  • such a great song :)

  • fakin awesome video. love it.

  • sooo fakin great! as i lay dying & serenity. luv it.

  • Roman atholic(which is what i am),jewish,black,chinese, hindu etcc who gives a fuck about religion. This bands fucking awesome i seen them live and they never ever disappoint

  • hello

    

  • Firefly was awesome, and so was Serenity, Mal's sarcasm was priceless! And AILD are the first hardcore metal band I heard and I will always be a loyal fan.

  • Music is all about art and entertaiment! It doesn't have to have religical meaning or something... As @beau23clark said.. Fuck those hypocrites that judge bands by their religion...

  • This song is written to God, it's it's so heavy and deep, I wish everyone that hears this song could really "feel" theses lyrics experiencing a relationship with Jesus. I sing this song to Jesus, and cry

  • Great song and show!

  • Rockin ass tune!

  • though i HATE SONGS THAT SCREAM, i love this song. to me the lyrics are about a selfish soldier thats friends with a super nice soldier. the nice one got shot and is dying in the infirmary. the selfish one is trying to make the nice one's remaining days worth while, and asks what he wants. turns out, the nice soldier says that he has everything he could ever want and it makes the selfish soldier feel all guilty and he regrets the way he lives his life.

  • it's actually about God but i like yours too

  • Only a few of their songs are explicitly about God. The majority of them, as described by the members of the band themselves, are about life's struggles viewed through the eyes of a Christian.

  • Very beautiful written!

    Well just wanna supplement that, the scream they use in songs like this is called Growling. Growl is like you wanna sound sad, and scream out your feelings. :)

  • @Borntomusic

    what the fuck? a growl is nothing but a low pitched scream. doesn't have to do anything with wanting to sound sad at all

  • sick dude you must have been pretty high when you thought of that

  • nah, i'm not a 'high' kind of guy.

    but i guess i was in a sense.

  • ironic, i too just learned the intro riff.. its nice to hear again and again.. but seriously if you want easy thats more like smoke on the water or something.. haha

  • i love the intro, i was just sitting in bed playing it over and over again for a good 15 minutes

  • I owe you a huge thank you. I had never heard of firefly before, but a few months ago i was litsening to AILD on youtube and found this vid. I now own the dvd series and the serenity movie. I love it so much. I want the comics now. Thank you so much for introducing to the "verse"

  • no problem

  • this album is one the best ever made.

  • fuck yeah

  • this song is fucking awsome if u actually listen to the lyrics they have some meening

  • probably the easiest song i ever learned on guitar, but such a great fucking song!

  • The easiest song you ever learned on guitar? Did you skip all of the really easy songs or what?

  • it's one of my fav songs ever. love it ;]

  • i can play it

    =D

  • OMG i have the whole series of Firefly and i own the movie Serenity..

    The show and the movie are awesome! :]

    but anyways, AILD is a pretty good band, i've listened to a few of their songs and i liked most of them :]

    oh and about the whole faith thing.. its music.. who gives a flying fuck what they are??

    that goes for any other band also.

  • Accually your lyrics are wrong ":O

    (I can give you nothing, no riches in this world are mine, and to you, they are nothing. But I have my life, my will, and It is broken, and I am unworthy, all that I can offer you my lord is my life)

    (I am so unworthy.. You died, shed your blood for me, but yet I sin against you, and through my transgressions I became the nails that pierced your hands, forgive me.)

    The Rest is all right . Thos are just clear lyrics you missed

  • hehe are you serious?

  • Uhm, what?

  • " Behind me lies another fallen soldier" which is what they always mainly do, very sad. The singer sounds if he needs, a cough mixture, or is either on dope, way down yonder in Afganistan, helping out Uncle Sam in a jam.

    The revolution came and went, then was replaced by discontent, why not fight [hidden] poverty and unemployment in Britain?

  • wow, i actually like what you did with the song. that was cool.

