August Burns Red - Provision Lyrics






You give us dreams to wake us up
You say, "Take pride in the provision"
When all we see is the face of defeat
You say, "Take pride in the provision"

My future's finally found me, figured me out
It's painful. It's tough. I never saw it coming
Come as it may, cause life is a lesson
I'd rather learn then end up in a cold covered up dark grave
These are the words of a man, who finally let go
These are the goals of a man, who's laid it all down
Losing it all made me realize I am the victim
The culprit, the casualty, and the cause
Losing it all led me to you, ( to you )
Losing it all led me to you

I'm sick. I need sight. I need help
I need you, and I'm not getting any better

I am the deceiver. I'm not getting any better
I am the thief, the whore, the murderer

It's times like these, it's time like these
You forget to remember who you are. The way up is down
Truth is found when life throws you out and kicks you to the curb
I'm just as much the problem as the man behind bars
He did with his business what I do in my heart

You wronged me. You crossed me. I'll never let it ruin me
Lessons are learned deep down within my heart (in my heart)

The worst men make the best stories come true
The past is a part of me, but not who I am
I realize my identity is not in what I've seen
But in what I believe to be true
I know what I need now, I know what I need
All that was lost is not lost
Even the worst of mankind can't disrupt sovereignty

You've given me the nightmare to wake me up
You say, "Take pride in the provision"
You've given me more than enough
You say, "Take pride in the provision"

  53. A.... A....

    To be honest they still seem really underrated

    A.... A....

    i agree with you dude

    A.... A....

    Aaron AltKid It's because they don't adjust their sound to get more popular, I've loved them for years and I'm glad they haven't changed in that way.

    A.... A....

    Chance Simmons oh yeah same! Definitely agree! Just sad how people don't actually listen to this! This actual talent!

  54. D.... O....

    The drums need to be louder you can barely hear them jeez they are so badass but no one knows coz they can't hear them

    D.... O....

    Watch Matt Greiner play the drums on his own it is DAMN nutty

    D.... O....

    Craig they were fucking booming when i saw them live saturday they played the whole messengers cd plus 5 or six tracks this ghosts white.washed and empires amazing show!!

    D.... O....

  59. J.... W....

    matt Grenier is a monster

  60. E.... G....

    This song is a Masterpiece

  61. M.... ....

    There is so much energy when they do this song in concert - I'm not even joking. Its real quiet, dark, and then Luhrs starts screaming then lights go crazy, the drummer is practically playing his arms off, and the crowd freaks. Expect to be punched in the face.

  62. S.... M....

    this is some brutal breakdown

  63. J.... P....

    This aint screamo, this is Metalcore +commandograffan

    J.... P....

    yeah ur right this is too softcore

    J.... P....

    lol you call this softcore? What's your definition of hardcore then?

    J.... P....

    i believe he was referring to the guitar haha

  64. M.... ....

    2:10 allways reminds me of max payne

  65. J.... K....

    It hits me hard when comes the part:
    "I'm just as much the problem as the man behind bars
    He did with his business what I do in my heart"
    Because we are no better people.
    It has helped me to see people in different view and not to judge.

    J.... K....

    iCameAsARoman brother a message from down under, its not where your ar its where you came from. Use your past as fuel not a weight which will sink your conciousness. The many lessons you must of learnt from around you such as i did will make you a stronger person with superior will power than the adverage man, use those lessons as a path from god or whatever higher forces there are, you will be amazed where will powet will take you. пока

    J.... K....

    The Tert he is just referring to sinners in general. those who participate in adultery, or violent acts, are so few in number, compared to those who think or even idolize these actions.

    that is the problem. we cannot judge those who with volition choose to enact sin while subconsciously enacting it ourselves and judge them. it is something every man does a daily basis. even great men. we commit sin with our mind and it is not for us to judge who are worthy and who aren't based upon their actions and inactions. that is the purpose of the line.

    J.... K....

    It's one of my favorite lines from any band I've heard. If people are still confused what it means is murdering someone and thinking about murdering someone, especially with the hate you feel, is the same thing in God's eyes because you would have done it if you were given the chance with no consequences for your actions. It also involves other things than just murder. Some Bible verses to help.


    Jeremiah 17:9
    The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

    Mark 7:21-23
    21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

    22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

    23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

    Matthew 15:18

    18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

    19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

    20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

    J.... K....

    Joel Korhonen I personally can connect with that. Its a brutally honest part of ABR's music that I dig the most. The lyrics.

    J.... K....

