  • Great video. Lyrics and music are great combo :D

  • lyrics were pretty bad... good song though. 

  • RJTNGHNYRHTG PERFECTA 

  • The first synced lyric-video I've ever seen. Creds!

  • "i must die if i want to life" wtf yeah real good lyrics... at least you only live once actually has REAL meaning throughout the whole song's lyrics. how can you die to live? hmm suicide for the fucking WIN!

  • Comment removed

  • @eagleeyetool69 They're a Christian Metalcore band, that's their beliefs and you should at least respect that.

  • @eagleeyetool69 There is no more "real" meaning than those lyrics, you just don't realize what they stand for, "I must die" represents dying to your old self and if you do that, you get life in Jesus Christ.

  • and i like Suicide Silence... but theres just no way that they're better than AILD

  • this has to beat suicide silence!!! Theres more to real metal in this song than "you only live once" which is just a bunch of break downs for 2stepper fags.

  • please. music is not involving any religion. Christian, Muslim, Buddha can listen this type of song. AILD 4eva :)) 94 HOURS is the best too ^^

  • vote for AILD loudwire.com/as-i-lay-dying-vs­-suicide-silence-death-match/

  • ‎(John 3:3) Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

  • @umbepumbe

    Amen.

  • @umbepumbe Keep that bible shit of of here. (Yes i know AILD are christian) but still, no-one wants to see this crap on a metal page.

  • @itchygonads Dude, you are a hypocrite...

  • @FlUdDeStRoYeR94 How so?

  • @itchygonads I won't, since people were asking for the meaning behind the lyrics. If you don't wanna know the real reason why Tim is writing weird lines about dying then you don't need to. There's more people than only you that browse YouTube and actually do care.

    Ps. Jesus loves you.

  • @umbepumbe I know why he is writing lyrics like that, I am sure anyone with knowledge of the bands religious views would understand bro...And lol no he doesnt. I am not buying into that.

    Does he love the starving ethiopian kids?

  • @itchygonads Is this just a mock-question or for real? There are way too much people out there telling the world the cannot believe in a loving god or that Jesus died for them, cause of all bullshit happening in the world.

    So I ask you: Is this a serious question? Do you really want to believe in Jesus and this is the question blocking you?

    PS: He really does, both of you, the kids and you.

  • @dshw Well no, I shall never believe in something that there is not a single shred of evidence for, as I am not gullible...Also it is a serious question, one which the apologists have NEVER answered. Because there is no answer, the suffering in this world outweighs the pleasures by far...And the apparent all loving god (who clearly isn't real) causes all of it. It is just ridiculous for anyone to claim he is a loving god, because he obviously isn't. So no he doesnt love me...Nor does he love you

  • @itchygonads Well, yes, there is no answer, no complete one, but in my opinion Jesus came to our world to show us how much he loves us. Therefore I believe in a loving God who is crying and screaming with us, as the only solution to end all this suffering is to end men.

  • @dshw And why should your opinion matter? When essentially all religious sheep have different opinions? None if which are based on fact? Why should i listen? The whole story makes no sense at all.

    Why? When he created men? And suffering? And starvation? And everything wrong.

  • @itchygonads Wow. You're a real friendly person. Well, you should know that God gave the human beings free will and humans that are free are almost always doing bullshit. But humans without a free will are nothing more than mere puppets. And God wanted us to live a real life, to have the choices.

    And btw: the life of Jesus is way better proven than the roman war-diaries we translate in Latin (if you did learn Latin).

    And the mistery of God's love is that we cannot grapse it at all.

  • @dshw I am friendly, I was asking honestly...What makes your opinion correct? I was actually honestly asking, not trying to be a dick. First of all, if god is omnipotent then free will is impossible, secondly he created us, and if he is all knowing, then he would KNOW already, before it happened that free will would cause us to go against him, thus he still created us, knowing we would sin, and knowing he would enjoy burning us forever in hell. I know latin, and it is not. there is no evidence.

  • @itchygonads there's a lot of evidence of Jesus' life, people that did not follow his lead and wrote about him, such stuff. We did define the word 'omnipotent', so who says our definition is the right one? I mean imagine a 2d-person was told there is such a unbelievable thing as a third dimension out there. The little 2d-guy would try to imagine what it would be like but could never ever really describe it as it is a 2d-figure. I think it's the same with us and God. [...]

  • @dshw [...] He is just too much above us. That's the answer I have about God's omnipotence.

