Verse 1
Underneath the overpass, water running black (black)
Coiled copper wire in a canvas sack (sack)
Soot on my knuckles, diesel in the teeth
Clean world above, but I rule underneath (neath)
Pre-Chorus
Drop down low where the sirens bend
Follow the pipe to the dead-line end
Feel that rumble in the broken shoe
The pit ain't empty, it's looking at you (you)
Chorus
Echoes in the abyss, let the concrete shout (shout)
Scrape along the bottom till the light burns out (out)
Down where the dirt don't lie, give the dark its kiss (kiss)
We live in the fracture, echoes in the abyss (abyss)
Verse 2
Rebar spikes sticking out of the wall (wall)
Generators humming in the sunken hall (hall)
Blown subwoofer rattling the metal grate
I don't ask for mercy, I accelerate (rate)
Mud on the boot, black frost on the bone
Ugliness lasts when the beauty is gone (gone)
Pre-Chorus
Drop down low where the sirens bend
Follow the pipe to the dead-line end
Feel that rumble in the broken shoe
The pit ain't empty, it's looking at you (you)
Chorus
Echoes in the abyss, let the concrete shout (shout)
Scrape along the bottom till the light burns out (out)
Down where the dirt don't lie, give the dark its kiss (kiss)
We live in the fracture, echoes in the abyss (abyss)
Bridge
No sky to judge me, no sun to burn (burn)
Ten feet under where the turbines turn (turn)
Call it a ditch, but I made it a throne
Nothing can break what is already stone (stone)
Chorus
Echoes in the abyss, let the concrete shout (shout)
Scrape along the bottom till the light burns out (out)
Down where the dirt don't lie, give the dark its kiss (kiss)
We live in the fracture, echoes in the abyss (abyss)