  • this version is on fail word collapse CD when it first released back in '05 i think?

    i have it.. its pretty badass

  • FRail words collapse :P

  • i like this version. where can i listen to this other than here? or prolly download it =)

  • Sweet Firefly/Serenity. i love that show.

  • how do you get this version???

  • man, fack ya'll,

    i aint no christian, but these guys own;

    dont like it oh well, why the hell you listening to it ? why do you have to post?

    half of us dont give a shaaat if u dont like it. Go listen to what ever you like.

  • hello , can anyone tell me how to get this version of the song , i had it once but ive'd lost it , i have another version where the voice it's different and sounds different to if someone can help i would be happy , thanks

  • frail words collapse

  • pls tell me on which album this song is.

    thx

  • yeah man you dont have to like the band or their beliefs just like the music

  • muffinman10210 has got it dead ass, it doesnt matter what they believe in.. just that they know how to play some fuckin awesome songs

  • WTF guys?! its doesnt matter if its christian music. im an atheist but i still love AILD! great song BTW gave me chillz watching the video wit the music

  • this movie is firefly or something like..

  • Love this song.

  • what movie is this

  • i been listening to as i lay dying even before i heard they were christian and i still like them just as much.

  • thers a LOT of realy hard sounding bands that are cristian .. check out "norma jean" for example.

  • yah what the fuck is with people not liking a band cause of faith

    im christian but i don't just listen to christian i like pagan metal and i don't care if it has that belief its still good music so if you hate a band cause they belive in something than your just a fucking hypocrite

  • @beau23clark yeah i listen to system of a down and i don't agree with a word they say. im not saying soad is better than aild in any way because ailds awesome

  • @beau23clark lol i like ur term "pagan metal" it made me laugh xD im also a christian

  • who gives a shit if they are christian just listen to the damn music

  • seriously its music if its good listen to it if its christian and you just found out and you stop listening to it your raceist

  • that would be prejudice

  • there the same...

  • no. racisism is prejudice against an ethnicity, like sexism is prejudice against a gender. prejudice is just a general term for discrimination against a certain thing.

  • there not the same. Rasist is being prejudice against a race of people.

  • dude hes got a point . its liek .... sushi ! ppl liek it till they find out its raw fish , then they hate it ! same w/ liek beef or sumthin .  ik weird . but its true .

  • You actually got it right on with the sushi thing.

  • and man, yur so right about beef in that too. i ate it till i was uh, 10 and then i was at like a fair, and there was a cow there, and the dude runnong it said "when yur eating a steak thats wut yur eating" and after that i simply found it impossible to eat it, now i'll eat jerky chew, but thats it. and sushi, you are right, but i ate it for the firts time AFTER knowing it was raw fish, wasnt that bad, but not my favourite

  • Bad video, awesome song!

  • So is As I lay Dying a Cristian band? I can never tell because some of there lyrics use versus but some are about love and heartbreak and shit like that. Either way they're still badass.

  • yo man theyre for sure christian.

  • Their older stuff refers to God in almost every song.

  • true true most people dont realise that most metal lyrics come from the bible

  • yeah i dont like those ppl.. every band i satans if they scream a little.. ok ok AILD scream a lot but still.. they're christian and rule at the same time

  • finaly someone who got it right =] bro ur totally right and for u idiots that think this isnt a CR band cuz of screaming then here are the lyrics (the first chunk is hard to hear cuz hes just quietly talking):

    Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier

  • haha my bad here are the lyrics:

    I want, to bring you, all that is in my heart.

    I want to give you, my everything.

    .....................thats just the first chunk i cant fit the whole thing

  • these clips are from the movie serenity...:):)

  • doesnt matter that there screaming, its the words THAT they are screamin

  • Yeah dude read the lyrics

  • God never said what kind of music had to be used tou say his name. He doesnt care what music it is as long as it says his name bleedmilk

  • Man I've been listening to As I Lay Dying for atleast two years now, and I never knew AILD was partly a Christian Rick band, hmm, I only learned like last week about some of thei christian songs. Man they never really struk me as a CR band, seeings how their albums have skulls and stuff like that on them. Anyways this is a really good song.