    Ehm... No one ever said He's enjoying sending us to Hell (which does NOT mean 'burning forever' but 'being separated from God, love and all the good stuff forever' like Sisyphos, but a Hell of a lot worse).

    Sorry for being pissed off. Sometimes I get the wrong intonation on the web.

    Actually I hope to answer some questions here and there, really.

  • @dshw There isn't. There is not a single eyewitness account, nor any personal evidence. A few righters talk about what they heard he was like. But no eye-witness accounts.

    I have nothing to say to the rest of it...It is just opinionated, speculative nonsense. Just another way for religious people to wriggle out of providing evidence.

    He clearly does enjoy sending us to hell. Considering the vast majority of us go, he could change the rules...But he doesnt. He enjoys is clearly. No-one can deny.

  • @itchygonads Okay. Guess you're (a) god and you want to have the perfect place for the people that love you. If you let all people in the good ones are just again victims of the bad ones. So you have to make the hard decision to choose. And of course you would choose the people that want to follow you, want to be with you and not the guys that are not even interested in you as a god.

  • @dshw And one more thing about evidence: Normally an ancient person's life is said to be proven when there are a few independent sources that were not more than 200 years written after the person's death. The letters by Paul are proven to be real and are written within less than 50 years.

    Furthermore is it proven that the Romans were hunting Christians down and burning places. Why would they do that if there was no Jesus at all?

    [...]

  • @dshw [...] The imperator Hadrian's secretary Sueton wrote about Christians that were named after a certain Christus (Annalen 15.44).

    Josephus, the best-known jewish historian, wrote about a guy named Jakobus who was a brother of Jesus. Later he describes Jesus as a prophet and miracle worker (Antiquitates judaicae, i.e. 18.3).

    I googled like 5 seconds, the time I needed to typ "proof for jesus".

    Okay, you were searching for eye-witnesses. [...]

  • @dshw [...] Paul was often refering to persons, eye-witnesses still alive at the time he wrote the letters. I think there were a lot of people asking these witnesses if the stories were true. Imagine the eye-witnesses said that it was a load of shit, then the truth would outlive the lie for sure. In these times the spoken word was a lot more worth than the written one and the spoken ones were moving fast. And no one would die for a lie, but really a lot of people died cause of their belief

  • @dshw btw: Who proves your words right? Aren't you speculating a lot, too? How do you prove that sending people to Hell is a nice hobby for God?

    And please show me the evidence, name sources, write full arguments and not just a thesis and one nice sentence. You need examples, proof that there are no sources. I am no one to give up on a few nice sentences. Come on. Do it. Follow my lead and argue for real.

  • @dshw Yes but that isn't what happens. Christian reward is not biased on works, only on faith. So the bad people go into heaven, and the good people go to hell. Just because they are not gullible. He is an apparently all powerful god, yet that is the best system he could come up with, lol simply laughable.

  • very good song

  • Wow, I didn't know about this album. Geeze, didn't, "The Powerless Rise" just come out?

  • @77josh77 They've released a new 'album' to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. Has a few new songs, mostly covers and some horrible remixes. The new songs and covers are pretty good (This song is by far the best).

  • this is pretty much the same as anodyne sea....

  • Comment removed

  • I always get confused and i start to sing vancancy at 00:51

  • @AKchelseagrinSS After you pointed that out, it does sound a lot like Vacancy. xD

  • Check out my video for this song! :)

  • <3

  • What's the meaning of this song?

  • @chrisfowler623

    just reading the epic lyrics?

  • Instead of a lyric video, how about a music video!

  • Possibly the best AILD song. POSSIBLY. 

  • Eh, nothing too special here. Previous albums were better.

  • Dont really care for the lyrics.

    They know? LOL

    They are right... As I "WAS" Dying...

  • where is the dislike bar? ;)

  • can you say HARD?

  • Wats ftw? Lol

  • @mizPunks3 For The Win ;)

  • @Marweinicus oh lol thanx :)

  • they are not verry fast by doing theyr new album, just 2 songs in like 3 to 5 months.

  • 14 Deaf people disliked it, I feel sorry for them..

  • anyone else see that was posted on 9/11?

    Because this song is badass

  • @CameronWoodward107 As I Lay Dying turned what was a day of infamy into a day of joy. The band mocks the efforts of al-qaeda

  • Love..

  • If you can listen to the background of the sound you can hear a song from Powerless Rise, what song is it? :D

  • @Nightmare1066 Upside Down Kingdom? :P

  • @blythor2k8 Yea, I think it is that song though it might be some other song off that album in particular xD

  • @Nightmare1066 Hehe, either way, this song is unreal!

