August Burns Red - Martyr Lyrics
Demand what you will never deserveRespect is gained by trust shown and earnedDon't mask your pride with humility,While forcing others to prove their loyaltyYou've been a hypocrite for years,Drawing swords as much as you draw their tearsDemand what you will never deserveRespect is gained by trust shown and earnedYou build you strength off of your anger,Fighting a selfish battle with no answerYour transparency has started showingDon't let fear guide you where you are goingYou would die for everyone else,But you won't live for yourselfDo you mean what you say?Do you say what you mean,Or will you find another lieAnother lie to hide behind?Keep speaking to the world aboutWhat you can't forget, you can't forgetAll the things you hold onto,Refusing to forgive those that hurt youYou're taking steps on a fine line, so you don't have to choose a sideGood deeds are not recognized, when the heart's intent is full of prideYou're taking steps on a fine line, so you don't have to choose a sideGood deeds are not recognized, when the heart's intent is full of prideOne day we hope you stop holding it on all in, and learn to let go and forgive (forgive)
