As Cities Burn - Made Too Pretty Lyrics






We bear your name,
And you let us say
You are something that you're not.
As if you were made after we saw our own faces,
And knew we were gods enough.

I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare we cannot break.
We know nothing changes too slowly.
Someday we might come down,
But who's to really say?

And if we are the body,
How'd the pretty men get so ugly?
How'd he get all these spaces between each limb?
And if there is one thing bigger than my head,
That's the distance I've been mislead.

'Cause I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare and we can't break.
We know nothing changes too slowly.
And someday I might come down,
Oh, I don't wanna come down.
I think we became too pretty.

We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves don't see we're in need.
We don't want a God we don't see in ourselves don't see we're in need.

I think we were made too pretty.
We're caught up in a stare and we can't break.
I think we were made too pretty.
Yeah, so much we don't see it yet.
We don't see it.

We know nothing changes too slowly.

  6. D.... C....

    Nah. Jesus still fine there just aren't as many christians as there are people that claim they are Christian but really aren't. Finding a true Christian is a rare site these days. Too many wannabes chilling on Sunday for social status

    Z.... Z....

    Zac Zinn come now sleep was the greatest

  19. A.... W....

    For all you Blimeycow fans... Jordan isn't ever referencing to this album. Go look up songs from "Son I Loved You At Your Darkest." This album has a completely different sound to it.

  20. L.... T....

    Care here for Blimey Cow
    xD

  21. k.... ....

  32. a.... ....

    I love how everyone who has commented here watched this video because of Blimey Cow. :P

  33. t.... ....

    Guilty! Blimeycow made me come here! LOL! The music is good :)

  34. B.... ....

    was i the only one to find this band without BlimeyCow or anyone else?

    B.... ....

    Bellzer98 wer the same

  35. c.... l....

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who gave into the hype Jordyn had on this band lol

  36. c.... ....

    Amen to that!

  37. S.... ....

    just seeing what Messy Mondays is so exited about =D

  38. B.... A....

    I can't listen to As Cities Burn without immediately thinking of Messy Jordan

  39. m.... ....

    I got a better idea: How about you just ignore the comments and just listen to the music? Or if you don't like the music then listen to something you DO like. You say people are forcing their beliefs on others. But really I think you're just upset that people are strongly opinionated on something you disagree with. Seriously if people are TALKING about their beliefs then that's a GOOD thing because then we aren't KILLING each other over it instead.
    More honest discussion should be encouraged.

  40. C.... P....

    Y don't u comment about the song? Like go talk somewhere else

  41. E.... S....

    so does that mean you have proof for atheistic views as well?

  42. C.... l....

    No amount of "proof" will ever make an atheist who says to himself "I will never believe in God" change how he is. Only by showing true love can we as Christians even begin the process of reformation in an unbelieving world. That is what Matty showed bakerskater, he showed him the true love that radiates from God. That is why it effected him that way so that only one conversation with a person who knows the true God made him almost change his ways. God forbid someone shows him love again...

  43. I.... ....

    that's awesome :))

  44. J.... H....

    If that kid made you "almost" believe in god just by talking to you about it and offering no more proof or anything than the next guy, than you're one piece of shit atheist hahahaha.

  45. p.... ....

    So, I think that youtube noticed how often As Cities Burn is mentioned in blimeycow videos, because it's now recommending all of these videos...and I've never watched them before.

  46. M.... ....

    Except that they aren't Christians. If you can who is a Christian by his/her fruits, then no one affiliated with the WBB can be counted as a Christian.

  47. E.... R....

    Many times the most vocal "christians" aren't truely following they just want to make themselves feel better. If you want to be real about it, I'm no better than you and you are no better than me, we are equally sinners, equally condemned to hell for our actions. But thanks to a loving and merciful God there is a way out that he has given us, and the only difference between us then is that i believe and you don't. That would then make more sense for me too show love rather than condemnation

  48. d.... z....

    christ never judged anybody? the final judgement belongs to god. jesus christ and god are the same entity, thus jesus christ, in fact judges everybody...if you believe in all that stuff you yourself should do some research. and to say christ never did is very vague, the word christ is a tittle not a person so there is no connection to jesus christ if you do not put the name jesus before christ...its like saying pope, or president without a name following it.

  49. F.... ....

    BlimeyCow :)

  50. i.... ....

    I know that he got preachy with me over the shirt the drummer of my band was wearing.

    People who are legitimately nice, well-adjusted members of society don't do that.

  51. D.... ....

    And, I must add, if you're unwilling to research my comments, than that's cool, but you really shouldn't judge people regardless. Christ never did.

  52. D.... ....

    Son of the Morning is one of the most powerfully moving records in Christian metal today. People often mistake it for satanic because of the Title track and artwork, but it's intended to give a Biblical representation of the enemy. You'll find through the record the band really tried to show the battle between the enemy and God that takes place in the hearts of man, and the final track is a victory anthem over the enemy. ("They[the church] will sing as I[Christ] cut off your [Satan] horns."

