The Sound Of Truth - As I Lay Dying (with lyrics)

[nigges121]

O really dont like the catholic church, because they are really not modern and live in the past. and here in germany, many catholic priests abused young children. but i dont care if aild are christian, because they make fucking awesome music and they have insiring lyrics which make you think about many things in life. and i am a really tzolerant person, and if they believe in god, i dont mind. they are doing their own thing ;)

[MrBluedso]

wait.. Mtv knows what music is? FUCK YEAH!

[austind14]

AS I LAY DYING IS FUCKING AMAZING!~!

[FLIPPYMAN808]

i did not now they were a chritain band!!! wtf

[darkstartrivium]

@FLIPPYMAN808 they arent. they are christians in a band. there is a difference. alot of their songs are about struggles, relationships, all that other good shit, just like every other band. just because they are all christian doesnt make them a christian band bro.

[MF0TY]

I think religion is right and God is real because someone has to punish the wicked if I can't and the liberal courts wont. Would you like to tell theres no God to the parents of the two teenage girls who were recently raped and murdered by an illegal whos been deported twice because our government doesn't secure the borders and our courts didn't give him the death sentance?...

[BurntToast1225]

I think its about curroption....and um yeah....its a song...on freaken youtube.....relax ppls...@_@

[2012whatnext]

I totally love this song becuase it is amazing and it has lots of hidden truths behind it. and on top of that.. it just had alot of meaning to me. This song is one of my favorites. along with conting bodies like sheep to the rythem of the war drums (which also has lots of hidden meaning behind it) and if you can't comprehend it, it ain't my issue. Don't come bitching to me.

As I Lay Dying - The Sound Of Truth

[nickdaleshockley]

if you liked this song than check out the band drayton sawyer they sound alot like asilaydying and are badass

[jessmaattee]

beautiful lyrics

[truedarkangel87]

Love it!

[CoEAssasiN]

i was a bit disappointed by the end of nothin left but now i guess its better .......AS I LAY DYING ^ ^

[RockGuitarPlayer55]

this band is just amazing

[SkitG]

As i lay dying is a christan Metal band ALRIGHT SHUT UP AS I LAY DYING IS AMAIZNG

[TheUmbrellaCorpX]

@SkitG hell yeah why is it that the best metal bands are christian like Haste the Day, August Burns Red, War of Ages, Underoath, and Unearth, For Today and many many more

[MetalliCxZero]

@TheUmbrellaCorpX but all of those bands suck?

[TheUmbrellaCorpX]

@MetalliCxZero not even dude they are better than what you listen too so explain how do they suck?

[MetalliCxZero]

@TheUmbrellaCorpX except haste the day vocals are good but they do some stupid things in their songs...

[TheUmbrellaCorpX]

@MetalliCxZero you wrote that comment to your self their oh and i listent to their vocal and they sound awesome i dont know what you hear and anyway i sont seem to consentrate on the vocals as much as the lyrics because thats what matters most look im not trying to start a fight here and i accept you have your own opinion of things but just try not to be a douchebag okay

[MetalliCxZero]

@TheUmbrellaCorpX the worst vocals spefically from those bands (all bands in general probably) would be underoath. and personally what ruins a band for me the most is crap singers. as for lyrics, i dont mind christian lyrics like AILD , but when they explicity praise god it's kind of annoying (but that's just imo).

And it's funny you say you aren't trying to start a fight because you are being pretty douchy yourself

[MetalliCxZero]

@MetalliCxZero well mainly because their vocals are fucking terrible

[haunter600]

@SkitG Ok, this is the last time im going to care about idiots saying that,

TIM LAMBESIS HIMSELF, YES HIMSELF, SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THEY ACTUALLY AREN'T A CHRISTIAN BAND! WOW, YOUR SURPRISED RIGHT, YOU DUMBASS CHRISTIANS? THEY ARE CHRISTIANS IN A METAL BAND. SOME OF THEIR SONGS ARE ABOUT CHRISTIANITY, BUT THEY AREN'T A GOD DAMN FUCKING CHRISTIAN BAND.

Thanks.

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 haha it says in this song what use is there in praying

[haunter600]

@imajewishmario "Some of their songs, not all, are about christianity", please read the entire thing before responding.

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 "in this song...", please read the entire thing before responding.

[haunter600]

@imajewishmario Your point was that this band was christian, and you made a reference to one of their songs being about christianity by quoting the lyrics from this song, as my original post was about the band not being christian.

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 dude, the lyrics quoted were "what use is there in praying." how is that saying they are christian? in my first post i agreed with you by stating lyrics that strike me as "not christian" think before you speak bud

[haunter600]

@imajewishmario You made a mention to praying after i wrote a 500 word caps lock response saying they weren't christian, pardon me but it seemed like you were trying to confirm their christianity....

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 mabye if you had bothered to read it rather than scan over it you may have cought ur mistake

[haunter600]

@imajewishmario Wow, you lost this argument and had to change what you were referring to in your first response/

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 i lost this argument? do you forget how poorly you were mistaken? what about someone quoting "what use is there in praying" sound pro religeos in any way. dude ur an idio

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 i lost this argument? do you forget how poorly you were mistaken? what about someone quoting "what use is there in praying" sound pro religeos in any way. dude ur an idiot

[imajewishmario]

@haunter600 how have i lost this argument? please explain it to me cuz i just cannot see it

[ltcapone]

@haunter600 At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I'm going to jump into this conversation without spending a lot of time going back through. AILD is a Christian band. Don't believe me, check out the FAQ on their website: "I’m not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band. If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians."

[haunter600]

@ltcapone all five of us are christians... but their MUSIC isn't strictly about Christianity.

[munkyslutt666]

what is this song about?

