For Today - Arm The Masses Lyrics






Arm the masses! For too long, we have lived like captives. Now we fight for freedom.
Arm the masses! [x2]
Godless generation, turn around! [x3]
Turn your face away.

The weapon I hold separates soul from spirit.
The weapon I hold is the Word of the Living God.
What the eternal One has spoken, He will do.

The front lines are littered with the bodies of the unarmed.
The front lines are littered with the bodies. So, take your weapon!
The time has come for the brave to rise up. Take your weapon!
The enemy comes to destroy your vision. The time has come!
Take your sword and fight. The time has come for Truth to rise.
The time has come! Take your sword and fight. Truth is all we have in a world of deception.
Defiant, I rise. Alive again and equipped with just one weapon.
Defiant, I fight. He is eternal and supreme in victory.
Defiant, I will stand, and bow before no one but the living King, who holds the world in His hands.

Oh, It's time to step up and tear this system down, you've been waiting, when now is the time.

Are you the one who will stand up to a corrupt world system?
Are you the one who will stand and fight, now is the time, rise against them!
[x2]
Are you the one? [x2]
Stand up!

  8. C.... E....

    Only 80,000 we need this shit bigger

  9. T.... ....

    honestly this song makes me laugh

    T.... ....

    @chazzahero Deadly wrong, there is only one messiah, and your lives have been threatened. Sorry but I do the work of heaven, and earth. I am trying to break my brothers, and sisters out of the clutches of the beast system. I provided a way for our survival through my sacrifice. I war the beast system that uses the bible calling it the word of god to commit abominations in my name. The teachings of the world are a danger to my well being, and I have every right to defend myself no matter how I've been abused. The lifestyle of the wicked is unsustainable so I have to take out the garbage. What is that you do in heaven, and earth? Do you think that you should tell me how my garden should grow?

    T.... ....

    @chazzahero oh thanks dude, really appreciate being criticized like that. even though I just said the song was funny.

    T.... ....

    +Teve That typhon guy is insane lol.

    T.... ....

    I know that's not Mattie in that last part, who is it?

  10. B.... M....

    Satan's Music? Ha! This music gives Satan nightmares. I suggest you get caught up on how God is moving in this generation, because calling For Today misguided satanic music only means you're MILES behind God. Better start running.

  11. x.... ....

    i'm like Chris Motionless i'm an atheist but i like For Today

  12. m.... ....

    it is the guy

  13. J.... S....

    GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVR ME DEATH

  14. S.... ....

    Dana W, because talking about how great god is, and being christians, us totally satanic.

  15. C.... T....

    I need help For Today to assist in this change.... You need me as much as I need you to bring forth this change. I swear apon my soul I have seen and have been finding and making changes. I am being surrounded by evil ones and need help to move from here.. Please Help ME!!!

  16. C.... C....

    Great drumming. Great song!

  17. P.... C....

    Dana w sorry but not All Heavy métal band is bad if thats What yu Things back it up find me where IN thé bible does it Say That

  18. J.... M....

    amen \m/

  19. A.... U....

    in today's society i think God would be against a lot of things, pop songs that talk about one night stands, rap songs that talk about drinking and drugs, movies with violence and sex or crude humor, i dont think i could walk outside and not witness or hear this kind of stuff. I wouldnt be able to turn on a TV. i see little kids talk about this stuff, singing along with songs like this but im not here to judge, i like what i like regardless. I never met God, i only do what i think he wants me to

  20. A.... U....

    I cant believe I'm replying, im tired. I LOVE GOD and i love metal and rock music, I believe God will protect me if it is as satanic as you say it is. I will see life the way I see it, you will see it your way. No amount of words will change it because people are stubborn, they dont want to be told they are wrong. I love all music, country, rap, metal, im not going to stop. I know what im doing even if you say its wrong. People hate different, different is wrong, but i dont think that. GOD BLESS

  21. A.... U....

    To me music is music, i pay attention to the song lyrics, and they talk about standing up to bullies, not giving up, and having hope, nothing about satan or worshiping him, if it does talks about that i close it and never look it up again. It scares people because of its sounds, thats why it has that label. I can argue that i love rock, punk, metal and all other genres for that matter and how its not satanic, but im tired of arguing. I devote my life to God, that is all i need, GOD BLESS

  22. A.... ....

    look hear man do u go to church god doesnt care how u bring the people the voice of god as long as its true and dedicated and glorifying gods name so quit hating rock i hate it when "christians do this telling people rock is devils music it makes me sick

  23. A.... U....

    I love rock and metal and I love God, I see nothing wrong. If it sends me to hell one day then so be it, God knows I would die for him and I love him with more than my life. To me not all music that isnt about God is satanic, you just have to know how to handle it. Way back when, people thought that all instruments were from the devil, now they are widely used by everyone Christians and non Christians alike.I live life so i could enjoy the time God gave me, I am happy with it.