  53. x.... ....

    Okay my bad, I suppose I should have asked; Do you actually know the person well enough to make a judgement like that? My guess would be no.

  54. i.... ....

    Look how my comment is a YEAR OLD, way before the GUITAR PLAYER tweeted that garbage.

  55. x.... ....

    Really you actually met and talked religion with him, or did you just read his "homophobic" tweet?

  56. I.... W....

    Am i the only one who checked these guys out because of blimey cow?

  57. t.... ....

    I can't get over how amazing they are.
    <3

  58. N.... B....

    from good ol mandeville La, La has had some good bands come out

  59. c.... ....

    they were fantastic last night!

  60. B.... W....

    Dallas?!

  61. S.... B....

    They're coming where I live in two days. I think I'm going to cry

  62. T.... ....

    Saw them last night with Underoath's last tour in New York (:

  63. E.... B....

    Like if Jordan from Messy Mondays compelled you to see a As Cities Burn video.

  64. f.... ....

    wanted to see em in florida, tickets were almost 200$ tho..?

  65. B.... B....

    Man, some people really hate on "Christian A-holes" but I've never pushed my beliefs on anyone or judged anyone for their lack of faith. However I can't count the times I've been on the receiving end of condescending and sometimes outright malicious responses to a pretty simple and common personal choice.

  66. s.... ....

    whats the name of the singer ?

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

    they're playing with underoath in january. in philly! get those tickets!

  68. u.... ....

    I'm sorry replay button, you were put there for a reason

  69. d.... ....

    They broke up for the longest time and just recently got back together. They havn't really had any tours at all.

  70. A.... B....

    Y U no tour America no more?!?!?! East Coast plz!!!

  71. c.... ....

    wow where the fuck would i be today if it werent for ACB!!! one of the greatest band that ever was

  72. M.... C....

    I will forever think that it's my phone vibrating at 3:54 haha.

  73. A.... D....

    Their lyrics are phenomenal.

  74. K.... ....

    Takes me back a few years..

  75. W.... A....

    Ohmygosh, i get to see them on the 10th<3 Gahh.

  76. C.... L....

    @fightforit10 Dude... Music is music. Christian bands work with non-Christian bands. This isn't hypocrite, this is just being open-minded :/

  77. h.... ....

    I may go to see them!!!!

  78. E.... R....

    Everyone better fucking come to Dallas on December 10th to watch these guys perform. Coming together for Unsilent Night. Will be amazing.

  79. h.... ....

    I wish these guys were still together :'(

  80. C.... S....

    Love love love this song to pieces. Its always been a favorite

  81. f.... ....

    @Razzy123 That was Winds of Plague allowing him to do that. I doubt Oh, Sleeper would let an atheist do guest vocals on their album. Not saying they are high and mighty or anything, just saying that they would be quite the hypocrites if they let someone who wasn't christian do vocals on an entire christian album.

  82. f.... ....

    I'm sorry but, for everyone who keeps saying Cody is no longer Christian, you are wrong. In multiple interviews he has stated that he is christian, he just doesn't force feed it like some of the people you have ran into. As for Mattie Montgomery from For Today, when I met him he was really cool, you must've caught him on a bad night. We are all human to begin with.

  83. D.... ....

    Wow haha I just realized I'm in the top comments. A year later and I have this song on repeat again!

  84. E.... U....

    @halguard no this is spam lol

  85. X.... ....

    @BoeckmanOSU yes cody is not a christian anymore

  86. B.... ....

    @clonetroper68 Not a Christian any more??

  87. X.... ....

    @weibelb11 not to mention codys not a christian any more and T.J. is married nd has two kids

  88. 1.... y....

    i love this song so much humanity needs to be humbled and this is the perfect song for it

  89. s.... ....

    @jrama23 is that good...or...bad...ummm

  90. D.... ....

    @skateorlie I agree, I like how they don't impose anything, I have faith in God and believe in Jesus, but I don't agree with others who 'force feed you' their beliefs. I never impose what I believe in on anyone, I like telling a lot of my life story's and how and why I believe, but won't push it. On that same note, I also tell people I'm not religious, I can't agree with any 'religion' that will wage war ''in the name of ___''. so not everyone who has faith is a 'pusher' , so to speak, lol.

  91. i.... ....

    @MrTrollinhardcore And the vocalist from For Today, (one of the most asshole Christians I've ever met,) did guest vocals on Winds of Plague's new album, but that doesn't mean he's an atheist.

  92. R.... B....

    Cody is a Christian. He helped out Oh, Sleeper on one song from Son of the Morning. Probably wouldn't be doing that if he wasn't still running with the Lord.

  93. k.... ....

    This song is amazing.

  94. S.... ....

    Harry Potter font.
    That is all.

  95. T.... D....

    lyrics!=amazing..
