The movie “The Sound of Freedom brought me here. Ten years ago For Today recorded this song. Many have been trying to bring attention to the human trafficking problem for decades

Nine years later I had the immense pleasure of meeting this band. #Jesus_Christ_is_the_Savior

9 years and many listens later and this song still chokes me up. I have to fight back tears, so heartbreaking.

"For Today are warriors in service to Christ!" God bless you!

I'm not religious at all yet I find myself loving Christian metal bands more than other bands.

Nothing Jesus can't handle, but definitely something we can't without Him.

did you ever notice it's only metal songs that send a message. no wonder people don't appreciate others

This song and music video should have been played at the end of The Sound of Freedom.

Funny how mainstream music never talks about anything of substance like this. I wonder why...

When Christian bands have stronger songs ( both instrumetal and lyrics). I am atheist, yet, their songs give me chills and the messages are quite special

God’s children are not for sale. I’ve been listening to this song since 2016 and I can’t help but cry. In the comfort of my home, with my family, writing this… while people are forced to sex slavery. What must a man do to help those? How does a man help? I feel so lost. God guide me and protect everyone in this comment section. God please bless everyone who sees this video and may you impact them as greatly as you impacted me. Lord Jesus, you gave me a gift, and that is to be a great Doctor. God I ask that you guide me through the darkness and show me how to use your gifts to serve the world. In Lord Jesus’ name Amen.

its crazy that most kids parents call this music "emo, trash, satanic, unholy" but truth being most of these bands send extremely powerful messages like ghost by august burns red or almost every song by issues. take princton avenue for example. holy shit the message it has, or Memphis may fire with no ordinary love, yet they praise pop for being good music. like hell no dude. this music IS THE GOOD MUSIC

People thinks metal genres are all about hate and evil... But the fact is that metal is the most emotional genre ever. I loved this message.

What i like about this kind of music is that most of these bands sets a focus on the problems in the world instead of the pop music that is blinded towards everything except love.

As a trafficking survivor I greatly appreciate you 💜💜💜💜💜

I still love this band and wish they'd get back together. Their music was so incredibly powerful and convicting ❤️

to anyone who downs for today are crap for a human being. This song gave me chill bumps. Music with a Message. This is what music should be about. Thank you For Today for staying true to your messages.

This is heartbreaking but also encouraging knowing that people are taking a stand for Christ for those strongly effected by human trafficking. The lyrics, "only a coward would try to ignore it", really hits home. The only hope in all of this is Jesus Christ and in what He is doing through His people. What people don't understand is that this stuff breaks the heart of God. Some say He doesn't exist or He must not care and love people enough to allow this. God's heart is for the broken and suffering, and there is healing, restoration, and life in His only Son Jesus Christ.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard

I hope this song gains some traction again, after the release of Sound Of Freedom.

7 years have past and this song still gives me chills and such a powerful song and lyrics...the world needs to recognize this old age problem and not turn a blind eye

One of the only bands that can be so heavy but hit me so hard emotionally that it draws tears out of me sometimes.

Damn dawg , I had no idea things like this were going on. I feel like crying ,yo. Seriously .

I don't understand all the negative comments about this band. I am a huge supporter for metalcore, heavy metal music when our Lord and Savior is at the focal point. It may all sound the same as other metalcore bands but that is not the point. Its time we all grow up and keep our eyes to the sky and praise the Lord for bands making music for awareness about something so negative. Keep rocking it For Today.

Where's Liam Neeson when you need him

This band got big, but they SHOULD have been a TON bigger than they ever were. 2022 and it is still just as good as ever!

The Kingdom of God suffers violence; and the violent take it by force. This loud screaming song fits perfectly the chaos and utter terror these helpless, voiceless victims suffer over & over again. Father have mercy on these children & send angels to comfort & minister to their suffering. Show us all our part no matter how big or small it is. Let this ROAR be heard!!!

Anyone here mid 2020 as all this unfolds? We've been told for so long...

Jesus people are so ignorant. This band is trying to send a message and you hate on it? What is Asking alexandria trying to send or Attila? Music is more than the musical instruments. It's art. Art is beautiful. This is beautiful.

This song has really motivated me to start a local community awareness program through my work. I work with the public and a large corporation and want to spread awareness of the signs to look for in a human trafficking operation. I guess a big red flag for human trafficking operations are illegitimate businesses like massage parlors or spa treatment places. Also, truck stops are probably a huge one...God bless you for writing this song and inspiring those who have listened to it.

