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
I RAN to this video when I saw the announcement lol
Right?! Christian Deathcore lol
Same
@@taconoodle88You say that like Christian Deathcore is not a thing 😂
Another song you should check out is Darkbloom by We Came as Romans and Brand of Sacrifice. Definitely not a collab you would expect. But it turned out excellent!!!
This butters my biscuits
Now add that honey sauce 👌🏻
Soooo much butter dripping all over my biscuits
This melts my butter
This churns my butter
@Poodlefang89 in my 25 years of life I never thought to put honey until I went visit my best friend in Tennessee and he made me biscuits with honey and I've missed out lol
I saw the word "the cleansing" so my dumbass thought it would be a suicide silence cover 💀
ngl... so did I for a split second.
I’ve come to bear this shame to you all, I too thought this was going to be a SS cover
Same😅
Bro is NOT tapped in with August Burns Red😭
@@jensletsslay yo it's a banger give me another chance 😭
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 😂
You are not wrong lol
@Bleepbloopblappp glad you replied. Now i get to hear it again 😆🤘
I know I was like where's Will?? Oh shit THERE HE IS
@@HiThereFaceHereMORE!
I'm amazed by ABR's consistency over 2 freaking decades! Their earliest music still holds up today and they somehow keep improving
For real. They're honestly the best metalcore band to ever do it.
I definitely agree. ABR is without a doubt an amazing band.
Yep. Been listening almost the whole time and the old stuff and the new stuff blends perfectly on a binge
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.
Seriously though! This is easily one of their heaviest and adding that extra layer is insane!
Yup, this is definitely their darkest song in my opinion, at least for the first 2/3. The song then picks up a more positive tone and lyrical direction towards the end though.
Just his Line , reached the peak
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
Any musician can practice there instrumental for years and get good but vocals are different , you can improve but its either you have it or not
@@metalheadblues Eh, sort of. There is some biology to it, but anyone can be a good singer if they have a good teacher and stick to it. Most people don't have the time, or don't want to commit to it that much, though. It's a lot of boring exercises, just like working out any muscle.
U should listen to lorna shore or infant annihilator that is crazy 😂
@@VanskickGianniLOrdI was going to say something about AI because Will supposedly got help from them & Eddie from SS
It’s just practice. Harsh vocals are fairly easy to learn. Singing is the hard one lol
Bro an 8 minute track with Will Ramos??? You already know it's gonna be a banger
def wasnt a banger at all
@@powerliftergrows3576 disagree, but I respect your opinion
@@powerliftergrows3576 i agree with you. i get people love Will and his band but he didnt add anything to this. its actually better the way it was.
...you didn't listen to the newalabam??
Listen to darko us
the transition to Will Ramos's vocals at 3:24 is sooo cleaannn.
And oh so epic
Definitely. I was like yeeee there's Will!
blew the top of my head off holy
"You'll find me there" 🙏😎 Just perfect!!! 👌
🤤
NOONE SAW THIS COMING 💯💯
except the leaks for about a week now
No one*
Ironic *
Ok now announce a co-headlining tour together!!
I would absolutely lose my shit.
Call it "The As Above, So Is Below tour", or something like that
And then invite diamonds to dust!
Well since I just saw ABR with Spite and BOS I know it could easily be done
@@joshbohrer2612Same!!
My favorite band collabing with one of my favorite vocalist. Incredible
20 years of consistency, here's to another 20 more
what a week with ERRA's new album, new songs from MTS and Architects and now this 🔥
And new patient 67 and alpha wolf 🎉
And last week we got Knocked Loose and Better Lovers on the same day 🤘🏻 what a year so far
Poo bands tbh This is probably better than all the others
@@Fakewhack-st8fl you must be fun at parties
For real 🤘
The shift to major around 5:00 is always my favorite part of ABR songs tbh
Not familiar with ABR so it was a bit surprising but it's nice, a positive shift for resolution is so nice
Exactly. It all started with Cutting The Ties a long time ago. :)
100 percent man. It brings the light back into focus.
@@neilkenneth859I’d say it started with Meddler from Constellations
@@rhettehlis4155 Meddler is straight C minor all the way. There's no key change.
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. 🔥
Also, I see a ton of reactors and comments missing the fact that Will also comes in at the 1:19 mark of the song. He comes in at 1:19, 3:26, 7:36.
Will def contributed a ton to this song and I'm all for it.
I'm about to ruin it. Sorry for asking for more but, Imagine hearing both their voices/screaming at the same time for certain parts. Kind of like Signal Fire from Killswitch.
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
This absolutely slaps. It has that nostalgic ABR sound, but Will's technicals. Love it
This song will be the theme song to the apocalypse.
Funny I felt like they were 1 Samuel 6-7
This might be their best work. This piece of art is simply stunning!
August Burns Shore. Tight.
Lorna burns red* 😂
Lmaoo
My first reaction when I saw the title of the video was WHAT!!!!!
damn good thing to wake up to
I'm a simple man. I see new abr and I click.
The transition to the more uplifting instrumental is beautiful 😩😩
Hearing wills voice on anything is crazy! Like just puts a smile on my face. He deserves all the success!
My only issue is this song is 8 damn minutes! They ain't have to do all that! Lmao
@@chantelneko3178it's an artform and some people do not understand the beauty that is presented.
New Erra, Alpha Wolf, Make Them Suffer and now this, all in the same week. Guys please my ears can only take some much pounding in such a short time😂❤
and architects :)
I know right!