  24. A.... U....

    i guess, it does give that feeling off... my favorite song is by For Today is Ezekiel, it gives a more clearer feeling of Christianity to me anyway, besides i dont find any harm in listening to secular music as long as you know what you are doing

  25. A.... U....

    Well i am Christian and i love this music, i believe they are Christian, you dont... no need to argue

  26. W.... J....

    Seriously? Lol they're a Christian band..

  27. S.... ....

    Hate the sin, love the person.

  28. D.... ....

    Seeing them live is like 10x as intense. There have been very few times I have felt as much energy in a room as when I've been at a For Today show.

  29. D.... ....

    Because by its very nature metal(core) (anything branching off of hardcore, in my opinion) is music that is pure emotion and energy. Can you think of a better way of expressing what you really feel deep deep down inside than screaming about it like this? It just so happens their are people that this is what they feel deep deep down and they want to scream it out to the world....

    or maybe I'm completely wrong I don't know that just my take on it ;)

  30. D.... ....

    How long ago did you decide there is no god? I agree I don't believe there is a God in the sense of some guy with a white beard that lives in the sky. I used to be a militant atheist but I have since changed my views. Look around this crazy existence we live, we live on a rock flying through space. We have no idea whats going on. I will say this though, there is a weird undeniable flow to the universe something ... more? It doesn't surprise me that millions misinterpret this as god.

  31. J.... J....

    Don't get why countless Metal(core) bands do all this preaching.
    Still, I honestly like most of 'em.

  32. L.... R....

    thats because it is Drew from SFTP

  33. K.... S....

    For Today is one of the most amazing bands ive ever heard!

  34. C.... H....

    That's probably the highest I've ever heard him scream. That's awesome. This guy is a god himself.

  35. c.... ....

    THE TIME HAS COME! FOR TRUTH TO RISE!!

  36. Y.... ....

    2:30 onwards really sounds like Stray From The Path.

  37. M.... P....

    Ohh diooos *-* qe temaso la concha de su madre ! ♥ qe buena baaaaaaanda !

  38. T.... ....

    Hey everyone!! So I just uploaded my first ever vocal cover video on my channel. Please guys go check it out and let me know what you think!! Hopefully everyone enjoys it! It's called Whore to A Chainsaw by Thy Art is Murder. I know it's a little ironic posting this on a For Today video haha

  39. N.... B....

    fuck drew york's screams are too good in this song!!!

  40. N.... B....

    atheism is NOT a religion it is precisely the opposite of religion "Atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position"-Bill Maher

  41. L.... J....

    Christianity is a plague

  42. I.... l....

    You are the prime example of why atheism exists. Talk about ignorant

  43. S.... K....

    fuck this religious talk, drew york kicks ass in this.

  44. T.... C....

    0:22 that's what i'm talking about!

  45. C.... ....

    Who cares if they're christian, and least they arent preaching in their songs, at least they are pushing people to worship their religion.

  46. d.... h....

    im pretty sure an athiest doesnt believe in anything..

  47. d.... h....

    why are you athiest? im just wondering but its none of my business lol

  48. B.... A....

    @KraKerjacK5634 Drew York from Stray From The Path

  49. s.... ....

    2:28, who is that??

  50. s.... ....

    @DLGaming1 Hey man, there's plenty of atheists that respect Christians. Some of them however can be complete jerks.

  51. 1.... ....

    @Bgirlfaby I Agree ^^ I'm christian n emo n i luvs all kinda pple, especially those like Youuu!

  52. d.... ....

    @Bgirlfaby I respect you for that. I'm a religious person who doesn't crucify atheist for not believing in God. So I love to see that there are people who share this common respect for one-another.

  53. P.... S....

    @Bgirlfaby I like you! I think its awesome that you respect their message even though your athiest. Theres a lot of positive stuff in thier music. God bless and have a freaking awesome day!

  54. g.... ....

    The "Godless Generation" part is so brutal.

  55. d.... ....

    drew york makes this song great.

  56. A.... T....

    2:38 to the end, Crunkcore STW!!

  57. J.... F....

    @resetskateteam Thats not mattie thats drew from stray from the path! great band check em out

  58. n.... m....

    @LovesBreakdowns i wasnt trying to offend anyone. I do really respect anybodys beliefs. But after i only said "im an atheist..." is my original messege.holly crap, i got tons of messeges asking a lot of crap or why dont you belive, that im wrong etc. And that bothers me because i dont do that to people.

  59. K.... B....

    @Bgirlfaby okay so let me ask you this: how did the universe get here? the big bang? how did they energy for that get here? there has to be a higher power to create the very first energy

  60. n.... m....

    @GandalfOnAcid look at my response above

  61. n.... m....


    4)Scientifically speaking, what we called god and the things he supposedly did most probably were done by a extraterrentrial being. Look it up.

  62. n.... m....

    2) I refuse to belive in the idea that there is an invisible man living in the sky with a list of things he doesnt want you to do, and that of you happen to do one of those things then he sents you to a place called hell. Where you burn for eternity but God still loves you?
    3) People have used religion to manipulate, destroy societies and human beings for many many years, and i refuse to accept this into my existance.

  63. n.... m....