  • this shows more of there christen metal still a great song though

  • where can i get this version from, the vocals are alot better than the version i have..

    awesome song, means so much..

  • you can get it on itunes!

  • i know, but i dont have an account and all that stuff lol

    cbf making one

    dw anyways, i found it on limewire, took me ages though -_-

    thanks anyway =)

  • lucky i tried to find it on limewire but didnt have much luck lol i think im just gonna buy the cd off itunes

  • try to get the entire album it's great!!

    as i lay dying "frail words collapse"

  • i got mine of limewire it was call 06- behind me lies another fallen soldier or something like that

  • I found it on limewire no problem. it's easy

  • wtff.. this version is shitty.. i think i listen to the demo of this song its so much better..

  • your kidding this version sounds better ive heard both though there both good but i personally like this one better:)

  • The Song is great, but I think the Video doesn't fit the sense of the lyrics.

  • He talks about wanting to be a good disciple and give all he can in his life to Christ, but selfishness is standing in the way and he can't let go of specific things...

  • i dont really have that depth that helps me see the inner meaning of songs. i know as i lay dying is a christian band, but can someone explain the religious meaning of this song to me

  • take it how you please.. songs mean different to different people.. take it as the prayer to god.. or take it as a dedication to soldiers.. whatever it really means to you, doesnt mean it means the same to others

  • That is not the official Video to this song, is it?

  • its not about iraq

    its about all soldiers

    in EVERY war. and they aren't christian, they may sing about things in the bible but they aren't labeled a christian band.

  • They are labeled pretty mucht he only christian like death metal band.......learn your shit

  • Hey buddy i not christian.....

  • It's not about the soldiers...

  • may i just ask how the words relate to soldiers in iraq? i've read, and reread.. because this song is just awesome.. and there is something that a soldier would say.. but no it's not about us not showing them respect, at all..

  • very good video it realy means aot..

  • hey folks if you check out a long march album you find out the original lyrics.apparently tim's intentionly wrote'You' with a capital letter wich meens the song's dedicated to god or jesus christ anyway the divine! That should be a conclusion....

  • of course...

  • they arent a christian band, maybe some christian songs, but no need to paint a religious label on them.. not everything is required to have 1...

  • As I Lay Dying is a Christian band

  • who cares if they are a christian band or not, that does not make the music worse ;) they are great

  • im gonna say this once. not all of aild's songs are christain. some songs are christian because tim lambesis (the singer) is very christian. their songs also deal with world issues and everyday struggles.

  • Stevie- it could have something to do with courage...

    Tlayhe- you need to listen to the lyrics.

    Trouble- I agree they are awesome and I am in love with this band... Even if they are christian though that does not mean all of their songs are about their religion and faith.

  • omg. okay whats with everyone bitching about if the songs are christian or not? WHO CARES. im not catholic or anything, i dont believe in god. but that doesnt change the fact that its an amazing band and an amazing song and really, when you look at the lyrics you can put them towards whatever the hell you want.. who gives a shit? its your life, its you listening to the music and your entitled to an opinion to how you take the music and lyrics s

  • ARCANE are you stupid? it is about god.. all of there songs are they are a christian band u dumbass.. why do u think they say

    "You laid down your life

    when I refused to give mine"

  • its about soldiers dying in iraq. they sacraficed their lives so we could have ours. and through it all we dont give them the respect and honor they deserve

  • ARCANE! this song is so obviously about Jesus Christ. If you listen to the lyrics, its like he is screaming a prayer to his God. If you take a look at almost any of their songs you just gotta know they are a christian band

  • its about soldiers dying in iraq. they sacraficed their lives so we could have ours. and through it all we dont give them the respect and honor they deserve.

    the key word in the title is soldier

  • great song great band

  • Arcane your being stupid, all of the lyrics of this song tie in with jesus. You laid down your life? That's about jesus giving his life on the cross. That's an EASY one to pick out. everything else should be obvious once you think about it a bit. Their a christian band, they have christian lyrics in many of there songs, but hey its ok there still fuckin awesome.

