August Burns Red - "Crusades"

[@ABRMetalHead]

"The face that stares back in the mirror should carry nothing but pride" This Album is going to get me through the year man.

[@swag0valord0fsomalia]

I hope it did

[@AECommonThread2137]

13 years flew by. ABR was by far a big part of my development with my conflicted self. I used to get such a rush from hearing these songs; they're still so very powerful with wonderful execution. Its funny to look back; I am doing much better now!

[@justinbowen1183]

"i used to be so young and invincible, the mistakes of my youth are finally catching up to me" hit me like a tidal wave.

[@noooooooooooooo0]

It seems like a lifetime ago listening for the first time. Solid lyrics no doubt

[@ThisSourKraut]

ABR are without doubt one of the very few bands that excel in a medium that has been taken over by hacks. I'm not a Christian, but I hear what they have to say on a philosophical level. Awesome stuff!

[@luckypz6500]

absolutely true.

[@eduardpacek774]

Just watch the videos, read lyrics, listen to their interviews and the answers will come along my friend.

[@R33skylineR33]

100 % agree

[@CMCSeahawk]

One of their most underrated songs. PERFECTION.

[@jonbryant610]

Greg Renick one of the best

[@ThegreatCMFB]

This song literally saved my life, showed me there's more to life than myself. You will always hold a special place in my heart ABR, God bless you guys

[@Soundofstereos]

This is one of their best songs, definitely deserves more attention.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

I’ve never been so tired. I’ve never felt so weak, but I swear to you that I’m not giving up....... Their lyrics are REAL, not edgy or controversial.

[@DanielHuscroftt]

And now the time has come for them to play it all summer long on the 10 year constellations tour 🤘🏻

[@JonnyZye]

August Burns Red knows how to end an album. The Seventh Trumpet, Redemption, and Crusades are probably by favorite songs by them.

[@Thefierce221]

"This is my time...! To be...! With! My!! LORD!!!" The ending of this song, and the ending to this album... a perfect example of ABR's Christianity in their lyrics.

[@SJLuis]

The entire song. "Crusades" aka "Holy War" and he talks about not giving up. It's likely he's talking about falling into temptation and the like. In reality I think all of their lyrics are Christian but not outright, you have to look for it.

[@Havi666]

Fucking 13 years man i still think about this song

[@D3DF1SH420]

13 years later and they still are amazing

[@BrandonVance-iw8ul]

14

[@jonathancondor1025]

Timeless music

[@GuenniKurti]

This was the first ABR song I've ever listened to and it made me instantly fall in love with them. I can't even describe how excited I am that soon after all this years, I'm finally gonna see them play it live on the 10 Years of Constellations tour. I have no idea why they never played this song at their shows before.

[@ACommonMisdemeanor]

That opening where the guitar kept getting higher and higher gives me goosebumps every time. Just makes me feel like i have the drive to do anything.

[@lorrainegatanianhits8331]

It's even better with the transition from "Meddler" into "Crusades".

[@nakidrummer]

Matt: Maybe I should ease up on the chinas Jake: DEEEESSSCCCCCEEENNNDDDD Matt: Forget that idea. * Chang chang chang chang

[@FX-xl9jl]

Lmao i read the comment at the exact moment 1:00

[@baner3]

Love it bro

[@chrisarnold175]

Your music saved me when I got shipped overseas right out of highschool for a few years. For that I am very grateful. I've been to your annual Christmas Burns red In Lancaster several times. May try to get the Meet and greet package this year 👍 rock on mate's.

[@abisheksamuel2547]

Listening to this song after 7 years!! The last time I listened to this song I heard the riffs an insane drumming, now, 7 years later, I hear my own voice in the lyrics. When you've had it with the shit life throws at you, and come back to this song... Damn the feeling is surreal... You guys are from beyond!

[@Drillian]

Just the other day, i was sitting in the car with my brother-in-law listening to a Christian christmas album, and ABR's cover of Carrol of the bells came on. I liked this band since then, and all i heard were the instruments! This is a great band! One of my favorites along with Demon Hunter, The Showdown and Project 86. I love that there are more Christian bands that are Metal like this. They sound wonderful, and they get the Message out. God bless them and their families. God bless their work.

