This was the song I wanted my sister to hear before she died from Cancer in August. It’s hard for me to listen to, but this song carries the weight. It carries the burden. RED, continue pushing, and making music that helps us GET THROUGH IT ALL!
in a way I can relate. God, Red and my therapist are what got me through darkest 4 years of my life, with self-harm, anxiety keeping me awake at countless nights, depression, self-hate, feeling guilty all the time. Red music helped (and still does) me to verbalise the emotions I had, not feeling more guilty about being both Christian and depressed. It was a piece of what God did to save my life back then, when Out from Under spoke my heart. I am so sorry for your loss, mudvayneimn .. I don't have good words, but hold tight.. Hugs ♥
Leave it all behind you That's fine But sometimes The buried comes crawling back to you You were gone, I paid your price You left your mark, my sacrifice This open wound where you can hide To look away and bite the knife Cauterize, when it bleeds Burn away the broken lies that I still believe Meet the flame, let it inside And cauterize, I'll cauterize you The innocence you pretend That's mine The proof of you Is written on my skin Cauterize, when it bleeds Burn away the broken lies that I still believe Meet the flame, let it inside And cauterize, I'll cauterize you When the dead won't stay buried From the war that is raging Cauterize, cauterize, cauterize A thousand scars betray me Oh, what's another one? At least they make me feel Like I'm not the only one Oh, am I the only one? Oh, are we the only ones? Cauterize, when it bleeds Wash away the broken lies that I still believe Meet the flame, let it inside And cauterize, I'll cauterize you You, you, you, you
@@prabhashchandra9116 I've already heard couple of their songs. They're also on my favorite band list. DIARY OF JANE was one of my favorites. There's a lot more like SKILLET, THOUSAND FOOT CRUTCH, 3 DAYS GRACE, ASHES REMAIN, Bring me the Horizon, Evanscene etc.
@@Newtoniumx Well, Red themselves, for one. And many others as well. For many, he has been what's gotten them through this hard year. For many, he has been the peace and strength to keep going. For many, he is the hope of dawn when NO ONE is promised tomorrow. Maybe you don't care, but millions do.
Thank you, Red, for this song that brings awareness to those who struggle with depression. I cried the first time I heard this song; it's like a testimony for me and those like me. Keep coming out with songs like this and Glass House
The problem is the algorithm prioritizes cancer. And red is NOT cancer. Also youtube manipulates views of channels they don't like. UA-cam even takes away subs and likes from channels they deem politically too incorrect..
RED - the band that has kept me going when I was in the darkness through all of 2020 and the latter half of 2019. So many songs that spoke to me, expressed what I was feeling better than I could. Please never stop - it's not "just music" to many.
Best screams I think I've ever heard in a song. I love the fact they completely overdo it with the screams as well, especially at the end. It contrasts so well with the calmer and more melodic parts