  • reedmanrocks...

    You're being stupid...

    Grow up..

    It's not about god or any of that stuff..

    It's about not being able to save someone..

    Read the title

    Does it sound like a christian song.

  • ur fucking dumb dude

  • theyre a christian band dude.. its about god

  • sick video and if u lisen o he lyrics u can tell that they r christains

  • hmmm :-? is this another version of the song? sounds different...

  • yeah,a newer one.

  • no it isn't its from the second latest album ! pay attention!

  • i like this version slightly better than the original

  • i agree completely i eman they are not a christain band but w/e ppl can think there own way. i just have one question how is this his relationship between his self and christ?

  • They Are Christian Man, Its not in your face obvious but just think about it.... this in no way is insulting your intelligence but if your able you'll see it

  • the term Christian was never meant to describe anything but people. It is a noun and not an adjective. So i agree with the statement that they might be Christians, but you cannot base that only their music.

  • they do admit being christian.

  • They said somewhere on this site i was at once that they are Christians but their band is not a Christian band.

  • i think this a great song with a few meenings

  • these scenes are from the movie "serenity"

  • OH YEAHHH

  • yes a so great song ! guys !

  • i agree cerwinvegas. each listener may interpret it however they want to. whether they think it is about jesus or fallen soldiers, it is a great song, and both deserve our respect.

  • Any of you posting comments that it is not about jesus. Well let me just say this, they are a christian band and of course they are going to write a song about him or to him. I am an atheist, and I love this song. Actually I love their whole scene. I could care less if they are writting about him, just enjoy the music. Is that not what jesus would want? He would want us to love the music not argue about it.

  • is about jesus because there a christian band.... they said it themselves

  • Look, it can be interpreted in many ways. About God or soldiers, either is fine. Both of them are deserving of respect. Both of them lay down thier lives so that we have a choice in life. Respect them both. God Bless

  • this is a very good song and video

  • THIS SONG IS PURLEY HIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIM and Christ

  • "You laid down your life

    when I refused to give mine"

    How is that not about Jesus

  • how is it about jesus. im not seeing a conectionl. someone could have died saving or protecting him, and he had the chance for them but he saved himself instead of dying for them or risking his life for theirs

  • I could explain, but take time if you ever see them live and talk with them. Tim is an amazing person. All of their lyrics are related to God. "I am able to bring you nothign that isn't already yours." Everything is God's, He's done so much for us, what can we do to return to Him? Nothing. "Take what I have, take these broken remains." Trust me... this is a heart crying out to God.

  • fair enough. i respect that

  • i dont see how the songs are about jesus....

  • hahaha i love how ignorant everyone is

    just cuz they flat out dont say jesus i love you doesent mean thats not wat theyre sayin

    look at the lyrics of pretty much ANY given song by them like their first single 94 hours if you dont see the christian connection without even hearing the song your are retarded confined check the lyrics this song hes talkin to god apoligizing come on people stop being so close minded about things and take a look at the bigger picture

  • how do you know what this song is about. i read the lyrics and assumed it was about a girl or some person. not jesus

  • anything song in this world can be interpreted a million different ways aside from the one intended, what if whoever wrote this song was talking to Jesus? how can you prove its not possible? if theres someone in your life who is as important to you as Jesus is to this person then it will fit.

  • It sounds like touch down at 56 seconds...

  • actually you are wrong, there is such a thing as christian music, its called playing in the prophetic but this is not christian music, there you are correct

  • AILD are so christian, the headlined cornerstone in 2006, and if you read there lyrics booklet that come with the albums, anytime they capitalize "You" there talking about god / jesus.

  • GOOD SONG

  • this video uses clips from the film Serenity :) just to let you know

  • is this the real video clip or is this a movie?

  • and if this is a movie what´s the real name of it?

  • is this a movie or just a videoclip? and if this is a movie whats the real name of it?
