The Truth of a Liar Lyrics
Allow what’s done to preach new insight to your life.
Hindsight is perfect vision.
The past is easiest to see.
Clear a path, Stand aside.
We’re carrying the torch now,
There’s no stopping us.
You think you’re everything to everyone.
Go ahead, Partake in it,Justify it. Become engulfed in it.
It will eat you alive.
This is not a one way road,
You’re headed for the dead end.
You might think you’re everything to everyone.
Well pardon me if I intrude.
You’re not a perfect man in a perfect world, Look at where your ignorance has brought you.
All this will be buried.
Like the fall of Rome, you will come crashing down.
The truth hurts, but denial’s what will kill you.
All that you loved, all that you treasure, will pass with time.
Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood.
Shifting blame with a log in your eye. Insisting that a string tied to your limbs is what’s to blame.
Suck it up and bite the bullet.
Hindsight is perfect vision.
The past is easiest to see.
Clear a path, Stand aside.
We’re carrying the torch now,
There’s no stopping us.
You think you’re everything to everyone.
Go ahead, Partake in it,Justify it. Become engulfed in it.
It will eat you alive.
This is not a one way road,
You’re headed for the dead end.
You might think you’re everything to everyone.
Well pardon me if I intrude.
You’re not a perfect man in a perfect world, Look at where your ignorance has brought you.
All this will be buried.
Like the fall of Rome, you will come crashing down.
The truth hurts, but denial’s what will kill you.
All that you loved, all that you treasure, will pass with time.
Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood.
Shifting blame with a log in your eye. Insisting that a string tied to your limbs is what’s to blame.

AUGUST BURNS RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure this is about people who don't take responsibility for there actions and always blame someone else when they fuck up
it sounds like a person that just keeps using excuses his/her' whole life and that will be his/her's downfall. THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING.
Taking responsibility into your own hands. Don't be ignorant but live life the way you want to. Amazing Song and an Amazing band!
It's about becoming a Christian. And how non-Christians go around like nothing's wrong with their life and nothing is missing. "Go ahead, partake in it, justify it. Become engulfed in it." That's saying you know you're doing something wrong, but you're justifying it, and making excuses for everything you're not doing. And even for some Christians out there. Some of us have become lazy and have not taken going to Church seriously. We're not supposed to live our life the way we want to, but the way God wants us to. And if you don't believe this then... "The truth hurts, but denials what will kill you."
God doesn't want you to go to church. God doesn't want you to have any rules. I believe if God does exist, he wants you to live your life and ignore all the extra religion bullshit. As long as you truly love God and try to live your life to please him you will go to heaven. Church-going and reading the bible has nothing to do with God.

I mean no offence to you, as I was raised Christian, but I thought about it on my own, and to me the bible is just another way to convince people they have to be religious to get to heaven. My point is, you don't need a label to get in. Saying you're a 'christian' is labelling yourself. God doesn't care what you call yourself, as long as your heart is in the right place.
AdamBurnsRed, What was the message that God was sending when the Angel Gabriel showed himself to Abraham?

Now what I get from that message is that man is given power from God as well. Fact is that Jesus died on the cross to give us free will. It is God who gave us eyes to see the sun, it is God who gave us hands to work. It is God who gave us ears to hear, it is also God that gave us our mental capacity of understanding His grace and Awesome power. Sure He wants us to recognize the gifts were given, who wouldn't? Now don't you think that the same being who gave us...

Yes, God wants us to live our life but we must sacrifice ourselves to go to church and pray and fast and read the bible. He sacrificed his only begotten son for us and its the least we can do to live for Him. We must not live in flesh but live in the spirit more because what is this world to us if its going to end, Jesus is everlasting life and if you can sacrifice yourself here on earth just for Him then He will give you the gift of salvation. READ YOUR BIBLE!

Awesome song. Further proof that Matt is one of the best and most versatile drummers in metal right now and that JB is one of the best songwriters. Can't wait for the new album on June 19th.
its pretty much saying learn from your mistakes dont accept them and its bascially for ignorant people who think there so important to the world its about a few things really but the good thing about messengers is the meanings are pretty literal
AdamBurnsRed I think is the closest although all have had bits that are close. I think it is a call to every faithful christian to stop talking the talk and to start walking the walk. I totally agree with the engulfing part about so many people christian and non christian that justify the things they do in life by just doing and not accepting the consequences of their decisions. But the last stanza is interesting with the "log in the eye" reference from the Bible. Basically being stated that people that are commiting wrongs have no place in telling others their faults when they are just as wrong.
Adam and soccero i agree with you both and think you did good analogies and i see it the same way as both of you. and i believe its true. i have been a fake christian and now im partaking in being serious and going to church 5-6 days a week seeking god. im looking at life totally different now in a better way and i wont give it up for anything!
being christian doesnt mean you have to go to church 5-6 days a week.

"the walls of a church don't make it holy, it's what's authentic that completes the sum of its parts"
"the walls of a church don't make it holy, it's what's authentic that completes the sum of its parts"
Your right about the meaning but I think its more like how devout christians think they are all perfect and everything BECAUSE theyre devout christians. I think its saying that your not everything if you think you are and that God is everything no matter how much you believe you are.

The lyric "Shifting blame with a log in your eye" refers to a Bible verse that attacks people who are basically "the pot calling the kettle black". I can't remember the exact phrasing of the verse right now, but it basically says "why worry about the splinter in your neighbor's eye when you have a plank of wood in your own"?
