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 - เพลง
Dare I say one of the best ABR songs?
It really is a journey. I think it’s my favorite on the album.
imo, it can be easily in the top 10 best ABR songs.
hell yeah it's easily top 15
yes
Premonition was certainly a nice intro song, I'm cool with this
I haven’t even made it through the rest of the album because I can’t get past this song. “From the throne to the thorns.” Yyyyyoooooooooo.
That interlude giving me phantom anthem vibes
Holy shit, I’ve been ignoring this band for so many years and today I decided to give them a chance and wow, i am speechless, what a hell of a song, this song caught me off guard since the very first second and i was instantly blown away
first 4 albums are peak ABR. The recent stuff is just alright. I couldn't get into guardians very much. I felt it was very bland. This new album seems pretty decent though. But to me NOTHING will ever top constellations and Leveler. Phantom Anthem is pretty darn good too. And Found in Far Away places has some good stuff. But go check out constellations and leveler!
Check out their song Invisible Enemy 👌
Same!!!! Its fucking explode my soul...
@@stephensummers1958 Rescue & Restore and Constellations is peak ABR for me. All of their albums are pretty solid, tho, including Death Below.
@@Ryan-qb5wd I do like r&r a lot
Hands down their darkest song to date. I can definitely feel some Black Metal blast beats that Matt engage on this one, which I absolutely love.
The ending, phenomenal 10/10.
I keep rewinding
@@WaLeeZyyy same!
Yeah the last minute is just brilliant
This song caught me off guard and had no right to go this hard. Whole album is phenomenal
best band ever.
I'll tell you what, matt can beat the hell out of a drumset
2:26 hits different for ABR and I absolutely love it.
But then where's the longer solos. Some poeple 😅
Sounds straight out of the 80s... and it's amazing
Have loved ABR since Burner and fell head over heels with Constellation. Never ever a disappointment, and while most bands end up changing their sound over time. ABR has just continued to master and perfect what makes them, them.
The whole song is fantastic but the bit between 5:00-5:15 gives me chills. The double base right there is 🤌🏼
That transition from black metal into post prog is beautiful!
Loving Jake's highs on this! Reminds me of Messengers. Amazing progressive metal track. What an opener!
This is magical
Black metal ✅ Metalcore ✅ Shoe Gaze✅ Death Metal ✅ Thrash ✅ ...engage badassery🤘🔥👍
And that’s what we call metal soup.
🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
🍜
ABSOLUTE BANGER
Unblack metal vibes 🔥🔥
that sounds so sweet, thanks for playing
This epic part may be the all time best of ABR.
I cannot stop listening to this. Absolute Banger.
The intro + this song is a golden example of how to tell a compelling story through song no matter what genre you like. ABR is aging like a fine wine, the most consistent band of all time!
and still all the same members right?
@@joeswanson420 yessir!
@@TheAceOfOnes that's what I was thinking. Not many bands are able to keep all members through all these years(modern metal I mean)
5:30 starts to remind me of Hallelujah. Beautiful.
BlackM august??? 🤘🤘🤘
Wow the energy in this is godly like! Love it
Never been much of a fan before, but this album is damn good. It reminds me of what Killswitch did waaaay back in the day when The End of Heartache came out. Taking a super heavy genre and kinda mainstreaming it a bit. I don't mean that as an insult at all, either. This album slaps.
Incredible work for real 🙌 an absolute masterpiece
Wow just wow 👍👍
Sharptone leveled this band up, OMFG.. idk how im just hearing this? I love this!
One word: f*cking EPIC!
Technically, two words, right?
YEEEESSSSSSS🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I didn’t notice that ABR released new album 😅
HOLY SHIT ITS BLACK METAL
“You begged for relief, now I bring you the cleansing.” Best lyrics off the album. Straight Sodom and Gomorrah vibes. Love it.
