"Chasm" was the fourth single pulled from Memento Mori, Flyleaf's 2009 second album, and it went up for digital download in September 2010. It's alternative metal with a sermon inside, drawn from a New Testament parable, the story of Lazarus and the rich man: a rich man in hell looks up to see the beggar who once scrounged crumbs from under his table sitting beside Abraham. He begs for Lazarus to cool his tongue with a wet fingertip, then for Lazarus to go back and warn his brothers, and both pleas are refused. A wide chasm divides them, and anyone deaf to Moses and the prophets won't be moved by a man back from the dead either.
Giles Timms directed, drew and animated the video, which premiered on Vevo a few days before the download arrived.
