Anberlin - (*Fin) Lyrics






Feels like you're miles from here,
in other towns with lesser names.
Where the unholy ghost doesn't tell
Mary or William exactly what they want to hear.
You remember the house on Ridge Road
told you and the Devil to both just leave me alone.
If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling.
You'll just have to trust me. I'm scared.

I am the patron saint of lost causes.
Aren't we all to you just near lost causes?
Aren't we all to you just lost

Tommy, you left behind
something that will mean everything right before you die.
What if you gained the whole world?
You've already lost four little souls from your life.
Widows and orphans aren't hard to find.
They're home missing daddy who's saving the abandoned tonight.
Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you.
Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth.

That you are the patron saint of lost causes.
All you are to them is now a lost cause.
All you are to them is now, causes.

Billy, don't you understand?
Timothy stood as long as he could and now
you made his faith disappear.
More like a magician and less like a man of the cloth.
We're not questioning God.
Just those he chose to carry on His cross.
We're no better, you'll see.
Just all of us, the lost causes.

Aren't we all to you just lost causes?
Are we all to you lost?
Lost causes
So all we are to you,
Is all we are, is all we are
All we are is all we are

[Choir:]
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you? (Lost causes, all we are is all we are)
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you? (To you, lost...)

Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?
Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?

Take what you will, what you will
And leave. Could you kill, could you kill me
If the world was on fire
and nothing was left but hope or desire
And take all that I could bring forth, is this hell
Or am I on the floor over-desperate?
Hold hands streaming of blood again?
And then take full weight of me
Guard my dreams, figure this out,
It's me on my own. Helpless, hurting, hell
Will you stay strong as you promised?
Cause I'm stranded and bare.
Meanness is washed up in all that I am
is God. Take this and all,
Then grace takes me to a place
Of the father you never had
Ripping and breaking and tearing apart
This is not heaven
This is my hell.

    i've been listening to anberlin ever since i was alive and i always come back to this one

  16. X.... ....

    I remember listening to Anberlin since I was small. 10 years later, listening to this again just made me cry. So many memories and yeah it really affects you if the memories were mostly pain

  17. n.... m....

    Magnifique!4:30

  18. A.... E....

    Heart and mind. Some of the best musical therapy I've been graced to find.

  19. O.... M....

    Albafica :'(

  20. S.... O....

    Parece que você está a milhas daqui
    em outras cidades com nomes menores.
    Onde o fantasma profano não diz a
    Mary ou Willian exatamente o que eles querem ouvir.
    Você lembra da casa em Ridge Road?
    Disse a você e ao diabo para ambos me deixarem sozinho.
    Se isso é a salvação, eu posso te mostrar o tremor.
    Você só tem que confiar em mim. Eu estou assustado.

    Eu sou o santo patrono das causas perdidas.
    Não somos, para você, apenas causas perdidas?
    Não estamos, para você, apenas perdidos?

    Tommy, você deixou pra trás
    algo que irá significar tudo logo antes de você morrer.
    E daí que você ganhou o mundo inteiro?
    Você já perdeu 4 pequenas almas de sua vida.
    Viúvas e órfãos não são difíceis de se achar.
    Estão em casa, sentindo falta do papai, que está salvando os abandonados hoje à noite
    Queria que sua bebida fosse rápida e te matasse,
    Piedade é melhor do que ter que te dizer a verdade.

    Que você é o santo patrono das causas perdidas.
    Tudo que você é pra eles agora é uma causa perdida.
    Tudo que você é pra eles agora é uma causa.

    Billy, você não entende?
    Timothy aguentou o quanto pôde, e agora
    você fez a fé dele desaparecer.
    Mais como um mágico e menos como um padre.
    Nós não estamos questionando Deus,
    só aqueles que Ele escolheu para carregar Sua cruz.
    Nós não somos melhores, você verá.
    Apenas nós, as causas perdidas.

    Nós não somos, pra você, apenas causas perdidas?
    Nós estamos perdidos pra você?
    Causas perdidas
    Então, tudo o que somos para você,
    É tudo o que somos? É tudo o que somos?
    Tudo o que somos é tudo o que somos

    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    (Causas perdidas, nós somos tudo que somos)
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    (Pra você, causa perdida)
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?
    Santo Patrono, estamos todos perdidos como você?

