Oath of the Abyss Songtext
von DevilDriver

In these depths of desperate despair
We bring down judgment from the sky with prayers
I drank till the waters turned whiskey rye
I drank till the waters run dry
Don′t be the one to come knocking at my door
Hell no, I won't pick you up off the floor
Don′t come here with blood in your filthy mouth
I wasn't there when the deal went south

You sold me out
I sold myself in
I picked up the claw
You dealt me out
I dealt myself in
And love is not the law
Not the law


Black moon, the omen is here (darkness looms)
There's fear the end could come too soon
Pale as a ghost, what you see? What you know?
Time to enlist the oath of the abyss
Black moon, the omen is here
Darkness looms, it′s the fear
Pale as a ghost, what you see? What you know?
Time to enlist the oath of the abyss

Fuck your rapture, can′t you see it's never coming
So better watch where you place the blame, place the blame
You left me on the inside scarred
You′re digging up the corpses, digging up graves
Don't be the one to come knocking at my door
Hell no, I won′t pick you up off the floor
Don't come here with blood in your filthy mouth
I wasn′t there when the deal went south

You sold me out
I sold myself in
I picked up the claw
You dealt me out
I dealt myself in
And love is not the law
Not the law


Black moon, the omen is here (darkness looms)
There's fear the end could come too soon
Pale as a ghost, what you see? What you know?
Time to enlist the oath of the abyss
Black moon, the omen is here
Darkness looms, it's the fear
Pale as a ghost, what you see? What you know?
Time to enlist the oath of the abyss

Take the oath, the oath of the abyss
Take the oath, it′s time to enlist
Take the oath, the oath of the abyss
Take the oath, it′s time to enlist
Time to enlist

Take the oath, the oath of the abyss
Take the oath, it's time to enlist

Black moon, the omen is here (darkness looms)
There′s fear the end could come too soon
Pale as a ghost, what you see? What you know?
Time to enlist the oath of the abyss
Black moon, the omen is here
Darkness looms, it's the fear
Pale as a ghost, what you see? What you know?
Time to enlist the oath of the abyss

Time to enlist
