When a man has lost it all
Staring into the abyss
When there is nothing staring back at him
When there is nothing left to miss

This is where he finds his character
This is where he finds himself
Defining his very soul
Takes his manhood off the shelf

Either rise to the occasion
Or stand and burn out
Time to solve the equation
Find out what he’s all about

You see a man needs to be tested
To find out who he is
Can’t learn anything rested
Problems need to be his

Only character will keep him out of the abyss
Only the abyss will bring out his character
Fate will lay upon him its deadly kiss
And wholeheartedly shape who he is

So the abyss is but a friend
That takes a man by the hand
Through the struggles of his life
From the abyss comes his stand