    Joel Korhonen I know, right! I feel the exact same way with that line! Guess you can say that this band really know how to deliver.
    :'-D

  66. j.... p....

    boobs boobs boobs penis boobs

    j.... p....

    joely poly agreed

  67. A.... ....

    I swear to God they deserve an Oscar

    A.... ....

    They nominate in Grammy best metal performance :)

  68. u.... r....

    this is some technical metal core! awesome

  69. D.... ....

    ... all their songs sound the same though... part of the reason i stopped listening to them after the third album...on the bright side its good to see them getting the respect which their hard work has earned =)

    D.... ....

    depends whether you listen as a composer or just a listener... 

    D.... ....

    +David and I'm guessing your in the composer category eh? Funny guy

    D.... ....

    yeah funy guy me ha.ha. ... no really i did sound engineering and I really a composer, i literally listen to all kinds of music. Lets, remember, i didnt say they are bad musicians, I myself am a fan, I listen to their music, heck i bought their albums. my comment was purely technical not a dig as them as a band

    D.... ....

    +David you edited the shit outta your original post lol

    D.... ....

    lol man google gotta change that policy on edited posts, whats the point of editing if people can see the edits...lmao

  70. M.... O....

    This band has the best breaks.

  71. B.... J....

    This song is hard of to play

    B.... J....

    +Bob Jones your comment is hard of to read

  72. p.... ....

    Lyrics are amazing

  73. B.... W....

    "Losing it all led me to you..." damn that speaks

  74. y.... K....

    The lyrics, the drums, the guitar riff, unbelievable, a fucking masterpiece!
    Matt Greiner youre the best drummer I know!

    y.... K....

    +Philip Watson *That I heard.
    Better?? ??

    y.... K....

    +yuri Khomyakov Matt is my hero

    y.... K....

    Rawr I luv Matt he rips❤️❤️, fangirl enough for u?

  75. G.... T....

    fuckin' lag

  76. R.... C....

    Watching this while high was one of the best choices of my life xD

  77. E.... ....

    Seriously, those guitar melodies are good for something that sounds as subpar as 'August Burns Red'. Plus this band actually uses proper hardcore punk influences instead of a fucking MTV pop punk approach.

  78. K.... H....

    By far the best peice of work August Burns Red delivered. It incorporates all of their talent, creativity and depth into one song and it just sets the mood for the entire album. The lead up to the break down and the break down itself fits perfectly with the lyrics and it conveys a deep realization of the similarities between a criminal that has whole heatedly committed a crime and criminal that has not made the action but thought of it. This song just kicks ass, I have no other way to describe it. This song will always be my favorite aside from Salt & Light and Martyr.

  79. B.... ....

    The bass line in that interlude doh.

  80. B.... ....

    The bass line in that interlude doh.

  81. C.... C....

    always said the three kings of metalcore are as follows...ABR, Killswitch, and parkway drive.

    C.... C....

    I used to be willing to make the argument that as I lay dying and all that remains were in that conversation

  82. T.... ....

    I haven't listened to these guys sent Constellations. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that 7/8 part. Glad they are trying things that aren't straight forward 4/4 now

    T.... ....

    They actually have a lotttttt of stuff that isn't in 4/4 to be honest. I know there are a bunch of spots all over Leveler that are in different times, like 7/4 and 6/4 and stuff like that.

  83. M.... K....

    Dope video

  84. A.... T....

    0:59 Awesome video effects!!!!

  85. i.... ....

    One of my favorite bands. Never cease to impress.

  86. V.... ....

    this video reminds me of hollow bodies by bless the fall

    V.... ....

    @divine adrian Yup, when btf released their video teaser my first thought was this song

    V.... ....

    @divine adrian of course, both Music Videos were made by the same director, Daniel Davidson.

  87. B.... D....

    I just want to know how they thought up the animations for this video, somebody out there is either really creative or really high on something haha

  88. R.... R....

    Some heavy DEP influences in this video

  89. m.... ....

    I can only imagine the render time making this video

  90. Q.... ....

    Wasn't expecting this! My new favorite ABR song.

  91. M.... C....

    3:14 Heart attack

  92. F.... D....

    I literally lost it all and I hear God say: take part in my provision! This song means so much to me

  93. K.... M....

    At about 3:00 aren't there 3 guitars playing?

    K.... M....

    @Keller Martin JB uses an octave and loop pedal.

  94. d.... l....

    This part 1:32 - 3:24 is so fucking awesome omg

  95. J.... W....

    ILLUMINATI
