August Burns Red - Martyr Lyrics
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
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,
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 to forgive (forgive)

August Burns Red Martyr Comments
one of my forever favorite songs from this band 🤟🏻. I can really relate to this unfortunately.
This band is fucking awesome. Listen to them on my way to work everyday
Im still so gd in love with august burns red..even ten years after the lead singer grabbed my hand while I was crowd surfing at their concert in Knoxville and got man handled at by a bouncer when i landed telling me to "calm down"..which made no sense. There was a mosh pit over there and I didnt reach for his hand..he reached for mine.
I listened to alotta screamo metal stuff bands back then..Ive grown up, my taste is even more refined & outta all the screamo ABR is the ONLY 1 I STILL listen to..cause they are by far the classiest & most talented. Well..maybe AILD too.
Hmu ABR..
Wont be your groupie but I might marry ya 😶
SUUUUUUFER
BAAAST...oh wait
Man we gotta get this to 1,000,000 views I need everyone working overtime on this
Whole album is absolutely amazing, but this is my favorite hands down
lam quang cao
The final half of this song is enough to cause a stroke, orgasm, and existential crisis all in one.
ABR is soooooo good!!!
Still one of my favorite albums of all time! 2019, stand strong!
BEST ABR song ever in my opinion!
I normally don't care that there are always some people who dislike a video but honestly in this case wtf man......
1:50
This slow part is really well done, it contrasts the metal sections very well without awkwardness. Plus it is memorable and catchy as hell.
God! And I though Identity was good, this song is just brilliant!
This song is literally a masterpiece. One of the best tracks they've ever created. Beautiful!
3:23 is easily one of the best moments in metal history
On the gba I just shat myself
0:43 - 1:11 Holytaste!!!
Hell Yes.
one of the best songs of the album
Am I the only one who get's emotional every time at 3:30?
i am so high........................
UNREAL SONG..........
2018…..... Bass dropppppp,....,....
On of my fav from this band there composer and style is like no other
Wow 0:00 that's where this song starts and finishes
Only song with the stupid ass breaks in the middle that i like.
breakdown at 0:57 my favourite breakdown in the history of breakdowns.
DAMNED TO HELL
That bluesy midpart.
if people listened to music like this there would be no transgenders.there would be no more homosexuals. because there is absolutely no subliminal messages. no one would be confused about there gender.....
Wow awesome interlude!!
ONE DAY.
i think i like slipknot more
This album was made in mount Olympus and mastered by Zeus himself !!
Wrong. Apollo mastered it
Amazing song, praise God :)
I love this interlude
This song makes me tear up. Masterpiece.
This song needs an instrumental version without the "skinhead" type of screaming voice.
The singer from Make them suffer has the same voice as JB, anyone noticed?:D
Praise Jesus
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 prove their loyalty
This song, this ALBUM, is amazing. I dont care if its "Christian metal" its GOOD Christian metal. Just know digging into their discography, and what a journey its been thus far. Constellations has to be my favorite by them, followed by this album. Great band, indeed!
I've never really been a fan of these guys (personally, i still can't get into any of their previous albums), but this entire album is absolutely incredible. The western/americana feel they incorporated into the writing really adds a unique sound.
band in this song sounds like Haste The Day.
That harmonic guitar reminds me of War of Ages.
I dislike metalcore, but this is brilliant, amazing work guys.
And who says modern bands aren't FUCKING INCREDIBLE?!
Lyrics
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 prove 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 you 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)
I always get goosebumps at the end " Your taking steps on a fine line"
omg this is amazing
Great album
awesome band
Fucking fucking fucking goooddddd.....6 years was nothing
just heard of these guys today but they sound soooooo much like Soilwork. Good stuff regardless.
Listen to older albums like ''Constellation" and ''Messenger"
mshehab constellations and leveler are solid and messengers is too
the guitar is badass at 1:10 - 1:45 lovin it!
My thoughts exactly!
