August Burns Red - Martyr lyrics
[August Burns Red - Martyr lyrics]
Demand what you will never deserve
Respect is gained by trust shown and earned
Don't mask your pride with humility
While forcing others to keep
Proving their loyalty
You've been a hypocrite for years
Drawing swords as much as
You draw their tears
Demand what you will never deserve
Respect is gained by trust shown and earned
You build your strength, off of your anger
Fighting a selfish battle, with no answer
Your transparency, has started showing
Don't let fear guide you, where you are going
You would die for everyone else
But, you won't live for yourself
Do you mean what you say?
Do you say what you mean?
Or will you find another lie?
Another lie to hide behind?
Keep speaking to the world about
What you can't forget you can't forget
All the things you hold onto
Refusing to forgive those that hurt you
You're taking steps on a fine line
So you don't have to choose a side
Good deeds are not recognized
When the heart's intent is full of pride
You're taking steps on a fine line
So you don't have to choose a side
Good deeds are not recognized
When the heart's intent is full of pride
One day we hope you stop holding it on all in
And learn, learn to let go and to forgive
Forgive
One day we hope you stop holding it on all in
And learn, learn to let go and to forgive
Forgive
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day
One day we hope you stop holding it on all in
And learn, learn to let go and to forgive
Forgive
Respect is gained by trust shown and earned
Don't mask your pride with humility
While forcing others to keep
Proving their loyalty
You've been a hypocrite for years
Drawing swords as much as
You draw their tears
Demand what you will never deserve
Respect is gained by trust shown and earned
You build your strength, off of your anger
Fighting a selfish battle, with no answer
Your transparency, has started showing
Don't let fear guide you, where you are going
You would die for everyone else
But, you won't live for yourself
Do you mean what you say?
Do you say what you mean?
Or will you find another lie?
Another lie to hide behind?
Keep speaking to the world about
What you can't forget you can't forget
All the things you hold onto
Refusing to forgive those that hurt you
You're taking steps on a fine line
So you don't have to choose a side
Good deeds are not recognized
When the heart's intent is full of pride
You're taking steps on a fine line
So you don't have to choose a side
Good deeds are not recognized
When the heart's intent is full of pride
One day we hope you stop holding it on all in
And learn, learn to let go and to forgive
Forgive
One day we hope you stop holding it on all in
And learn, learn to let go and to forgive
Forgive
One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day
One day we hope you stop holding it on all in
And learn, learn to let go and to forgive
Forgive