I read CS lewis' book "The Great Divorce" on the part about the Little Red Lizard, an analogy of a man (the ghost) overcoming his lusts (personified as a red lizard on his shoulder) and sin through a painful purification of the soul by The Burning One (Angel of The Lord). Played the song while I read it, its epic and got me emotional. -- I saw coming towards us a Ghost [a visitor from “hell”] who carried something on his shoulder. Like all the Ghosts, he was insubstantial, but they differed from one another as smokes differ. Some had been whitish; this one was dark and oily. What sat on his shoulder was a little red lizard, and it was twitching its tail like a whip and whispering things in his ear. As we caught sight of him he turned his head to the reptile with a snarl of impatience. “Shut up, I tell you!” he said. It wagged its tail and continued to whisper to him. He ceased snarling, and presently began to smile. Then he turned and started to limp westward, away from the mountains [“heaven”]. “Off so soon?” said a voice. The speaker was more or less human in shape but larger than a man, and so bright that I could hardly look at him. His presence smote on my eyes and on my body too (for there was heat coming from him as well as light) like the morning sun at the beginning of a tyrannous summer day. “Yes. I’m off,” said the Ghost. “Thanks for all your hospitality. But it’s no good, you see. I told this little chap,” (here he indicated the lizard), “that he’d have to be quiet if he came - which he insisted on doing. Of course his stuff won’t do here: I realize that. But he won’t stop. I shall just have to go home.” “Would you like me to make him quiet?” said the flaming Spirit - an angel, as I now understood. “Of course I would,” said the Ghost. “Then I will kill him,” said the Angel, taking a step forward. “Oh - ah - look out! You’re burning me. Keep away,” said the Ghost, retreating. “Don’t you want him killed?” “You didn’t say anything about killing him at first. I hardly meant to bother you with anything so drastic as that.” “It’s the only way,” said the Angel, whose burning hands were now very close to the lizard. “Shall I kill it?” “Well, that’s a further question. I’m quite open to consider it, but it’s a new point, isn’t it? I mean, for the moment I was only thinking about silencing it because up here - well, it’s so damned embarrassing.” “May I kill it?” “Well, there is time to discuss that later.” “There is no time. May I kill it?” “Please, I never meant to be such a nuisance. Please - really - don’t bother. Look! It’s gone to sleep of its own accord. I’m sure it’ll be all right now. Thanks ever so much.” “May I kill it?” “Honestly, I don’t think there’s the slightest necessity for that. I’m sure I shall be able to keep it in order now. I think the gradual process would be far better than killing it.” “The gradual process is of no use at all.” “Don’t you think so? Well, I’ll think over what you’ve said very carefully. I honestly will. In fact I’d let you kill it now, but as a matter of fact I’m not feeling frightfully well today. It would be silly to do it now. I’d need to be in good health for the operation. Some other day, perhaps.” “There is no other day. All days are present now.” “Get back! You’re burning me. How can I tell you to kill it? You’d kill me if you did.” “It is not so.” “Why, you’re hurting me now.” “I never said it wouldn’t hurt you, I said it wouldn’t kill you.” “Oh, I know. You think I’m a coward. But it isn’t that. Really it isn’t. I say! Let me run back by tonight’s bus and get an opinion from my own doctor. I’ll come again the first moment I can.” “This moment contains all moments.” Why are you torturing me? You are jeering at me. How can I let you tear me to pieces? If you wanted to help me, why didn’t you kill the damned thing without asking me - before I knew? It would be all over by now if you had.” “I cannot kill it against your will. It is impossible. Have I your permission?” The Angel’s hands were almost closed on the Lizard, but not quite. Then the Lizard began chattering to the Ghost so loud that even I could hear what it was saying. “Be careful,” it said. “He can do what he says. He can kill me. One fatal word from you and he will! Then you’ll be without me forever and ever. It’s not natural. How could you live? You’d only be a sort of ghost, not a real man as you are now. He doesn’t understand. It may be natural for him, but it isn’t for us. Yes, yes. I know there are no real pleasures now, only dreams. But aren’t they better than nothing? And I’ll be so good. I admit I’ve sometimes gone too far in the past, but I promise I won’t do it again. I’ll give you nothing but really nice dreams - all sweet and fresh and almost innocent...”. “Have I your permission?” said the Angel to the Ghost. “I know it will kill me.” “It won’t. But supposing it did?”. “You’re right. It would be better to be dead than to live with this creature.”. “Then I may?”. “Damn and blast you! Go on, can’t you? Get it over. Do what you like,” bellowed the Ghost: but ended, whimpering, “God help me. God help me.”. Next moment the Ghost gave a scream of agony such as I never heard on Earth. The Burning One closed his crimson grip on the reptile: twisted it, while it bit and writhed, and then flung it, broken backed, on the turf. “Ow! That’s done for me,” gasped the Ghost, reeling backwards. For a moment I could make out nothing distinctly. Then I saw, between me and the nearest bush, unmistakably solid but growing every moment solider, the upper arm and the shoulder of a man. Then, brighter and still stronger, the legs and hands. The neck and golden head materialized while I watched... the actual completing of a man - an immense man, naked, not much smaller than the Angel. What distracted me was the fact that at the same moment something seemed to be happening to the Lizard. At first I thought the operation had failed. So far from dying, the creature was still struggling and even growing bigger as it struggled. And as it grew it changed. Its hinder parts grew rounder. The tail, still flickering, became a tail of hair that flickered between huge and glossy buttocks. Suddenly I started back, rubbing my eyes. What stood before me was the greatest stallion I have ever seen, silvery white but with mane and tail of gold. It was smooth and shining, rippled with swells of flesh and muscle, whinneying and stamping with its hoofs. At each stamp the land shook and the trees dindled.[trembled] The new-made man turned and clapped the new horse’s neck. It nosed his bright body. Horse and master breathed each into the other’s nostrils. The man turned from it, flung himself at the feet of the Burning One, and embraced them. When he rose I thought his face shone with tears, but it may have been only the liquid love and brightness (one cannot distinguish them in that country) which flowed from him. I had not long to think about it. In joyous haste the young man leaped upon the horse’s back. Turning in his seat he waved a farewell, then nudged the stallion with his heels. They were off before I well knew what was happening. There was riding if you like! I came out as quickly as I could from among the bushes to follow them with my eyes; but already they were only like a shooting star far off on the green plain, and soon among the foothills of the mountains. Then, still like a star, I saw them winding up, scaling what seemed impossible steeps, and quicker every moment, till near the dim brow of the landscape, so high that I must strain my neck to see them, they vanished, bright themselves, into the rose-brightness of that everlasting morning. While I still watched, I noticed that the whole plain and forest were shaking with a sound which in our world would be too large to hear, but there I could take it with joy. I know it was not the Solid People who were singing. It was the voice of that earth, those woods and those waters. A strange archaic, inorganic noise, that came from all directions at once... It sang, “The Master says to our master, Come up. Share my rest and splendor till all natures that were your enemies become slaves to dance before you...” “From beyond all place and time, out of the very Place, authority will be given you: the strengths that once opposed you shall be obedient fire in your blood and heavenly thunder in your voice.” “Overcome us that, so overcome, we may be ourselves: we desire the beginning of your reign as we desire dawn and dew, wetness at the birth of light.”
There is no sound like yours. Always the soundtrack to Armageddon. Angels and demons locked in eternal war. The orchestral strings and the heavy electric bass chords pair so ethereally. Red is the all time greatest band, hands down. Thank you for keeping it real and bringing the magic.
Great song from an incredible album. This album easily became my new favorite Red album, finally overthrowing Until We Have Faces for me. I love that this whole album is just heavy hitting rock. I do like the softer songs you've done, too. Never Be The Same is my all-time favorite Red song.
Yes I like that they can do both so well but not a fan if their weird albums like gone and release the panic. Don't get me wrong theres a few songs on those 2 albums I loved but for the most part I cant do it.
I love this song so much. The first time I heard it, 2:21 hit me hard with End of Silence vibes and actually made me cry. Thank you, Red, for embracing the sound that defines who you are. God bless, and Happy 2021!
This was the song I wanted my sister to hear before she died from Cancer in August. It’s hard for me to listen to, but this song carries the weight. It carries the burden. RED, continue pushing, and making music that helps us GET THROUGH IT ALL!

