August Burns Red - The Blinding Light Lyrics






The fear is what shelters them.
It's what shades their eyes and muffles their ears.
Keep them inside.
Lock them up in a closet known as home.
In here no one can find them.
In here no one can fill them with filth.
They were born with the silverware clenched in their teeth, and so help us, they will die with it too.
None of them will make anything of themselves.
They don't need their own lives.
The ones we have planned will work just fine.
The world is a terrifying place.
Without us they will never make it.
They will never reach their potential.
They will never ever surpass us.
Without our watchful eye, they might just leave us behind.

August Burns Red The Blinding Light Comments
  1. A.... P....

    Nice break 👍

  2. M.... S....

    1:49 shivers fron chrord progression and riffs 😌

    M.... S....

    Honestly my favourite part idk why

  3. J.... B....

    Messengers will always be my favorite August Burns Red album, songs like this, Back Burner and Composure are my reason why

  4. M.... N....

    I like this rock song

  5. R.... G....

    2:57 aquí empieza lo mejor del tema

  6. U.... A....

    Im back

  7. A.... Z....

    I think i'm going to get a concussion from how hard I've been headbanging to this

  8. C.... M....

    Groove the fuck out at 4:30

  9. P.... M....

    I gotta moderate how often I listen to this song cause that rift at 1:34 always makes me lose my shit

  10. C.... M....

    Saw these guys live at Carolina Rebellion in 2016 for my birthday, and hell of a show they put on. I'm hoping I get to see them again.

  11. C.... D....

    Can't freaking wait to hear this song live in February in Houston ! Going to be lit !

    C.... D....

    Hell yeah! I'm gonna see them the 28th this month, so freaking excited!

  12. D.... M....

    Really wish the lead work in this band was up to par with the rest of the instruments!

    D.... M....

    wat? LIKE WAT ?

    D.... M....

    That might be one of the strangest comments I have ever seen on You Tube. What in the heck are you talking about? JB is one of the genre's very best. Don't be elitist.

  13. V.... F....

    Possibly their greatest song to date!

  14. R.... R....

    true number

  15. m.... ....

    It is absolutely impossible to not get chills and pumped up at 1:23. That melodic guitar lead up to the breakdown is just genius. Love it.

  16. M.... N....

    2:35-2:56 is the reason I love Metal.

    M.... N....

    +The0Gene You must be a drummer?

    M.... N....

    Actually, I'm not. Just the combination of the blast beats and catchy guitar riffs really gets me. Though I did play percussion in Middle School. 

    M.... N....

    saw this song live a month back (actually saw the whole messsengers cd and then some) matt greiner and jb are awesome!

    M.... N....

    0:56-1:49

  17. D.... ....

    1:22-2:35 is just amazing.

  18. a.... ....

    Such a good song, and the ending connects with Composure so well I get shivers

  19. D.... L....

    I get a music boner from this
    Soo BAD ASS

  20. G.... ....

    metalcore/deathcore all my life!

    G.... ....

    ABR is just metalcore :P

    G.... ....

    Or were you saying you just like both genres xD

    G.... ....

    @Skyy | Editor aham, i like both genres.

  21. P.... ....

    this song makes me moist 

  22. A.... L....

    1:35 is probably the best breakdown i have ever heard.

  23. G.... ....

    One of their best songs !

  24. T.... N....

    This is a great song regardless of genre. Why do people waste time arguing about genre? If it's good, it's good. That's the only thing that matters.

  25. E.... J....

    Check my cover out ! /watch?v=79pBT8hID2M

  26. l.... ....

    absolutely false! the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior invented christcore in approximately 20 AD as one of his famous acts of miracles... dude, look up the Bible for evidence!
    just kidding people, don't be upset

  27. S.... G....

    Matt Greiner truly shows his drumming skills in this song! So Sick!!

  28. E.... H....

    Everybody cease with the genre battling. These guys are pop/rock. Go buy there CD and you'll see what im talking about.

  29. G.... ....

    1:48 Epic drum beat

  30. G.... ....

    and BFMV is homocore

  31. B.... ....

    ONLY METALCOREEEE, eso de post hardcore que mierdas es emorroides de shit!
    AUGUST BURNS REDD rompiendolaaaa como siempree

  32. J.... O....

    @0:56 Ray Mears, no one can find him.