[@bradleywilliams1323]

The BEST album outro ever created With three fountains off of guardians a close second. Easily my favorite band. No ones ever been so consistent, Lyrically impactful, instrumentally diverse and technical, powerful and just such heartearming and peaceful individuals

[@swag0valord0fsomalia]

Just saw them play this album in its entirety at WWWY24 Las Vegas. Incredible musicians

[@liamchristiansen8773]

I saw them play this live and that breakdown at 1:00 literally ruptured my insides

[@stefan82010]

WHAAAAT! On the Mesengers tour? I've seen them twice, they haven't played this one!

[@liamchristiansen8773]

stefan82010 nahh it was a longgg as time ago

[@serpenthyne9223]

Can wait to hear this for the Constellations tour.

[@auliafebby08]

and i love the blast beats after that breakdown

[@connorkennedy2035]

There lyrics make me get on my knees and pray! Ive been going through something hard and I can just listen to them and its like im all better and all the sudden i forget that im hurt.

[@JakeTheHunter23]

i swear, one of the best break downs ever

[@connorkennedy2035]

1:00 point is where its at! crazy breakdown style! Matt Greiner is my insparation! And probably many of yours. :)

[@diegodevilman]

absolutely amazing lyrics

[@montoyazach]

this morning i was playin this song in my head, and having tears of joy saying its so beautiful. i was checked into the hospital for alchohol poisoning and i feel that this song is what kept me conscious throughout the hole thing. i wanted to pass out but when, i would play in my head the im tired and i swear to you part, id feel like i need to stay awake for just a little bit longer.. i love you so much august burns red, thank you. your lyrics and words are so inspiring.

[@xy9667]

deeeeeeesceeeeeennddd!!

[@daffafauzan5655]

*headbangs*

[@xy9667]

Headbangs along.. sorry it has been 6 years.. how are you? :-)

[@MatthewG88]

this song pumps me up everytime in the gym

[@DerPilotMann]

I love that ABR is so clear about the fact that they are a christian band and that their goal isnt just to entertain but the spread His word... it really makes me want to get back into my religion...

[@MCManchego]

ABR makes me think of Michael and Gabriel and all the archangels crushing all evil. Thumbs up if you have the will and strength of a Lion, and the heart of a lamb.

[@NinjaonCrXXk]

I love August Burns Red, I don't care if they are a Christian band or not, I grew up listening to them.

[@Decmayn]

You're gunna last forever brothers, trust in the movement 💯💪❤️

[@thomasdaddio741]

I was in a place in my life where I thought I couldn't go further... This was the first album I had bought in years. Glad I bought it

[@sbait3]

This song was released on my birthday, 2 years ago, and ever since this song has meant so much to me Thanks ABR

[@ErikPehrsson]

I have to say, this song is one of my all-time favorites. Very cool 🙌🔥👌👌

[@BitShiZ]

Rip Jief . "praying for the light to just carry me away. Im praying for the light to just carry me away, Say goodnight. Say goodnight. Say goodbye. Say goodbye. This is my time to be with my Lord."

[@Amiamigg]

I love this song. And everytime I reach 3.30 I just close my eyes and enjoy. I cry and get goosebumps every friggin time, no exceptions. Goddam.

[@andrewbranson8539]

This song still gives me goosebumps in 2023.

[@ExoticLemonPepper1012]

I used to listen to this song, back in my junior year of High School; never really paid attention to the lyrics until now. Crazy how things make sense years later.

[@R33skylineR33]

I don't even have the words to describe how awesome this band is .

[@MrSuperfrog6]

God is God Music is music It doesent matter what type Music is still music The content of the music is the part that matters And the contend of this music is good So why fight about how these people praise God? There still getting the message across Rememder there are many ways to praise God and this is just one of them. Thumb this up so it's at the top and Every one can read.