The best Christian rock band!! Aqui do Brasil!!🇧🇷🇧🇷
sorry but demonhunter takes that title
Leave it all behind you
That's fine
But sometimes
The buried comes crawling back to you
You were gone, I paid your price
You left your mark, my sacrifice
This open wound where you can hide
To look away and bite the knife
Cauterize, when it bleeds
Burn away the broken lies that I still believe
Meet the flame, let it inside
And cauterize, I'll cauterize you
The innocence you pretend
That's mine
The proof of you
Is written on my skin
Cauterize, when it bleeds
Burn away the broken lies that I still believe
Meet the flame, let it inside
And cauterize, I'll cauterize you
When the dead won't stay buried
From the war that is raging
Cauterize, cauterize, cauterize
A thousand scars betray me
Oh, what's another one?
At least they make me feel
Like I'm not the only one
Oh, am I the only one?
Oh, are we the only ones?
Cauterize, when it bleeds
Wash away the broken lies that I still believe
Meet the flame, let it inside
And cauterize, I'll cauterize you
You, you, you, you
Kris Gorden Thank you very much for the lyric's!!! And damn the lyric's right!! 🖤🖤🤘🤘💯💯🤟🤟💜⚡💡
Thank you soooo much!
Thanks dude! Love this song so much!😘😁
80,019 only? deserves more, fan from brazil
Cauterize was the very last song I listened to in 2020. It’s probably their best song to date.
I personally enjoy What You Keep Alive the most, but Cauterize is definitely up there. Best from Declaration imo
@@bali_kab04 What you keep alive is so good! Of beauty and Rage is a masterpiece!
Not my number one, but on par with my other favs
Lost is their best.
I can't choose a favorite. I would have too many. Best imo is Lie to Me an Hymn for the Missing.
This track is pure FIRE!!!!!! RED is pure FIRE!!!! And the vocals...I don´t even know to start describing how GREAT it is!!!
RED will always be on my top band list after LP. Since we lost the legend RIP Chester, they're the ones filling that void. ❤️🙏❤️
Do listen to Breaking Benjamin then. Won't be disappointed.