    Pegue o que você quiser, o que você quiser, e vá.
    Você poderia matar, você poderia me matar
    se o mundo estivesse em chamas
    e não restasse nada além de esperança e desejo.
    E leve tudo o que eu possa levar adiante.
    Esse é o inferno, ou eu estou no chão desesperado demais,
    com as mãos juntas e sangrando de novo?
    E então tire todos os problemas de mim.
    Vigie os meus sonhos, resolva isso,
    eu estou sozinho, precisando de ajuda, ferido, no inferno.
    Você vai continuar forte como prometeu?
    Porque eu estou preso e nu.
    A maldade foi lavada de tudo o que eu sou.
    Por favor Deus, leve tudo isso,
    Então por milagre, leve-me ao lugar
    do "pai que nunca se teve".
    Cortando e quebrando e separando-se
    Isso não é o paraíso
    Isso é o meu inferno.

    S.... O....

    May I ask what language this is? I'm just curious and I'm learning quite a few Romance languages right now.

  21. G.... ....

    Quando eu comecei a ouvir Anberlin em meados de 2008 :)

  22. Z.... ....

    The best song of Anberlin <3

  23. E.... A....

    Gente o vídeo não tá disponível...e agora?.queria baixar ele...

  24. C.... E....

    I don't know how you could hear this song and not recognize the perfect blend of raw emotion and musical talent. Amazing introspective view into the battle for one man's heart. Thank you for sharing not just your talent but your soul. The brutal honesty blended with amazing gift makes this the best song I've ever heard!

  25. N.... C....

  28. D.... T....

    trying to find the end credits song for that movie called House.

    D.... T....

    If you mean the 2008 movie, IMDB says this song was in it, so this might be the credits song. Never seen the movie myself.

    D.... T....

    +edf203 thank you :) it's hard to look for it, I love the book!! and the movie was okay, I recommend to read the book, it's quite a novel.

    D.... T....

    Deydra Trevino I did actually read most of the book at the library. Seems pretty awesome, even if it's a bit strange lol.

    D.... T....

    +edf203 yes very interesting lol

  29. E.... j....

  40. B.... K....

    This song was the reason for this band.  What a miracle.

  41. D.... ....

    I hate it when a bad/sad memory becomes attached to a good song!

    D.... ....

    +Crozzie Remembers Wow is this just true with everyone who likes this song?

    D.... ....

    It's just bc of the song, im sure (: it's an emotional song, tbh

    D.... ....

    It's a great song, tbh

    D.... ....

    I feel ya

  42. E.... K....

    I miss them.

  43. M.... H....

    04:15 is so weird!

    M.... H....

    @Miles Hemingway You should not say stupid things instead of saying stupid things, it'll make you look less stupid.

    M.... H....

    Not a stupid thing to say kid -_-
    His voice just sounds slightly odd at that moment.

    M.... H....

    @FinderofNemo no need to be a jerk cause somebody has a differing opinion than yours. CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, AWAYY!

    M.... H....

    +FinderofNemo calm down.

  44. S.... ....

    They're amazing live. I saw them along with Switchfoot in Times Square a few years back

  45. Q.... C....

    Such a beautiful song and a beautiful album. Can't believe they just broke up. I'm so sad :(

    Q.... C....

    why did they break up?

    Q.... C....

    +Andrew Farr pretty sure they did it so that they could raise their families.

    Q.... C....

    +Quade Carter, they broke up to move on to other things. Christian has two other projects that he has worked on, one being Anchor And Braile which is a very similar style to Anberlin, and also a self titled album which is fantastic.

    Q.... C....

    They didn’t break up, they retired...

    Q.... C....

    They're touring now

  46. J.... S....

    anberlin <3 hehehe melhor musica

  47. G.... G....

    Patron saint, are we all lost like you?

  48. K.... B....

    I was lucky enough to see them in Boston, they also played this song as an encore. I knew that they'd come back out for it, but they teased us. I think they just wanted to hear Boston chant their name one last time. I never wanted this song to end.

    K.... B....

    damn this is so sad.

  49. T.... P....

    I wasn't able to see Anberlin when they passed through my town because of college projects. But my friend shared a cool experience with me. She say them in TX and they played this song as their encore. She said the part with the choir, and the crowd singing along gave her chills and made her cry (in a good way) a little. I absolutely love that connection we can have with bands through their music and especially at shows. Anberlin, thank you for all you have done and the legacy you will leave behind.

    T.... P....

