Abandon Us is the lead single from Bury Tomorrow’s forthcoming seventh album, aptly titled The Seventh Sun.
The song is the first release shortly following the releases of Death (Ever Colder) and Life (Paradise Denied) earlier the same year.

Pray in the fire, peace in the wild
See the world clearly as the flames rise higher
Chaos contained, the heart remains
All your flesh is burning but you can't feel the pain
I'm telling you now, we were left for dead
We were left for dead, we were left for dead
I'm telling you now, we were left for dead
We were lеft for dead
How could they do that to us?
Removе the veil and the doubt
They'll see the worst of us now (Why?)
Turned their back to cast out
How could they do that to us? (Pray)
Face the pain and push down
Not all lost can be found (Why?)
Forced to break and cast out
How could they do that to us?
You abandoned us completely
Alone condemned to walk the plains
As vultures feed on what remains
Of our descent
You know we did it to ourselves
If we're condemned to walk the plains
Where vultures feed on what remains
Of our descent
You know who did it to us so
Pray in the fire, peace in the wild
See the world clearly as the flames rise higher
Chaos contained, the heart remains
All your flesh is burning but you can't feel the pain
Reveling in our own sick selfishness
Consequential insignificance
Reveling in our own sick selfishness
Forever denying our right to exist
Alone condemned to walk the plains
As vultures feed on what remains
Of our descent
You know we did it to ourselves
If we're condemned to walk the plains
As vultures feed on what remains
Of our descent
You know we did it to ourselves
Remove the veil and the doubt
They'll see the worst of us now
Turned their back to cast out
How could they do that to us?
Remove the veil and the doubt
They'll see the worst of us now
You turned your back
You fucking abandoned us
You fucking abandoned us
How could you do that to us?
You fucking abandoned us

Dani Winter-Bates:
Lots of people connotate the title with our lineup change, but it’s not actually about that. This is about the fact that we, as humans, operate in a very negative and consumerist light. We take and we take and we take, and then we leave for dead. For me, the ethos of our band is...