  • @Badiie05 this is their newest album. Derp.

  • As I Lay Dying. One of the best melodic metalcore bands out there.

  • @xtremeacryion

    Trivium & AILD ;)

  • @ErzetDEMOn & BFMV.

  • @ErzetDEMOn Trivium is so much better than this garbage.

  • @woweasyguides i like trivium a little more but this is not garbage. aild has better screams matt has better cleans.

  • @woweasyguides LOL, nooooooooo

  • @xtremeacryion They only get better with every release

  • i think i creamed

  • As I lay Dying has yet to disappoint.

  • @livvw Shadows are Security really wasn't that good, but it gave them the drive to be better so I guess its instrumental in AILD's progression.

  • @FFJabarr I disagree, "Morning Waits" is one of my favorite AILD songs, "Confined," "Through Struggle," "Meaning in tragedy," "The Darkest Nights" etc are also some of their better tracks.

  • @alispie Morning Waits Shit That Whole Shadows Are Security Album Is Fucking Burly AS FUCK EN D OF STORY.

  • @alispie I'd definitely agree, their older albums are incredible!

  • @alispie those are all from Shadows Are Security :S You know they have other albums as well

  • @alispie completely agree with ya

  • @alispie Dont forget "Confined" ;)

  • Pure awesomeness

  • THERE IS NO COMPROMISING THE TRUTH...

  • what are the other 2 new songs?

  • Comment removed

  • THE BEST METALBAND EVER!!!!

  • At least 600 Views are mine :O

  • This sounds pretty unchristian for Tim's lyrcis..

    I llike! :D awesome song

  • Comment removed

  • love it! please come back to NC soon!

  • 12 fag people listen Justine Bieber

  • OMG, I through that AILD was brutal and I came here and saw that this video has 66666 views...OMG

  • who the fuck would dislike this!

  • as i lay dying you guys kickasss cant wait to see you play at soma san diego in december

  • Thank god tehre is no AILDVEVO

  • I was eating a bagel when I started listening to this... Now its on my white shirt with butter stains on it... Thanks aild for making such amazing music... Been a fane since the beginning always will be one till the day I die!

  • When I read these lyrics the song becomes so less brutal.

  • Seriously, if everyone in a certain band was a Jew or Muslim, or spoke Swahili, would you guys not listen to them even if their music was good? Really, it's 2011, quit bringing this up. It's just music. If you don't like it, go away.

  • I like old AILD much better than this. Doesn't change that they are one of the greatest metalcore bands on the planet. I'll still listen to 'em any way. Their music strong; their faith stronger.

  • its like a sound that fits shadows of security and oceans between us...I love it...i miss Clint Norris

  • nothin like some As i lay dying, my all time favorite

  • This is heavy! Jeez!

  • im not into this kind of music but this song is fucking amazing

  • 11 people have lost their damn minds..This song is awesome \,,/

  • Is it just me or does every song by them sound the same? O.o

  • @MetalxLyrics It's just you.^^

  • @MetalxLyrics somewhat hahaaa. there's only a couple that really stand out as different

  • @MetalxLyrics Normally they don't, but this one definitely doesn't stand out at all.

  • @MetalxLyrics it's just you.

  • @Stijnhy It's not an insult or anything, I like their sound. I just think it would be interesting to see a few songs with changed styles.

  • @MetalxLyrics I know buddy.. I know. But unfortunatly this happens to many bands these days.

  • Comment removed

  • @MetalxLyrics no its just you being a fag...

  • @MagicTurdd no I think you're the one being a bundle of sticks here.

  • Decent song, but it's a real shame it's one of only 3. Big disappointment. They just expanded a single into bull by throwing in a ton of stuff I'm sure a lot of people don't really want. Remixes? Seriously? I thought this was metal.

  • 2:15 FTWWWW!!! AILD FAN FOR LIFE!!!!

  • good, too good :P

  • "I MUST DIE IF I TRULY WANT TO LIVE"

  • Man even when 100 hundred years old I'll still be rocking the fuck out to AILD,a true metal head is a metal head for life,AILD is an example of the greatness that any band can be if they think hard and are talented enough.

  • omg everytime im on an AILD video I will always see comments about freaking religion.... JUST STFU PEOPLE AND LISTEN TO THE SONG. You all smell like fish...

  • @SilenttHilll bc its a christian band, and i dnt think i smell like fish lol

  • Dislike these vocals

  • the graphic designer of this song is similar to the one for suicide silence's fuck everything video.