    That's how it was when I saw them in SF. Had a group of people singing along through the verses and chorus. Once the build up came and band kicked in, the whole venue was into it. Choir part, everyone was singing, holding their hands in the air, and enjoying the experience immensely. 

  50. P.... ....

    This might just be the best song I've ever heard. Their legacy will continue always.
    :D

  51. T.... C....

    That choir part hit me like a wall... So good

  52. N.... A....

    This song is awesome all together, but is it weird that I'm in love with 6:00 - 8:53 and listen to it more than the rest of the song?

    N.... A....

    me too bro. me too.

    N.... A....

    Nathaniel Acosta the line that gets me is 'wish the drinking would hurry and kill you' its a pain you can hear in his voice

    N.... A....

    best part of the song, those falsetto notes give me chills

    N.... A....

    That's my fav part of the song. Sometimes I just play that section on repeat

    N.... A....

    Then take full weight of me, guard my dreams....figure this out, it's me on my own--a helpless, hurting hell...

    And will you stay strong as you promised? 'Cause I'm stranded and bare.

  53. M.... A....

    not a fan of long songs. except for this one.

  54. P.... ....

    @atomicfriendo  You may have killed Anberlin, but you will not kill their music.  You may think you've won, but you haven't.  Because Anberlin is going to go out with a bang, their fandom will expend tenfold and our love of them will carry on and destroy you from the inside out.  atomicfriendo sucks :)-~

    P.... ....

    Never heard anyone be that right. Anberlin lives on forever. :D

  55. P.... ....

    Can we all just get along (and light atomicfriendo on fire as an offering to Guy Fawkes's ghost) yet?

    P.... ....

    ahh but then we have to put him out with our own piss, like he did to that pile of burning BVB merch. ;)

  56. S.... ....

    give it up he's just a lost cause

  57. J.... ....

    if they you think they suck, stop giving their music views. what is your plan? to try and make others think the same thing? you really think stating an opinion on the internet really amounts to anything? but..here's the thing...you've been doing this for years. and i doubt you've made anyone dislike them. trolling is a form of art. what you're doing isn't trolling. it's lame, dude. i know you're lonely and want people to talk with. so find people with common interests. hope you stop this.

  58. L.... A....

    This song reminds me of my Great Uncle Bill. He was electrocuted and killed when he was 31. After that the family tried to forget about him.

  59. w.... ....

    Sancti7y

  60. a.... ....

    oh crap before you beat me to it... *your

  61. a.... ....

    you seem to have forgotten something in that reply... here let me fill it in for you: "anberlin sucks :)-~" btw i remember seeing your comments when i first started listening to anberlin songs on youtube some years ago. i must say, you're "dedication" to filling up the comments sections in practically all anberlin videos for this long is commendable (somewhat... and to me at least). i won't tell you to stop since it probably won't do anything, so here's a penis and some boobies 8====D ( . )( . )

  62. n.... ....

    atomicfriendo, please, keep saying that until these stupid guys notice that pissing them off is your intention!

  63. S.... R....

    The top comments should be praising this song, Stephen or Anberlin... not anything or anyone else. Anberlin rocks :)-~

  64. p.... ....

    I was thinking... Is there any, any at all, logical, rational and well-supported motivation of why you have been doing this for so long? Don't get me wrong, I'm completely amazed at how you managed to pursue in doing it. I'm just wondering...why? @atomicfriendo

  65. G.... ....

    Hey! that wasn't your meal! Not your feeding time... BAD troll. no troll dinner for you.

  66. G.... ....

    Opinionated, no such thing as a definitive 'this band sucks' in general mention. it is, by default, opinionated, meaning all your saying (to me at least) is YOU think anberlin sucks. which is fair enough, everyone has bands they don't like. -anberlin fans, how bout keeping level-headed, staying calm and thinking of a response he wont care about? you know he's looking to piss someone off. and he can win. whatever you say he'll say the same thing and get a different response. Don't feed the beast.

  67. T.... B....

    the amount of instruments used at the end>>>

  68. J.... L....

    This song is excellent. The passion in the song and the lyrics is remarkable. The way he comments on those who have rejected the grace given to them through Jesus' death and resurrection is a good reminder to never forget Jesus' ready forgiveness.

  69. J.... L....

    You see kind sir, while I value your opinion... I would have to agree to disagree. That's all I have to say... I'm not going to call you a faggot, bitch, queer, etc... simply because you and I disagree on something. Last time I checked this was America and what your doing is completely legal. So dude, do you... If you want to bash Anberlin... I support you man...