SO FUCKING GOOD
The entire album is my favorite song
My dream tour : August Burns Red, No Bragging Rights, and my favorite Haste The Day..... If only they were still a band
Justin R add oh sleeper if they were still together as well as texas in july
Joshuah Patterson dude I love Texas in July!
Justin R same i saw them once with of mice and men and woe is me a year or two before they split
Joshuah Patterson I seen them a few years back with the word alive Blessthefall and Greeley Estates... I've been good friends with Ryan from Greeley for a long time now! Craig Mabbitt was there too so it was kinda funny watching him watch both the bands that kick him out lol
that bass. its so good
FUCKING GOOD !
the breakdown gives me goosebumps every time i hear it
Every song on this album is what other metalcore bands strive to emulate.
Architects? Ever heard of them?
@Melefono ARCHITECTS BRO!!! YES
another great band
I think that ABR has a similar style than Phinehas ...
I couldn't difference among both
@Alex Blacrow Yeah, cringy edgelord hot topic bands like black veil brides and attila give metalcore a bad rep. There's some masterful musicianship in metalcore if you look in the right places. There's good and bad like every genre
Good gawd well I have a new favorite ABR song. I knew I shouldn't have slept on this album!
This may be another composure.
love all the new breakdowns on this CD
fuck the devil I follow Jesus
And this is why ABR is ABR.
This song helped me so much already although I discovered this song about a week ago.. My best friend punched me 6 times in the face. I was hurt physically and mentally. He now has blood from his best friend on his hands and he ended the friendship almost instantaneously. The same day I discovered this song and searched up the lyrics. It made so much sense and it motivated me so much to move on with life without my best friend. I started going to the gym, eating more healthy and being more aware of danger caused by people. Thank you, ABR! You never disappoint :)
+Bordengooier damn. Sorry to hear that man. 😕
+Leora Ojadi It's ok haha. I've been socializing with so much more people since he did that, it actually turned out fine haha. anyway thanks for your interest in my story :)
He gave you the almighty three shoe beating, eh?
@Rolf Yup, haha
Bordengooier lol
People in the comments saying this is real metal and that this is brutal. Haha, fucking pussy's. Listen to Dying Fetus for real metal, queers. Metalcore is for girls.
How about you don't be so ignorant? There's no such thing as "real metal". Music is subjective, the sooner you realize that, the better off you are.
Too bad dying fetus is the equivalent of being raped by 12 dogs. In other words it's just mindless grunting lmao.
And this is extremely generic and sappy, for teenagers who are too hardcore for pop but don't want to listen to heavier metal.
+Bordengooier lol
Damn, I kinda got jaded with this band back when Constellations came out. This sounds like they're really getting to be good song writers. Not that they were ever bad, just started all to sound like the same metalcore cliche, breakdown, Conservative, Christian kid core, lol. They've always been really talented. This sounds great!
I love to see so many positive comments. These dudes deserve every bit of credit for making another great album.

The album with full of truthfullness.:') Thank you dudes! :)
I had fallen out of touch this genre and band in general over the past almost two years, coming back to this album? and this song? fucking worth every moment.
same story here man, thank god for august burns red. im glad someone kept good post hardcore alive.
+Robert Carranza..... post hardcore..... really man, you can't be serious about that.
murdered the replay button chorus has me going
Arpeggios.. arpeggios everywhere
Bought it and very glad of purchase I made. Probably best of 2015.
ONE DAAAAYYYYYY !!!!!
intense de ouf
This song absolutely shreds live
it amazes me that not many people know that ABR is a Christian band
3:24- ...ohh my god :')
I actually was looking for metal Christmas music and I found you guys. I love the guitar riffs and figured I had to find out more about you guys. Usually it's all drums and bass. Awesome shit!
My boyfriend introduced me to this band. I'm not too familiar with earlier stuff but this albums blows my mind!!!
this song is awesome all glory to God
this is true "metal"
This song is more than perfect!
Love it, ABR forever