    To all the people that been replying to me. Here you go:
    1)I plan on living my life being the nicest person I can be and honest, helpful, and overall good. If i dont make it to "heaven" (if it where to exist) but someone that had been a horrible human being, for example a rapist,murdered,etc. does make it just because they repented right before death, then thats some bullshit. And I wouldnt wanna be in a hypocrate place like that.

  64. I.... ....

    @Bgirlfaby I have to respect you decision... I am currently lost in the dark and I cannot find the right path... to believe in a God or to believe life after death is a lie...

  65. J.... C....

    @Bgirlfaby I'm not trying to pass judgement or convert you or anything, I honestly don't know. What do you believe will happen to you after you die?

  66. T.... S....

    March 11th, Murray Hill. I'll be there, will you?

  67. K.... B....

    @kmorgan513 clever :3

  68. A.... M....

    @iareawesome222 "heart" I'm pretty sure its the wings of the beasts that sit by the throne covered in eyes. don't quote me though.

  69. A.... I....

    @amazingman40 That symbol at the top of the heart is about as far from a "Satan symbol" as you can get. Its called The Star of David.

    The "Satan symbol" you're thinking of is a pentagram. An upside down 5 pointed star. Look closely and you'll see that this one has six.

  70. S.... E....

    @Vapiras same purpose hating races does - nothing....

  71. S.... E....

    @Bgirlfaby i wouldnt be happy about that - and btw LoG randy blythe exhales....

  72. T.... ....

    To some, there isn't more to life than music. For example, most of your music artists choose music as their lives. In your eyes, God chose them to spread His word through them. In bgirlfaby's eyes, they have made music their lives. It's not about what life's about. This is about sending a message and creating something pleasing to someone's ear. If that happens, whether it be to a God-fearing man or an atheist, then it has served its purpose. You, fellow youtuber, have missed the point of music.

  73. J.... M....

    @thepeeve Oh yeah, but their a Christian band though and their lead singer is a preacher

  74. t.... ....

    @amazingman40 That's a Jewish star -_-

  75. J.... M....

    Hey whats up with the Satan symbol at the top of the circle?

  76. D.... M....

    This, makes me want to hit my friend's mom in the face. I approve.

  77. L.... o....

    @RideTheRevolt But I mean...I don't see why everyone can't just get along.

  78. F.... ....

    whoah.........

  79. R.... ....

    Is Drew Christian? Because after seeing the "Damian" video I wouldnt think so. Someone please acknowledge me. >.<

  80. I.... ....

    @Vapiras I Hate religion, But i respect the Meaning and Morals, SO i don't argue it, I just feel science is better because the falsifiable information is rapidly advanced and repaired to be better, Under the terms of cyclical consumption is different i like this song for it stands against the Corrupt system.

  81. I.... ....

    Ok,1 Im an Atheist And they are still One of the best bands EVER formed,
    2 I LOVE this song and interperate as a political stand not a religious stand.
    But still Awesome

  82. T.... ....

    I love how Drew fro SFTP is in this soooo good!

  83. D.... B....

    is there a guest vocalist for this song? :o

  84. C.... S....

    Mattie + Drew = EPIC WIN!!! Possibly the best Christian+Secular combo I've seen since Sleeping Giant and Frankie Palmeri!!!!!!!

  85. n.... m....

    I'm happy to say that I'm an atheist and I still love this band regardless of them being christian. I hate people that hate them form being christian because it should not matter, as long as the music is awesum! I respect their messege regardless.

  86. L.... C....

    chils from the whole song but especially at the end

  87. L.... o....

    I love how people go around disliking christian bands just because they are christian bands. I mean..what point does it serve hating on religion? It doesnt get you anywhere in life.

  88. E.... H....

    I hope you know AA arent satanic. They made that song to show the other side of religion. Its a good song, but dont take it to heart.

  89. E.... H....

    @Enbix Well technically that would make sense because of the rapture. He will return.

  90. M.... ....

    @JDRazorForTheWin Asking Alexandria? :P

  91. A.... B....

    Just wondering, is there a guest vocalist who does the "Are you the one, who will stand up to a corrupt world system?" It just sounds so different than the lead singer, I was just wondering :P

  92. F.... ....

    This song helps me sleep at night.

  93. C.... N....

    @IamOneHXCkid i love attila have u heard the breakdown in rage at the end!

  94. U.... b....

    When I saw them live Chris Motionless sang the end part. Awesome band and they are excellent live pretty good pits

  95. D.... D....

    dayum. this song is both brutal and heavily laiden with christian values and life style. sicky-sicky gnar-gnar.

  96. F.... ....

    @epicrainbownarwhal smoking weed is better then not smoking weed

  97. R.... S....

    i find it nessecary to take a massive toke at 1:36 now it feels so right

  98. R.... S....

    1:36 chills

  99. M.... ....

    @madame33licious Those are actually Seraphim. According to the Bible they are creatures that continually praise God. The creatures themselves have 6 wings and are covered in eyes. They are found a lot in the book of Revelation, and you can find the band's purpose for the album cover on their myspace blog.