  70. J.... W....

    Haha If anyone is the bitch on here it is you. You're an idiot you have no musical reasoning behind why you think they suck. I hope you are retarded and not an arrogant, narrow minded, social reject. Have a nice time trolling this band! You only make them more famous lol.

  71. J.... W....

    Ahaha but you realize you make them more famous, Anberlins music tells a story and has emotional meaning behind it. If that isn't music than fuck nows what is. Anberlin are awesome! Your opinion sucks. The fact you replied so quickly proves my point. You have no life. How many years you been doing this for now buddy? Long time by my watch. You're illiterate haha! Anberlin is a name. Spell it with a capital letter you uneducated fuck.

  72. J.... W....

    Ahaha but you realize you make them more famous, Anberlins music tells a story and has emotional meaning behind it. If that isn't music than fuck nows what is. Anberlin are awesome!

Spell it with a capital letter you uneducated fuck.

  73. 4.... ....

    Nope! But judging from the what I've heard from the top comments on this video, you seem to comment on Anberlin songs quite a lot. By the way, nice job backing off when I prove a point that you are in fact promoting Anberlin. How does it feel, helping them become more famous? :-)

  74. J.... W....

    You have been hating this band for years on end now, get a fucking life. Some people (me) love Anberlin. It's so sad that you have nothing better to do with your life.

  75. 4.... ....

    Not at all. In fact, it's not an assumption. It's a fact. Commenting on a video brings that same video further up the page in the search results. In turn, it attracts more viewers, giving channels the opportunity to grow. By leaving hundreds of comments on music videos from Anberlin, you have done all of us a great service by promoting them, and for that I thank you. :-)

  76. 4.... ....

    Thank you for taking precious time out of your day by posting so many comments on this video! You are definitely helping Anberlin become much more famous!

  77. C.... C....

    I'm seeing them tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  78. A.... ....

    Best troll ever lol

  79. D.... M....

    Why are people even bent out of shape over someones comments??? I come to this to listen to the song, not others...

  80. K.... ....

    So... you really have nothing better to do with your life?

  81. Q.... ....

    haha buddy ... i acutally dont care about all this, but it is pretty funny how those people always say "stop .. no one cares" but the fact is that they still argue with you. haha, you really trolled the shit out of them : )

  82. L.... ....

    Wow, you're still alive?

  83. K.... ....

    Ok. Youre obviously a anberlin fan lol

  84. K.... ....

    Ok contradict yourself. lol. And you never answered the latter part of my question. :(

  85. K.... ....

    Okay. Not a stab at you or anything but I just listened to 'The Ocean' and I'm having a hard time finding similarities other than they both are mostly acoustic. Also, both albums came out in 2007, Anberlin's was in Feb The Bravery's was May.

  86. K.... ....

    I've never seen someone hate a band so much. So, I mean, have you ever explained why they suck? I'd really like to know. You're so dedicated to it, you must have an amazing theory.

  87. L.... ....

    I won't argue with you, but why not listen something to your liking instead of trolling Anberlin videos? You don't like it, that's it, but others do (Including me).

  88. b.... ....

    I dunno which is older but I know anberlin have been out a lonngggg ass time

  89. M.... C....

    Good song but holy fucking shit, it's IDENTICAL to the Bravery's 'The Ocean'. Both are great songs, and great bands, but these 2 are almost the exact same. I wonder which came first?

  90. p.... ....

    Stop. Feeding. The. Troll. Fucking internet noob.

  91. s.... ....

    Most dedicated troll ever, right here.
    Question: How long have you been doing this?
    Is there more than one of you?

  92. M.... ....

    uwielbiam... just pleasure ;)

  93. M.... A....

    Real Music right here with meaning, respect it.

  94. J.... ....

    atleast they're not a spamming queer gtfo

  95. e.... ....

    It must be sad to know you have nothing of substance to contribute, that the pinnacle of your life is trivializing the accomplishments of others. I almost feel bad for you. But you chose to lead this shallow and pathetic life with no true contributions. You have no deep insight, you have no prophetic life. Just an antagonist. Must be a lonely life. Sucks to be you.

  96. M.... M....

    Hehe.. It's Drake.

  97. D.... J....

    Hehe.. It's Michael..