So amazing!!‼‼

Damn. I've haven't listened to Red in a hot minute.
His voice sounds better than ever.

Thank you, Red, for this song that brings awareness to those who struggle with depression. I cried the first time I heard this song; it's like a testimony for me and those like me. Keep coming out with songs like this and Glass House
Was absolutely sick live
This video gives me "Breathe Into Me" vibes. Absolutely love it! Miss you guys. Hope to see you in 2021!
I agree. Something with the color scheme and the vertical black lines makes me think if the film strips from Breathe Into Me.
'out from under' and 'overtake you' are both as dramatic as breath into me/lost if you've not already delved.
@@Rampagedd their music is godly
agree, has more of their older stuff vibe which i miss.
This is definitely one of the best songs on Declaration 🔥
This needs so much more views!! Such an underrated song.
The problem is the algorithm prioritizes cancer. And red is NOT cancer. Also youtube manipulates views of channels they don't like. UA-cam even takes away subs and likes from channels they deem politically too incorrect..
2020 Album of the year! #DECLARATION
Yes.🎸🎸👈
Yeas!!!!!!!!!!!
Completely agree 👍
Agree
i don't get the joke, not even close to being the best rock in 2020. fanboying at its finest
That chorus is the best.
This Band is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE RED!
LET'S GOOOO my favorite song from Declaration
It's hard to pick the best song off Declaration. They're all so good.
2:45 is everything
Jesus christ I am mad at how underrated RED actually is
Brasil representando aqui
Salve!
É nós!!🤙🏻

I had not long to think about it. In joyous haste the young man leaped upon the horse’s back. Turning in his seat he waved a farewell, then nudged the stallion with his heels. They were off before I well knew what was happening. There was riding if you like! I came out as quickly as I could from among the bushes to follow them with my eyes; but already they were only like a shooting star far off on the green plain, and soon among the foothills of the mountains. Then, still like a star, I saw them winding up, scaling what seemed impossible steeps, and quicker every moment, till near the dim brow of the landscape, so high that I must strain my neck to see them, they vanished, bright themselves, into the rose-brightness of that everlasting morning. While I still watched, I noticed that the whole plain and forest were shaking with a sound which in our world would be too large to hear, but there I could take it with joy. I know it was not the Solid People who were singing. It was the voice of that earth, those woods and those waters. A strange archaic, inorganic noise, that came from all directions at once... It sang,
“The Master says to our master, Come up. Share my rest and splendor till all natures that were your enemies become slaves to dance before you...”
“From beyond all place and time, out of the very Place, authority will be given you: the strengths that once opposed you shall be obedient fire in your blood and heavenly thunder in your voice.”
“Overcome us that, so overcome, we may be ourselves: we desire the beginning of your reign as we desire dawn and dew, wetness at the birth of light.”
This one is the spark that will burn away my 2020 memories for good

There is no sound like yours. Always the soundtrack to Armageddon. Angels and demons locked in eternal war. The orchestral strings and the heavy electric bass chords pair so ethereally. Red is the all time greatest band, hands down. Thank you for keeping it real and bringing the magic.
HAPPY NEW YEARS FROM ONTARIO CANADA...and the redband is frigge awesome i love there songs and im waiting 9 hours on here to listen to this new song
Thank you Red! Keep it up! May God bless you all!
That was the best way to start the new year!! Love RED!!! You guys are awesome!!
This gives me The Evening Hate vibes. Love it!! 🔥🔥
Great song from an incredible album. This album easily became my new favorite Red album, finally overthrowing Until We Have Faces for me. I love that this whole album is just heavy hitting rock. I do like the softer songs you've done, too. Never Be The Same is my all-time favorite Red song.
Yes I like that they can do both so well but not a fan if their weird albums like gone and release the panic. Don't get me wrong theres a few songs on those 2 albums I loved but for the most part I cant do it.
The RED’s songs always sounds SO EPIC!❤
Performance was excellent! Gets better every time I hear it
Michael vocal is just woow
Amazing, just amazing....

That was AWESOME. This song is one of my new favorite songs! Thanks Red!!!
I love this song so much. The first time I heard it, 2:21 hit me hard with End of Silence vibes and actually made me cry. Thank you, Red, for embracing the sound that defines who you are. God bless, and Happy 2021!
