AUGUST BURNS RED LYRICS

1. Premonition




2. The Cleansing




3. Ancestry


[feat. Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage]

Left behind

You chose to leave
Now it looks like you're leaving your family
There's a cavern in your ribs
Where your heart used to be
I've been picking up what's left of you
Connecting your pieces to my memories
Hoping they would ignite some sentiment
But they won't inspire sympathy

The hollow point may have ripped you apart
You disregard the damage you'd impart
Rest in peace to our ancestry
That you maimed and left scarred

My judgement is clouded by the blood we share

We built our truth on top of all these lies
I still see the good in life
It's not the end, although you see the light
I'll see you on the other side

Maybe one day you'll care
But it's not my cross to bear

I didn't skip a beat
When I heard the news that you
You couldn't make it to your feet
All I have is apathy
Just another day
of not knowing what to believe
Another tale, another story
A lifetime of perjury

I wish I had the words to say I love you
I'm not sure I understand what those mean when I'm thinking of you

I have no words for you

When I needed you, you wouldn't even hear it
You made your choices
You'll live with them even if we're gone

It's impossible to find what's real in all these fables
Unable to see through the resentment you've enabled

The hurt that you inflicted on yourself
Won't amount to the pain of everyone else
I always wanted things to be different

Although you see the light
I'll see you on the other side

We built our truth on top of all these lies
I still see the good in life
It's not the end, although you see the light
I'll see you on the other side

Although you see the light
I'll see you on the other side


4. Tightrope


[feat. Jason Richardson]



5. Fool's Gold In The Bear Trap




6. Backfire


Witness the blind now leading the enraged
Losing our sight, we've lost our way
We find ourselves welcoming moral decay
We have lost our way
Entombed by deception

We find lies where there is nothing but truth
We find lies
Thoughts of conceding are wasted on our youth

You cry deceit and you never, never surrender
While refusing to wave the flags of defeat
Stoke fires, and fire up those who are looking for a leader

Accepting a loss won't be the end
You can always get back up and fight again

It's hard to accept that your theories are just fallacies

The downtrodden are feeling trampled
Stockholm syndrome has afflicted the masses
Enamored with those who always kept them in shambles

My suffering is not your fault
Your victories, they are your own

How did we get here
To a place where we blame
We blame those we've never met for our misfortune
How did we get here
There are signs everywhere
All of you are asleep
We need to wake up
We need to wake up

Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire
Endless belief in a liar leads to a violent backfire


7. Revival




8. Sevink




9. Dark Divide




10. Deadbolt




11. The Abyss


[feat. JT Cavey of ERRA]



12. Reckoning


[feat. Spencer Chamberlain of Underoath]

Who am I?
Flying blind
Scorching heat, black skies
Dark shadows asking "Who am I?"
Left behind, pushed aside
I need order in the chaos when I'm flying blind

I know the way (You better pray)
I've done enough (You won't measure up)
Looked down upon by the masses
Unending streams of ruined dreams
Empty accolades feel like razor blades
Leaving me wanting more
Never sure of my standing
My trembling feet can't find the floor

No matter what I do
I feel I have something to prove
In a world where right and wrong don't belong
There is no sense of what is justified

The higher I climb the further I fall
The hand that held me then now holds me down
Judgement day means reckoning for you

Give me your time
Sit down and talk
No one to point the blame when no one's at fault

My disaster began when I looked up
On that day, all I've done
My disaster began when I looked up
I was both compelled and condemned

I struggle so hard
I do my best
How can I find a single solitary day of rest
Is it what you've done, or what you'll do in me
I need to know so I will find peace
Belief is believing what you cannot see
Giving all you've got out of all that you need

Endless arguments with myself
All that remains is the shame
There's no case to be made
Punched into total darkness
If what I've done imprisons me
Then your will sets me free

The villages are crumbling down
Making right what's wrong won't make the lost found
There's an arbiter
No one escapes
The standard we have for others will be our fate

I'll swallow down the words you serve me graciously
I've done this all before
I'll hold it all inside until I break away
I'm tearing down the door
The fear cannot contain us all
I'll make the cut just deep enough to sting
I just wanna break free
Rip your claws from my side
I won't just die quietly while you prey on the innocent
I will break free

The reckoning won't bring you hope
Death below on a tightrope
Take your hands off your life
It won't consume you
The altar will give you life and not kill you
I set my sights on the impossible
Endless debt making grace unstoppable