  • Aild and KsE just have their style and sound that makes them differ from the other bands!They are just unique!

  • "the answers that i've found", is AILD still fucking great.let's hope Decas is as masterpiece as the powerless rise

  • Dont get me wrong i love AILD's old songs where Clint Norris used to play bass and sing, he was amazing. But to be honest there's just something about Josh Gilbert's voice that makes a chill feel run down my spine (in a good sense figures). As always songs like these just proves how amazing AILD are :D

  • to all the people claiming this is their new favourite song....HAVE YOU HEARD THE POWERLESS RISE?? the songs on their latest album is a masterpiece

  • This has to be my favorite As I Lay Dying song.

  • This is fucking sick.

  • This is a GREAT typography video! I LOVE this. Good job As I Lay Dying!

  • Beasty Song!! also to the christians who claim to be "witnesing" by condeming aethists, or deists, or people who believe nothing I say to you as a christian myself that the Bible says that we are not to judge non belivers, in fact it does say to hold accountable the people who DO believe and so im calling all these "christians" out by saying that by condeming non-christians you are destroying the reputation of people who ACTUALLY serve God.

  • @duvieskye Why is this not the top comment? you are a wise man.

  • @XEspadaSaDiosX haha i guess the "foolishness" has plagued the hearts of men, thanks for your encouragment!!

  • @duvieskye Dude, you're the first Christian I've seen bashing all the faux-Christians. Kudos. I thought Jesus told his followers to 'Love thy enemy as well, for if you hate him the same as he does you, then what reward is there in that?'

  • Comment removed

  • @duvieskye I respect your statement greatly.

  • @duvieskye sadly, no matter how many times this is preached, many people do this on a consistent basis. I still find myself judging people on certain occasions when I know I shouldn't. :\

  • @beepee2005 well, only one thing we can do...learn from what we do and make an impact. Trust me I am by no means perfect, holy, clean, or good. I am just a dirty sinner who was saved by grace. The best thing to do when I mess up is apologize to bystanders because the most important thing Christians can do is lead by example. But I dont wanna take away from how amazing this song is because it is so wreckless!!!!! Rock on AILD

  • \m/

  • this is phenomenal and Im not a huge AILD fan. This song and Forsaken are definitely my 2 favorites

  • i just have no words for this song... i just amazing you know? the lyrics the guitar just everything ..

  • wow, awesome!

  • i love the release day .... MW3 on midnight , and immediately playing the album of AILD on my headphones ... my ears and eyes gonna jizz for sure that day ...

  • o..my..god. <3

  • I haven't listened to AILD in.. About a year, really don't know why.

    But now, when they released this single and I listened to it.

    Fuck, god I have missed them!

    They're such a sick band and probably one of my abosolute favorites!

    Can't wait for DECAS.

    God, just an amazing single.

    They really haven't made one bad song, just amazing.

    I'm PARALYZED by the song.

    I must be reborned <3

  • AILD are one of the very few bands that doesnt sound gay and cheesy when they do clean vocals. Awesome!!

  • This song brought tears to my eyes and shivers in all my body, because of how great and awesome it is!

  • just a few weeks ago i put in the list of things i must do before i die .and i put that i must see AILD live :) \m/

  • I almost feel ashamed that I didn't know they had a new album coming up. Great surprise though.

  • Greatness

  • Tim's scream is incredibly unique to me. It compliments every other instrument of the band and that's just so rare.

  • The replay button got a restraining order on me. :(

  • I MUST DIE IF I TRULY WANT TO LIVE!!

  • I fucking love his voice

  • Whoah, they sound more like The Devil Wears Pradas new stuff! I Like it :D

  • AILD is the king of Metalcore, thats a fact not my opinion!

  • Such an amazing song. This album is going to kick ass.

  • Amazing song

  • Damn this song is great! The solo is easily one of my favorites from them.

  • Metal FOREVER until the end (^_^)\m/

  • I cannot wait for this album to come out!

  • i love Death Metal, its probably what i listen to the most. but i love AILD, one of my favorite bands.

  • AILD is the most talented band in everyway. The only thing they lack is clean vocals, but their clean vocals are good just not the best. Their lyrics are some of the best, sound is definitely the best, unclean vocals is some of the best, their band members are some of the best at what they do. Their drummer is insane, guitars are always good. AILD is just all around amazing.

  • This is incredible! really didn't expect a new song, and I couldn't be happier since AILD is one of my favourite bands! They never dissapoint <3
