I'll see you on the other side

 

 

[Post-Chorus: Jesse Leach]

Maybe one day you'll care

But it's not my cross to bear

 

[Verse 3: Jake Luhrs]

I didn't skip a beat

When I heard the news that you

You couldn't make it to your feet

All I have is apathy

Just another day

Of not knowing what to believe

Another tale, another story

A lifetime of perjury

I wish I had the words to say I love you

I'm not sure I understand what those mean

When I'm thinking of you

I have no words for you

 

[Verse 4]

When I needed you, you wouldn't even hear it

You made your choices

You'll live with them even if we're gone

 

[Verse 5]

It's impossible to find what's real in all these fables

Unable to see through the resentment you've enabled

The hurt that you inflicted on yourself

Won't amount to the pain of everyone else

I always wanted things to be different

Although you see the light

I'll see you on the other side

 

 

[Chorus: Jesse Leach & Jake Luhrs]

We built our truth (Our truth)

On top of all these lies

I still see the good in life (The good in life)

It's not the end (It's not the end)

Although you see the light

I'll see you on the other side (The other side)

Although you see the light

I'll see you on the other side

6 ContributorsFool’s Gold in the Bear Trap LyricsThere is a world out there

That doesn't care about the problems in your head

The disbelief you can't conceive

Is what clouds your thoughts with dread

Backstabbers roam the streets

Prowling for their next kill

Disregard for human life powers how they feel

Fool's gold in the bear trap

Line them up and watch their legs snap one by one

Skip every step you'll be left standing on the crack

But it's breaking your back

Like following a map but scrapping every part

Except for thе "X"

Don't make significant decisions

Based on thе path of least resistance

5 ContributorsDeadbolt LyricsYou watched your aspirations

Laid to waste, ground up, and evaporated

Destined to be trampled and ignored

The air in the room has made them sink to the floor

 

Everyone is shouting for more

More shock and disbelief

Glued to the screen

Instead of finding solutions

There's one in front of us

We're used to devastation

A new standard of complete isolation

 

We are lost in our own homes

We start wandering sometimes

We are hiding from all hope

When we're missing in our own minds

 

How much longer will it take to find the answers to your mistake?

We are all paying the price for them every second of every single day

 

The clock is counting down

Now we've learned you're the time bomb

Our patience has run out

 

Pacing so much we are burning holes in the planks

The flames flicker right before us

Stuck in a trance we don't notice them advance

They overtake the silence

 

 

We are lost in our own homes

We start wandering sometimes

We are hiding from all hope

When we're missing in our own minds

 

Did the stars fail to guide your way (We are lost)

Circling you in infinity? (In our homes)

Even if you follow the sun you can go astray (We are hiding)

It's so hard to believe it's happening (From all hope)

 

The warnings fell on deaf ears

But they crushed us into cowards filled with fear

 

Sound the alarm

We'll sit here in silence

We aren't safe in our own minds

Like being trapped in a living landmine

5 ContributorsThe Abyss LyricsThrow 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
