Chasm of Command

Intro

(Uh!)

Verse 1

Red dust chokes the breath, behind the pharaoh's roar

A thousand spear points shimmer, on this forgotten shore

No retreat, no turning, a wall of rock and fear

Before us, the oblivion, the ocean drawing near

A chasm in the conscience, a burden on the soul

To speak the word of sundering, to make the waters whole

Or cleave them into columns, a path for us to tread

Between the churning violence, and the legions of the dead

Pre-Chorus

Pressure mounts, a tremor deep, within the very bone

The sea breathes its cold promise, a monstrous, watery throne

Their cries are closing in now, a hunter's hateful sound

Is this the final promise? Or just more blood in ground?

Chorus

Chasm of Command – where the sky will meet the flood

Dividing fury – written in our very blood

Wall of brine and terror – an impossible divide

Is the faith within me strong enough to turn the tide?

Verse 2

Mirage of salvation, a trick of sun and spray

The weight of countless bodies, that I must lead astray

Or toward a brutal freedom, through trenches of the deep

While Egypt's hungry vengeance, their bitter harvest reaps

Each splash a solemn question, each gale a searing doubt

To claim a monstrous miracle, or let the flame go out

Between the crashing breakers, and the thunder of their march

A single, fractured moment, beneath a burning arch

Pre-Chorus

Pressure mounts, a tremor deep, within the very bone

The sea breathes its cold promise, a monstrous, watery throne

Their cries are closing in now, a hunter's hateful sound

Is this the final promise? Or just more blood in ground?

Chorus

Chasm of Command – where the sky will meet the flood

Dividing fury – written in our very blood

Wall of brine and terror – an impossible divide

Is the faith within me strong enough to turn the tide?

Guitar Solo

Bridge

No gentle hand can guide this, no soft appeal can sway

Only raw, unyielding power, to cleave the darkest way

The monstrous maw of water, will it swallow us whole?

Or will this impossible chasm, forge a broken, righteous soul?

Outro

Broken, righteous soul – the tide begins to turn

Broken, righteous soul – watch the oceans burn

Broken, righteous soul – a path in gaping waves

Broken, righteous soul – through liquid, silent graves.
