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 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 to let go and forgive (forgive).