[@Victorforu]

just listened 2 the entire album... all their songs are awesome! this has to be their best album yet!

[@gkdrummerboy]

These lyrics, theis musicianship, this blend of talent and strength is what set's aside metalcore from the rest of music.

[@JakeHudsonDrums]

i totally want this played at my funeral. majority of my family can't stand this genre of music but dangit... my funeral, my music. i'll be the first man with a circle pit in the deceased's honor c:

[@Breeelax]

This song have so much awesome moments... very touching, just great!

[@jesusfreak4eva94]

I really dig the whole mellow part around 3:30. I'm not a religious person...so despite the last part of these lyrics, this song is fantabulous.

[@X4z4x]

[@TheRecode]

I very love chritsian music. ABR is my favorite band!

[@gdaddymack1]

[@xScreamToRisex]

[@R33skylineR33]

[@213SEMPERFI]

Beautiful song !

[@RileyKatMcgee]

[@itsamystery94]

best song on the album by farrrr

[@COOLBEANS8029]

[@hpepper41]

@TheNegativeimpact they definitly deserve A LOT more but not more then any artist... theres some really good bands that deserve more. ABR deserves a lot... if they win a grammy award or something, my life'll be complete

[@whosaidwhatwherewhy]

I wish they would release a tab book for this album!!

[@bwulf]

they released it this week! (1 year ago, but i thought you might still want it)

[@IshmamAhmed]

I've heard 8 ABR songs so far and i fucking love every one of them

[@Fr33Candy]

Thrill seekers , messengers, and constellations are literally their bests albums. By far

[@anonymousdude2224]

Amazing lyrics

[@napsy6874]

Yeah me too, such greatness as in almost every song

[@14sarabia]

Traducido al español ________ Yo solía ser tan joven e invencible. Los errores de mi juventud están finalmente poniéndose al día para mí. El rostro que mira hacia atrás en el espejo debe llevar nada más que orgullo. Como pasan los días, cada vez es más difícil mantener mi cabeza en alto. Nunca he estado tan cansado, Nunca me he sentido tan débil, Pero te juro que yo no me doy por vencido. Mi vida legendaria está llegando a un descenso elegante. Desciende. He visto El final de la paz y las batallas de comenzar. No voy a olvidar la vida que me tocó. No voy a olvidar la vida que conozco. A medida que pasan los días, se está haciendo más duro mantener mi cabeza en alto. Yo solía pensar que duraría para siempre. Estoy orando para que la luz sólo me llevará lejos. Di las buenas noches. Diga adiós. Este es mi tiempo para estar con mi señor.

[@TheHxclacey]

this song is so goooddd

[@chrisrh281]

Masterpiece.

[@doggiejumper2]

i love this song soo much :) its soo good :) it has a good wording to it and it sounds soo good :)

[@KingKrebin]

Best song

[@bryce143283]

best song ever!!!!

[@Tqmi72]

What can I say? This is absolutely amazing!!

[@philthisin]

Praise God!

[@S_Z55555]

I truly believe in the power of spiritual words in songs no mather the realigion it referring to. I am Jewish, but this song and others by ABR take on a different meaning when you read the lyrics. "This is my time with my Lord" - for the Jews, this refers to Hashem, the one and only. Their songs, although written from a Christian perspective, carry a lot of power and can be interpreted by all monotheistic religions, and for that, I am grateful.

[@jgonz185]

"I used to think I'd last forever" was the completion of my face meltage.

[@R33skylineR33]

This is a masterpiece

[@wildzach]

best breakdown evar

[@TheTater309]

Indeed.

[@JonnyZye]

I think he means that they wouldn't be as good as they are without their inspiration from God, I believe that is apparent.

[@OneWithGuns93]

I want this song played at my funeral

[@adammusic21]

Talk about knowing how to close an album! That's saying something! Constellations is amazing!!

[@putocof]

BIG BAND! THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD, OF METALCORE!

[@MrGoodliving097]

Best Song Ever

[@Picklosaurus]

The #1 Breakdown of all time, hands down. Holy fuck.
