Martyr - August Burns Red

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