Good year for metal
I did not like Erra new album
@@Thanoswasright11yeah I’ve loved them for years, and that was probs the least favorite of their releases.
This brings back a 2014 vibe that I have missed so much
Two of the infinity stones have been united!
one thing I've always appreciated about ABR is their ability to groove aggressively
pretty badass that its an 8 minute song too, you hardly see that anymore bro. dude, when that "YOU'LL FIND ME THERE" came in, i died☠️
legend has it Nik Nocturnal is learning this as we speak
“From the the throne, to the thorns” such a powerful message in this song. 20 years strong gentlemen.
I woke up today, got a cup of coffee like every day, then sat down and thought "wonder if there is anything new on the youtubes this morning" wow was I surprised. Thank you August Burns Red and Will Ramos. This was a perfect pairing with my morning coffee, and instant add to my favorites on Spotify.
Literally me on porch drinking coffee 4 min in
Normal people: ahhh coffee time let’s turn on some acoustic jams Metal heads: ahhh coffee time let’s turn on some screamy screamy and headbang
Matt Greiner going ham on the drums
Poor bro 🤣
Will drops into an already hard track like a dropkick square to the chest. What an absolute unit.
Will Ramos voice, biblically accurate angel.
This should be played in a museum somewhere
OH SHEESH THE GROWLLSSSS
If they announce a tour together, that would be splendid.
Dustin's bass sounds incredible on this one
Holy fucking god, that bass dudeee. What a great track.
Actually a part with Will is one of the best I’ve heard from ABR. Don’t get me wrong, ABR is amazing band, but I have always wondered what if they go a little bit harder? And oh boi, they did.
Literally my two favorite bands together🔥🔥🔥
Okay this is a legendary collab.
Fucking masterpiece…almost gave me Between the buried and me vibes with metalcore breakdowns. Job well done fellas 🤌🏻
from all the metalcore bands i used to listen, ABR are still staying true and heavy!
August Burns Ramos 🔥🤘
Great vocal performance by Will Ramos as usual, and a fitting August Burns Red track for his style.
Do not stop this collab
This shivers me timbers!!!
The collab I was not expecting to hear this morning. Ramos adds extra 🔥 🤘🏻
That little jam session in the bridge there was wonderful
you did WHAT
3:42 love the transition to golem, did not expect it 🙌
This really toasts my bread
Hell yes. Eyes wide open.
🔥 *August Burns Ramos* 🔥 Lorna Shore + ABR tour next??
This is exactly how we wrote music in my day. So beauty FuggnEh cheers 🇨🇦 🍁
To be honest, I haven't listened to any ABR since the release of Constellations. That was more than a decade ago. Today this song appears on my Spotify Release Radar and I was blown away! I was like, wow, I wonder how much I've been missing for all these years.
Lots of good stuff. All of it really.
never thought this was missing in my life
It took me a couple of days to prepare to listen to this work of art. I still can't believe that August Burns Red and Will Ramos were in the same song. The original is beautiful. But this version is gold.
ABR has been solid from the beginning and even now. Always consistent. This is why I love them
I still remember the first time I heard your little suburbia is in ruins in like 2003 or sometimes around then! Absolutely insane! These guys are the goats of this genre and all relative genres
I didn't think this was real honestly. So happy it is❤
ABR + Will Ramos = YOU’LL FIND ME THERE ❤
Dang son. The combo I didn't know I needed.
4:42 simply amazing.
This is everything.
Jeez, I had MASSIVE goosebumps. This is not a banger, this is a B A N G E R!
ABR with heavy growl. ABR with zombie scream. You made my day!
matt is such a beast
I have the goosebumps
Beautiful , Ma'am/Sirs..
Well, one of my favorite bands and my favorite vocalist together. About to wear this song out. That break with Will Ramos gives me chills every time. Dude has to be the most talented guys in Metal right now.
Oh my goodness gracious. Will added another depth to ABR I didn’t know I needed 😮
This SLAPS SO HARD, give it up for The Cleansing!
This made my day… no week… probably the year actually. Fuck it this song rips
Brooooooooo let's go!!!
This song makes me enjoy my shirt getting caught on the door handle when I’m upset already 👌
YEEESSSS 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you for your music!
What really blows my mind is you guys are still what I need even after all these years! Makes me Really miss cornerstone music festival!
The collaboration we never saw coming, but we couldn’t have wanted it more. ❤
will slayed as always
I have listened to this song so many times since I first heard it a week ago
I felt my chest collapse at 3:26 when Will comes in. FUCK!
Yess yess yesssssss
one of the best deathcore collabs ever
This isn't deathcore, it's metalcore. 😅
Willll!!! 🖤
The transition and breakdown didn’t disappoint at all
Speechless🔥
Better than Death and Below
Banger, stunning vocals
Praise the Lord
MORE PLEASE!!!!
Perfect Combo! Cheers and Love from sweden. day one fan of both of you.
Hearing August burns red with Will is crazy!
Another ABR song thats great. Surprised? Will Ramos sounds like Gollum from the lord of the rings and I love it. Killer song and lyrics.
Absolutely awesome. This song was already the standout off this album, but now it's even more insane. Forgot I was listening to a new version of it, and then Will came in and scared the hell out of me. I absolutely love the lyrics of this song - the story it tells, the message behind it - but I always felt like it went a little under-appreciated by most fans that I'd seen online. Hopefully this version changes that.
