Who am I?
Flying blind
Scorching heat, black skies
Dark shadows asking “who am I?”
Left behind, pushed aside
I need order in the chaos when I’m flying blind
I know the way (you better pray)
I’ve done enough (you won’t measure up)
Looked down upon by the masses
Unending streams of ruined dreams
Empty accolades feel like razor blades
Leaving me wanting more
Never sure of my standing
My trembling feet can’t find the floor
No matter what I do
I feel I have something to prove
In a world where right and wrong don’t belong
There is no sense of what is justified
The higher I climb the further I fall
The hand that held me then now holds me down
Judgement day means reckoning for you
Give me your time
Sit down and talk
No one to point the blame when no one’s at fault
My disaster began when I looked up
On that day, all I’ve done
My disaster began when I looked up
I was both compelled and condemned
I struggle so hard
I do my best
How can I find a single solitary day of rest
Is it what you’ve done, or what you’ll do in me
I need to know so I will find peace
Belief is believing what you cannot see
Giving all you’ve got out of all that you need
Endless arguments with myself
All that remains is the shame
There’s no case to be made
Punched into total darkness.
If what I’ve done imprisons me
Then your will sets me free
The villages are crumbling down
Making right what’s wrong won’t make the lost found
Theres an arbiter
No one escapes
The standard we have for others will be our fate
I’ll swallow down the words you serve me graciously
I’ve done this all before
I’ll hold it all inside until I break away
I’m tearing down the door
The fear cannot contain us all
I’ll make the cut just deep enough to sting
I just wanna break free
Rip your claws from my side
I won’t just die quietly while you prey on the innocent
I will break free
The reckoning won’t bring you hope
Death below on a tightrope
Take your hands off your life
It won’t consume you
The altar will give you life and not kill you
I set my sights on the impossible
Endless debt making grace unstoppable

Spencer Chamberlain from UNDEROATH WOWWWWWWW
A masterpiece
This is just soo damn perfect.
I found these guys in 2007 while I was in the Army, thanks to the loader on my tank plugging his mp3 player into the crew comms. ABR comes on right when we hit the range…the most epic stuff to play as you are rolling down a range in a 70 ton beast, engaging targets with main gun. We was vibbing so hard, my TC left it playing to whole run. We shot top tank on that run with a 980/1000 score. They have and will forever hold a place in my heart for that experience…and are a solid #2 on the best metal bands to ever exist…Amon Amarth will always be #1 sorry.
Best so far. It has some strange depressing impact which I love. Dope AF
i cant fuckin believe this !!!!! fuckin epic
Masterpiece
I have no idea how a band can make a genre better when they already perfected it Oh yeah, august burns red!! 🤘
Think I need some more ABR merch
Death Below is such an emotional rollercoaster for me. These songs hit home a little to hard 🥹
How is it that heaven sounds like this pure joy?
bruh. 3:40 is heavy af, i love this!
I really don’t care about anyone that says wrong about this song. Musically and artistically, it is other worldly.
Underoath was my all time favorite band growing up, then I found August Burns Red not too far after that. And now ABR and Spencer did a song together, dreams do come true
ABR can't make a bad song!!!
I’m happy they haven’t sold out like Underoath did
A bit generic. Sounds like everything they've done before. Still solid tho
Like you guys never skipped a beat. You guys managed to show up ten years later and sound like like August Burns Red from then. Still in your prime. Still sounds good and sounds like you're still inspired. Don't stop. Honestly surprised and impressed by the new stuff. IStill get chills from seventh trumpet meridian and indonesia to this day.
This is what August burn shred should've been doing after constellations. Perfect direction.
Wasn’t really feeling this song the first time I heard it, but now I can’t stop listening. Just like Provision.
6:12 – 6:37Is giving me Animals as Leaders vibes. Is that you Matt Garstka?
Slowly fought my way back to christ. The world truly hates me now, but not as much as they hate themselves and the condemnation they stack on their own shoulders.
crazy part is they are just as solid live as in the studio
Good to see a band building up a label for a change.
If no one knows this, the lyrics of this song deeply and incredibly Christian. You should read them and try to figure them out.
Underoath brought me here
Wow man.. long time august burns fan. This is just unreal how amazing this song is
Amazing song, but they messed up with this video. ABR deserves better. What the heck SharpTone!?
Makes me think of August and how it can be hot and the burning red sun and smokey haze of forest fires
New personal record after years of listening to ABR; stank face @ 0:10 and started form the beginning @ 0:16
The lyrics!
The music!
The song length!
EPIC!!!
Amazing video
2:36 snapped my neck
Best song I've heard from them in years. I haven't heard anything that I like better than the constellations sound/album yet, but damn this is good.
Wow😮
I love it. 😘
Hm.. Who am I?
This songs gets better and better with every single listen. This was probably my tenth listen, including some reactionary videos. Wow, such intricate details. It's just beautifully heavy.