  33. m.... ....

    3:25 My dick just exploded.

  34. s.... ....

    Yeah They're metalcore.

  35. C.... ....

    i got a little advice for you man, check up on your facts before commenting, ABR themselves claim to be within the genre of metal and hardcore. and even if i was wrong, you really had to correct me on being one word off? and i can tell that from the fact that i made my comment 4 months ago and you 1 week ago, someone doesnt have much of a life but going through youtube comments.

  36. N.... ....

    They aren't post hardcore, they're metalcore.

  37. M.... L....

    dude I probably just listened to that part 10 times in a row.

  38. C.... ....

    your auto correct didn't realize that this isn't screamo to begin with, ABR is metalcore/ hardcore.

  39. B.... M....

    Sorry I meant screamo STUPID AUTO CORRECT!!

  40. B.... M....

    By far the best screaming song (my opinion) even more than HTML roolz dood by the devil wears prada collision by as I lay dying and a lot like Vegas by bring me the horizon ( my favorite songs)

  41. n.... ....

    alright so someone help me out here please, is that last breakdown a polyrhythm? I tried counting it because it sounded weird and it repeats every 3 measures and the phrase is made up of 6 beats... i know that if the two numbers have a common divisor its not a polyrhythm but it sounds so polyrhythmic i didnt know if i was counting it wrong or not

  42. N.... C....

    im afraid im going to destroy my speakers

  43. Z.... G....

    i wish they would play this live still.... one day time travel will be reality.

    Z.... G....

    Zack Gerber they're doing a tour for Messengers ten year anniversary. so you can see them perform this song if you catch them on tour 👍🏽

    Z.... G....

    Zack Gerber saw them two nights ago in London Ontario, they played this. Pit was fkn insane.

  44. D.... T....

    @dannyboiiLP14 breakdowns.

  45. D.... T....

    @harrisoncs15 /watch?v=j-PMFSRzaf8 at 2:20

  47. p.... ....

    @ManuelIgnacioSegovia they're gods

  48. M.... S....

    These guys aren't humans

  49. G.... P....

    @harrisoncs15 Crusades has a better one, or listen to Misery Signals (thats another band)

  83. r.... ....

    Its hard to type a positive comment when the remains of my face is all over the keyboard...

  84. C.... C....

    everyone who responded to ava4lyfe is troll bait you guys are so gullible ya see a hata, dont pay attention only way to kill a trolls to starve it

  85. I.... ....

    Gives me Chills...

  86. s.... ....

    @ava4lyfe And I'm assuming you could do better?

  87. E.... A....

    @ava4lyfe yeah well i play an instrument. I've been playing guitar for about 6 years and I can play most of ABR's songs including Composure, Back Burner, Barbarian, Indonesia, Up Against the Ropes, and a few others. I can tell you that ABR's music is MUCH more than breakdowns. They are hands-down the most dynamic Metalcore band out there. I'd like to see you try to play ANY of their songs u judgmental piece of shit.

  88. C.... D....

    @metalhead7369 ATB= After The Burial. Give them a listen...you'll enjoy

  89. K.... H....

    @manu1992full And i don't understand a word you just said.

  90. S.... ....

    ava4lyfe you a little bitch. talk shit about abr cause u dont know how 2 play guitar. shut the fuck up and stick with justin bieber ok? since you have no idea what music is anyways go listen to him

  91. S.... S....

    @QJ111213 They're Technichal Metalcore, I'm a huge fan of Technical Deathcore and Metalcore 'cause it's always different anmd more creative after every album

  92. K.... ....

    epic lyrics as usual

  93. p.... ....

    there is 17 justin bieber lovers on this site.....GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

  94. p.... ....

    For all you rockers out there that watched the HellYeah vid and responded to my comment and came here cuz of me.... Keep the HARD ROCK and METAL the FUCK alive...... Dont let that pop SHIT take over. Keep giving the thumbs UP!!!!

  95. S.... A....

    @ava4lyfe dude FUCK NO! dont even put matt greiner in the same sentence as that piece of shit

  96. D.... ....

    @ava4lyfe Haha d00d, I've been playing guitar for a little less than 2 years and I know that the part 0:36 sounds NOTHING like thunderstruck. You should really stop hating. August Burns Red is way to cool for you to be talking smack to. Hella great song!