For Today is a great band, they stay true to their convictions and that is commendable. Having been deployed to S. Korea for a year and seeing how Human trafficking is a real and horrific thing it's great that they are bringing more awareness about this. Can't wait for the CD to be released.

I don't understand how this song has any dislikes. even if you don't enjoy the song itself what about the message????

Seriously, God bless these gentlemen for taking a stand and trying to make change in this sick and darkened world full of evil. Keep pushing forward brothers.

God has glorified these guys with the power to scream out for what they believe in stand up for the hopeless, if that's not motivation I don't know what is but what I do know is that everyone has the power to realize that people are losing their faith second by second, we are the only ones who can stand up and breathe life into the hopeless, GOD WILL PREVAIL

Praying for every victim going through this, the facts are truly heartbreaking. This could be your mom, your sister, your daughter, your friend. #Endit

9 years ago and people are finally opening their eyes 🙏🏽

Eye to eye, face to face Still we don't see them, we look away Still they cry, but no one is listening When will we open our eyes Open our eyes This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes So let the world listen closely As I scream to see the freedom they deserve Let the world listen closely I say, its time to cross the lines of culture Birth bringing on poverty They keep us uninformed and distracted If they can't fight for themselves, we'll fight for them Its time to fight the silence (go) Broken, abused, and exploited For the sick satisfaction of selfish men Only a coward would try to ignore it But we can raise our voice and bring it to an end Fight, fight, fight the silence Set the captives free Fight, fight, fight the silence They're a slave to a system of apathy Bought and sold They're right to life has been taken away Bought and sold Bring an end to slavery Open our eyes This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes Their fate is in our hands Will they be left there to suffer Will somebody take a stand Against a system that's been designed to deny Its victims their right to life Let's set the captives free When all is said and done, we'll see justice come Its time to fight the silence (go) The voice of the voiceless Fight the silence We are the hope for the hopeless Fight the silence Fight, fight, fight the silence Its time to fight

I'm from Russia and don't understand all the lyrics but i should say that message of this song is very important and significant. Young people must know it to prevent in their own life and at the scale in which they are able to do so. Christ is Risen!

We need to spread this video now while the time is right with all the attention to Sound of Freedom. These guys were bringing attention this issue ten years ago. Awesome.

I feel this song is very applicable to the situation our brothers and sisters are facing in the middle east! no one seems to care that children are being beheaded for proclaiming Christ!

Wow...I remember hearing that this band was Christian and that their songs were really good, but I didn't understand it until now.Wow. I will see them this year at warped.

For today, you guys need to come back.

Heard this band at Warped Tour 2014 & fell in love with them! This Christian rock band is amazing ♡

Amazing band. Strong message. The truth set be free. Blessings from Argentina

this video deserves more watches then freaken miley. just saying.

Just watched a documentary about human trafficking in Great Britain and I just remembered this song again.. It's probably been 4 years since I listened to this the last time.. Seems like the band left an impact on me

Amen we are the voice for the voiceless and the hope for the hopeless! God calls us to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so we need to share His love and Gospel. We need to comfort these women (and men) who have been forced into one of the worst, if not the worst, forms of slavery. This song amped me up and this video moved my heart. Lord have mercy!

2023 this song is still so relevant, and the problem is even worse now. We need God.

You know what I like about this band? You can actually understand the lyrics without having to look them up. Who agrees?

My eyes are open now!

This song needs 6 billion views.

this band is why I wanna go to Warped Tour so badly this year

Remember, a percentage of the album's sales went towards this campaign as well!

I grew up with Ryan and Brandon and know past and present members of this band extremely well. I promise you even if you aren't religious these guys are some of the most decent people on this planet.

This song still rings true a decade later. I’m thankful for art like this and the new movie Sound of Freedom. It’s time to bring an end to this.

I love everything this band stands for. They make great music and all of their music has meaning. I like that their a christian band because they aren't all "Fuck you, I'm gonna kill myself" like most poser bands today. This band actually raising awareness with their music and that to me is very unique. Keep it coming, FT! :)

Sound of Freedom movie just reminded me of this song.

Ignorance is the lack of empathy in this broken world we live in.

this is definitely one of my favorite bands here recently i have found myself listening to them on spotify and at work on here. I love that they are not afraid to sing about the things of this world that not many people are willing to sing about. #christianmetalforthewin. keep singing about the things you do guys it helps alot more people than you think it does. As always, may the glory go to GOD for he is the one that showed us unconditional love. Psalm 104:33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Who wants to do that sign spreading with me?

Anyone else still have chills?

It is better to be hated for doing what is right than to be hated for wrong-doing. Good Christian saints remember this, be steadfast.

