“Bones” by August Burns Red Lyrics
We built this new resistance to help keep our distance. Don’t feel bad for us. We are content in this new existence. We may never remember what is was like. Everything was better then you arrived. You carved your scars, and left everything fending to survive.
We made a deal with the devil disguised as help. We made a deal with the devil. We should have trusted ourselves. You imposed your will, and we’re left wondering why. You’re not here to gain knowledge. We caught you in your lie. We aren’t the kind to stand up. We aren’t the kind to rebel.

People can change, especially when they’ve been through hell. It’s in our bones to be benevolent. It’s in our souls to be of service. We’ll be nursed back to health, no longer a shell of our former selves. With our resolution we’ll find the infiltration.
Now your deception will be annihilated. You tried to increase your reach, but now the levees are breached. You got swallowed up by the people of the sea. It’s in our bones to be benevolent. It’s in our souls to be of service. Halfway is not somewhere we will ever meet.

Guitarist JB Brubaker revealed that the Guardians is one of their most collaborative pieces yet.
“Guardians is the culmination of a complete and total team effort,” he states. “Dustin [Davidson] and I collaborated musically more than we ever have before. Jake [Luhrs] and Brent collaborated vocally more than they ever have before. Matt [Greiner] bounced more drum ideas off of us than we could even comprehend.”
“It was the most time we’ve ever spent in the studio on one album. We’re all so proud of this record, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
