[Verse 1: Joe Byerly]

I said that I would live

I am close to death

I said that I'd be strong

I'm being torn apart

I said that I'd keep moving

Reach the journey's end

I'm drifting on the wind

[Verse 2: Joe Byerly]

I said that I'd protect

The helpless and the weak

But eyes are turned to ash

Arrows find their mark

At any given moment

The few that I have saved

Could find an early grave

[Chorus: Joe Byerly]

The Honor Chasm calls to me

Echoes never fade away

Every day I'm closer to falling

It's getting harder and harder to stay

[Verse 3: Joe Byerly]

I said that I'd protect

Even thosе I hate

But I cannot choose a side

In my brokеn state

Singer and soldier

The traitor I can't face

I'm frozen in place

[Chorus: Joe Byerly]

The Honor Chasm calls to me

Echoes never fade away

Every day I'm closer to falling

It's getting harder and harder

[Verse 4: Joe Byerly]

You were there for me

On the darkest days

But you did not run and hide

You made the weak feel brave

You needed your brother

I found you all too late

[Harmony: Joe Byerly, Sharon Byerly]

There are words I cannot say

I know the words that I must say

There are words I cannot say

There are words that you must say

I know the words that I must say

What are the words that you must say?

[Bridge: Joe Byerly]

I'll keep on fighting

But I accept

That there will be those I

Cannot protect

I'll keep on fighting

But I accept

That there will be those I

Cannot protect

[Chorus: Joe Byerly]

The Honor Chasm called to me

Echoes slowly fade away

Some days I'll be closer to falling

But I'm finding the reasons

The Honor Chasm called to me

Echoes slowly fade away

Some days I'll be closer to falling

But I'm finding the reasons

To stay