Holy fuck, the feels... Amazing song, amazing message!

i miss you for Today... 😢😢😢

That last breakdown is soooo sick

the silence is breaking at a rapid rate as of late.

This is my favorite band ever. Its the only band tattoo I have

The clean vovals is amazing omg!

this should have over 65,000,000 views, like wtf

This song speaks volumes to me because my mom was forced into it and that's how I came along.

Im from Juarez Chihuahua, and this things happens every second, we lost family members, we lost friends and our only hope, is God, I know He will do something...I believe in divine justice

This is ridiculously moving and eye opening. Donated 20 bucks :)

This music video. I'm sending the link to everyone. Thanks for this amazing eyeopener

It's crazy a lot of times people don't think about all this happening but it does. It's hard cold reality, such a shame that this is happening, but I'm glad that this band has brought up the subject, it makes you think about it.

Christians (True Christians) do NOT hate homosexuals. We love them just as the person they are we are commanded to do. We do NOT however support their union before God. We should not love them less or treat them differently and I have even learned a bit about myself from interacting with them. They are just people guys. Whatever choice they make is between them and God

This song can also go well with relating to depression / suicide.

A band that stands for something good, there's a novel concept. Amazing stuff as always from these guys.

I searched all over for this song. That should show how important it is to me.

I love this band so much. You guys help me more than you know. These are trying times these days. Thanks for giving glory to God like I do he will give it back when the times have come. God bless this band. I'm a very huge fan. May these words resonate on your heart body mind voice and soul.

It truly disgusts me that most of these comments are about hating on members of the band because they are supposedly homophobic. Did the horrifying statistics not faze anyone?! This video is about sex trafficking awareness, not about being against gay people. How can you watch this video without being disgusted and moved by the terrible things that happened to those young girls? Maybe the root of the problem is that nobody cares enough to think about it, much less to do anything to stop it.

"Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast"

Just found this band today, and I'm already loving it! This song is really awesome with a conviction-filled message.

Keep spreading the word. Ignorance of this is inexcusable. We must rise together to fight against this evil. America is not exempt from atrocities like this.

FIGHT THE SILENCE !

Powerful message! God bless you guys!!

The backup vocalist's voice is just amazing! I love it!

Not only is the music awesome, their message is too. Ive been wanting to see bands talk about issues like this more often. If they come to Vancouver Canada, they just sold me a ticket

this is a powerful song man, i was expecting to here another heavy ass for today song that i can bang my head to i wasnt expecting to get goose bumps and tears in my eyes because of the meaning behind it

This song is fierce when it comes to standing up against this terrible crime (Matty) but the singer comes in, it brings all of the emotions - it almost brings tears to your eyes

Can't wait until February 26th in Louisville. Been with them since day 1 looking forward to new For Today!

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

Good,God bless! B R A Z I L

God Bless this band, FreakJesus song Hallelujah !!

They are just sharing their believe hoping it will help. I agree with everything they say. If you actually listen to the message before you get defensive, you will realize that their faith shows them these things. I pray that you all will be more open to other's opinions.

This song isn't "stupid". It's sending a educational positive message unlike some people that saying this song is stupid. I believe the reason why some of you may not like this song is because the format; dislike. Why would you want to bash a positive message? Maybe if one of you guy's bashing this song had a love one that went though something along the line's of this video your thoughts would alter. Yeah, Everybody has there own opinion but freedom of speech is not a license to spread hate.

This gave me chills

Why are so many arguing about the messages in Christian music? Can you not hear and see what this song is about??? I'm sure we can all agree that THIS song has an important message that everyone needs to hear, especially those fools who think this doesn't happen in the states to people from the states; and maybe their next door neighbor. Anyway people need to realize that this was made to bring attention to a very real issue that has been infecting society for too long of a time instead of trying to stab each other through the face with comments. Have a great day, and God bless.

I haven't always been a fan of this band but I remember meeting Mattie Montgomery when he still had dreads in Long Island for a Life In Your Way Show and he was reading the bible and seriously searching for answers. Regardless if what people say or think about this band Mattie is sincere and doing what he thinks for himself and others is right. I applaud them for creating more and more consciousness about human trafficking as well as building more and more safer places for people to seek out God or community. Bands like this although at times not always my favorite music, really leave an impression that the gospel is still real today and that music even "christian" music can help in the cause for social change. I recommend Sleeping Giant as well you will be surely blessed.

I regret to inform you that the number is now higher than 40 million people in slavery... we need FOR TODAY back with another song.

Truly powerful stuff. Love the clean vocals, they add so much more
