5 ContributorsInternal Cannon Lyrics“Internal Cannon” is the 2nd track & the 2nd single, released on May 31 2011, from August Burn Red’s fourth album Leveler.

 

Matt Greiner:

“Internal Cannon” is a song Jake wrote about guilt and shame.… Read More I’ve feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me

Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide

I’ve thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea

Hoping the waves carry them away from me

Oh

 

My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing

My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing to stay alive

 

And here I go, off to make a change

I’m screaming, screaming revival

 

All of my strength, all of my might

Will go into this to take back my life

All of my strength, all of my might

Will go back into this to take back my life

My life, my life, my life

I’m taking back my life

My life, my life, my life, taking back my life

 

Let’s go....

 

This song is music to my ears

This song is music

And is a new production on an old stage

On an old stage

I won’t dwell in unhappiness

I will not dwell in

Grasping humility, asking forgiveness

 

 

Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today

I’ll never stop the fighting and I’ll take it all away

Tomorrow is gone, I’ll start living for today

I’ll never stop the fighting and I’ll take it away

[Verse 1: Jake Luhrs & Dustin Davidson]

I’ve thrown away all of my outside distractions

I’m diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won’t let go

It’s worthless - a waste of time

This goal is out of reach, you better fall back in line

 

[Verse 2: Jake Luhrs & Dustin Davidson]

This is what I need. You are what I need

I need motivation to prove you wrong, and I will prove you wrong

What makes you think that you are different?

How can you chase these dreams? They’ve become a chore

 

[Verse 3: Jake Luhrs]

I know I’m close. I’m almost there

Just a little more, and I will prevail

Through what you call "ignorance", I will prevail

 

[Instrumental break]

 

[Bridge: Jake Luhrs]

Now I’ve chased this dream to do what I love

And I wouldn’t trade it for a thing

Now I’ve chased this dream and I made it out alive

I wouldn’t trade it for a thing

 

[Verse 4: Jake Luhrs, Dustin Davidson, Together]

I threw away what naysayers say

And started on a race that I had to win for myself

And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong

All I’ve learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on

 

 

[Outro: Jake Luhrs]

All I’ve learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on

5 ContributorsSalt & Light Lyrics“Salt & Light” is the 8th track from August Burn Red’s fourth album Leveler.Show our eyes true color

We want to hear the trumpet roar

We want to hear the trumpet roar

With words that trample the pagan’s cavalry

Pummel the darkness with the light

 

Hand in hand, side by side, we will march with full force

With your words, from our throats, we will march with full force

 

Words that will shake the earth and boil the seas

Trample the bones of the living

Living dead as they roam the streets

Roam the streets alone

We go marching on. Let the trumpets roar. (Go)

 

I’m the harbinger, not the author of these timeless words

Led by the Comforter I sing to you

And if my throat were to be cut from ear to ear

I hope that these words

Would carry on in these songs that I pray you sing one day

We sing for you. We sing for you. We sing for you. We sing for you

We sing for you. We sing for you. We sing for you. We sing for you

5 ContributorsBoys of Fall Lyrics“Boys of Fall” is the 11th track from August Burn Red’s fourth album Leveler. It continues off of the instrumental 10th song on the album, “1/16/2011”.

“Can you tell us… Read More Reborn

 

Where do we go to escape the end of the world?

Did we, the dogs, open fire?

That you would cast this rainstorm over above our heads?

This crushing loss that brings us to our knees

 

Is there a way to live again when there’s nowhere to run?

Is there a way to live again when there’s no way to go on?

Is there a way to live again when there’s nowhere to run?

Is there a way to live again through this dark tragedy?

 

He is God. We are just men. Who are we to question?

He is God. We are just men. Who are we to question?

He is God. He is God

 

We’re figures in a forest full of haunting trees

Brushing shoulders with death to make sure we’re alive

With the whole world ahead, and our hearts left behind

 

Every word burns, branding broken souls

Pushing to move on. Soon we will be home

 

When you’ve lost your way, when you have no words

We are your strength, when you don’t have anymore. (Oh)

We are your strength. We are your strength

 

 

Oh Sunday mourning, all we had we lost

All we gained is chaos. Where we belong is with You

All we have is You. Where we belong is with You

All we have is You. Where we belong is with You. Please rescue us

 

A star can’t be seen unless all the sky decides to be dark

(decides to be dark)

Every drop of a waterfall, rushes on towards the end

 

This melody will move us. This song will lead us on

Reverence is revival. This town is reborn

This melody will move us. This song will lead us on

Reverence is revival. This town is reborn