A simply phenomenal album
4:46 That part 🥵
Epic
Uuuuuuuuuu Lala the best is yet to come..... From ABR
the bass line at 2:11…f’king power
This is your friendly reminder that Christ took the bullet for you and then overcame death itself by being resurrected so that you’d believe in Him as the proven way out of this mess and “not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
My God this sound is evil goodness
Fuck yes
Anti NWO song
"Te observé desde el cielo
Mientras las poblaciones aumentaban
Festejando en la Tierra como moscas
Asegurando tu ruina
Generaciones repitiendo el patrón
Sus historias contadas pero nunca cambiaron sus mentes
Una vida de excesos, siguiendo alimentando al glotón
Disfrutando de la suciedad como una horda de cerdos
Ven ahora, observa la caída
Rogaste por alivio, ahora te traigo la purificación
Ven ahora, observa la caída
Una plaga de desprecio, un diluvio de dolor
Te observé desde el cielo
Mientras los empobrecidos mueren
No prestes atención a sus gritos
Ahora tiembla mientras me elevo
Siente mis manos pestilentes
Toque pernicioso
Mis brazos ruinosos te abrazan
Mi cuchilla para la horda
Vengando la suciedad, perdonaré a unos pocos (perdonaré a unos pocos)
Solo hace falta uno para encender
Una chispa para emanar
Las masas, pronto despertarán
Sus voces resonarán
Expuesto por lo que soy
No más escondiéndome en las sombras
Soy alabado por las malas hierbas
Estoy condenado al patíbulo
Un héroe de los paganos
Soy un pilar de desesperación
Un abismo vasto y vacío de oscuridad
(Nos encontrarás allí)
Nos encontrarás allí
Mientras avanzo a través de la horda
Insistente en propagar mi rabia
Bajo tierra negra y lágrimas secas
Sus rostros comienzan a cambiar
Un hombre se puso de pie
Su temperamento se negó a ser vencido
Una canción para el fugitivo
La gente, le oyó decir
"Recupera tu voz, alza la cabeza
Y enfoca tus ojos en el cielo
Nuestro tiempo no debe terminar aún
Juntos, juntos, juntos sanaremos
Sanaremos"
Nuestro tiempo no debe terminar aún
Juntos sanaremos
Esta canción es para ustedes, mis amigos
Esta vez, estas vidas, este mundo
Son nuestros para cuidar
Desde el trono hasta las espinas
Te observé desde el cielo
Mientras el sol comienza a salir
Revelando mi disfraz
Finalmente puedo cerrar mis ojos
Ven ahora, observa mi caída
Ven ahora, observa mi caída
Ven ahora, observa mi caída
Mi engaño creó desafío
Ven ahora, observa mi caída
Mi traición llevó a su triunfo"
En resumen, "The Cleansing" parece abordar temas de observación crítica de la sociedad, la necesidad de cambio y la posibilidad de redención o transformación. La canción parece motivar a la gente a ser consciente de sus acciones y trabajar juntos para mejorar la situación y encontrar un camino más positivo hacia adelante.
The only thing I hate is that it ends like that. I need a resolution!
Lyrics for this song are amazing. Like if you know what they are about.
deafheavencore
since when were lorna shore here 🤣
Sounds a lot more like shoegazy black metal than lorna shore
Since right now....
@@Sharpeshooter94 i just saw!!!!! hahaha
Sounds like Black Metal. 🤔
They may be a Christian band but God damn!
They’ve distanced themselves from that label. Some of the band members aren’t even Christian.
@@matthewzang6688That's sad to hear. I didn't know that. If seems a lot of bands I loved listening to that had Christian members have since departed the faith. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop listening to them, but it is somewhat disheartening
@@MayorBucky_Yes, it is.
@@MayorBucky_ I’m an atheist, so it doesn’t bother me either way. I’ve always enjoyed their music, regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof.
@@MayorBucky_ lol “the faith”
I loved them, but somehow their mastering, and washed out sound sounds repetative. McFarland and Slovak, it's your fault 😂 If i listen to the new ABR stuff, it's like putting in a Galactic Empire CD.
Still much Respect to the guys from ABR, they saved my life. Literally.
