DEVILDRIVER
"Oath Of The Abyss"
(John Boecklin / DevilDriver / Dez Fafara / Jeff Kendrick / Mike Spreitzer)

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 in not the law!
Not the law!

[Chorus 2x:]
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

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 in not the law!
Not the law!

[Chorus 2x:]
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

[2x:]
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!

[Chorus 2x:]
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

Time to enlist!
