Lyrics August Burns Red

August Burns Red

Martyr

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 prove 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 you 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 to let go and forgive (forgive)
