Ashes of the Abyss by Obituary Pending
Ashes of the Abyss
Verse 1
Born in the shadow of a dying sun
Choked by the lies of what we’ve become
Cathedrals of bone, thrones made of rust
We prayed to the blade, we worshipped the dust
Blackened horizons, skies torn in two
Every promise shattered, every god untrue
I hear the earth screaming under my skin
This is the end we were drowning in
Pre-Chorus
Nails in the coffin of hope and decay
We carved our names just to fade away
No absolution, no guiding light
Only the hunger of endless night
Chorus
From the ashes of the abyss, we rise in flame
Crowned in ruin, baptized in pain
Let the world collapse, let heavens burn
In the void’s embrace, we never return
Verse 2
March of the hollow, eyes cold as stone
Kings of nothing, forever alone
Oceans of fire, rivers of blood
We sowed the seeds, now reap the flood
Chains on our conscience, faith turned to scars
We aimed for the stars, now choke on the dark
Every breath tastes like iron and sin
The war within is where it begins
Pre-Chorus
No saints remain, no sins forgiven
We tore down hell and called it heaven
The bell still tolls, but none will pray
The grave yawns wide, to claim its pay
Chorus
From the ashes of the abyss, we rise in flame
Crowned in ruin, baptized in pain
Let the world collapse, let heavens burn
In the void’s embrace, we never return
Bridge
Burn the past—let it scream
Shatter the lies, desecrate the dream
If this is fate, then carve it deep
We won’t beg, we won’t weep
[Breakdown]
Ash!
Fire!
Fall into the void!
Ash!
Fire!
Hear the abyss rejoice!
Final Chorus
From the ashes of the abyss, we rise in flame
No gods above us, no fear, no shame
When silence reigns and the last light dies
We stand unbroken in the end of time
Outro
No rebirth promised, no peace to miss
Only the echo of the abyss
Ashes to ashes, abyss to all
We rise as the world falls.