[truedarkangel87]

I think its about racism

[DatWonGuy]

This song is about hyporcirical christians who say they're living a righteous life, but are in fact following the ways of the world.

[MrSkatelife]

this song fucking rocks!!

[greenchicken19]

the clean vocal is awesome!

[metalfanatic2000]

thw whole band is awesome !!!

[volcom458]

could everyon jsut shutup and enhoy the damn song geeez!!!!!!!!!

[axemurder102]

dude wtf false advertisment w/ lyrics

[GuitarHeroInTraining]

How is it false advertisement, the lyrics are in the info box to your right.

[PsycotikChicken]

he's a tool, don't worry

[hammyelol]

@axemurder102 your not verry observant are you

[big12oz]

"Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a Christian." - Tim Lambesis.

The songs are about life from a religious perspective, not religion itself. Cut the religious debate crap which is on every video, it's boring.

[MonkeysOnRiot]

yea i read that too

[sk8erzrule4ever]

the dude below is me is correct cuz they did th same stuff with santa and shit intill we got old lol but kick ass song

[MonkeysOnRiot]

many people on this world are depressed, having troubles in life, what I, a teenage kid, think of religion, and god, as, are thought up things, and idea's teaching us to try to live our lives to praise god, and live for him, because if we had nothing to live for, most of us would be killing ourselves right...

[2012whatnext]

@MonkeysOnRiot haha yeah i very well agree wit that but most people need to believe that there is some 1 out there listenin when they blubber on bout their problems they also need an explination for all the miracles in life by which cant be explained n some made up history (by which we will never know is fully true, it's like why believe it if i havent seen it, right?) but as a teenager who has seen lots of miracles, both horid and beautiful, in and of life i believe there is a higher power.

[bostonsbadass12]

@MonkeysOnRiot to put it in simpler terms, religion is a load of shit

[ch33sybrandon]

@MonkeysOnRiot Just stop being a pussy

[optimumXtreme]

@MonkeysOnRiot uve had a nice life havent you? Ive notice that most bible thumpers dont know what it means to have a hard time. P.S. monkeysonriot! thats awesome!

[Ashers69]

Theres really no point arguing about god, everyone believes what they want and that's ok. Although all the people that go to church and pray in mass are going to hell, because praying in a mass is a sin. But to each there own.

[scoutcaboose77]

Tim Lambesis stated on the band's FAQ, "I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band.[4] If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. found on wikipedia.

There now SHUT UP NOW!

[bloodgun12]

"If we have chosen to live against the grain, then why are we all facing the same way" its about corruption not god

[christianrox13]

I love it when the lead singer screams the begining and the guy says or sings it I could listen to that part all day! and i think i spelled begining wrong!

[MasterAtNone]

beginning 2 n's lol

[fancymuzicgurl]

Excuse me for saying this but God Is real :) And I love him so much call us crazy because we are FOR HIM!

[cutsxx2xxthexxbone]

I fucking love As I Lay Dying.

[TallicaTim]

this is the second video watch the first part its called nothing left. the two vids go together watch the other first then this one.

[yourface12many]

2:19 is the best part of any as i lay dying song

[GTKproductionz]

Nah, watch 'I never wanted' By As i lay dying, that song is their best, or trough struggle

[AILD3895675]

NO not again... i just jizzed my pants...

[cutsxx2xxthexxbone]

Bahahaha.! :DD

[FrovenChair]

best song by a christian band ever

[yourface12many]

part of this song proves they arent christian and her it For what use is there in praying

just because thats there religion doesn't mean thats wat they sing about!!!

god i hate religion

im atheist if u haven't guessed

[GoldieL0xs]

ya but 1 of the many genres there part of is christians(normal, heavy death etc.) metal.

[bonehead1809]

For what use is there in praying

If you will hear what you want to hear

Finish the stanza

[JesusFreak022393]

Hey genius, it says "For what use is there in praying if you will only hear what you want to hear?"

That means if you are not open to the answer you are going to recieve to your prayer, it is better to not pray at all, because you have to accept it first.

[yourface12many]

fuck jesus u fuckin freak

[JesusFreak022393]

Yes, get angry because i"m right, without a counterargument. That makes sense!

The only reason I'm returning your insults with satire is because you presented no counterargument, which either means you are a waste of my time, or you know I am right, and can't come up with one.

[Stormaloveforever]

Um excuse me? This band is actually Christain. You are really stupid.

[BMXbiker8]

LOL you have no idea what to even say, so u have to say that? lol... JesusFreak022393 is right in EVERY single way. good job brah :D keep on coming

[Crackaplz1009]

No, there is no "answer" to accept. Provide one logical argument backing up the existence in god.

[JesusFreak022393]

Must we get into this? I cannot prove God exists...just as you cannot disprove His existance. Unless you're really bored, but I may not be able to answer for a couple weeks, because I'll be otherwise engaged. So this isn't even a good way to relieve your boredom.

[Crackaplz1009]

No, I'm not really bored, but you wanted a "counterargument" which I'm offering. You can't possibly ask for a counterargument without one yourself. If there is no way to prove his existence, then of course there's no way to disprove him, because you can't disprove something that isn't real.

[JesusFreak022393]

No, you cannot disprove something that is real. Disproving something that is not real should be easy, by definition. Just grab a dictionary and look up the words you aren't sure of.

[Crackaplz1009]

God isn't real though. Let me ask you this: Why do you belive in God? Who taught you that there was a God? Was it your very religious parents? Or possibly a religious private school you went to? And how did these people come to believe in God? A book written by four men over two thousand years ago. I'm not going to lie, you seem like a smart person, so what would possess you to believe in God?

[MasterAtNone]

do you have proof that the bible was written by 4 men? God gives man an escape/an alternative ending. I personally don't care whether or not god exists but don't bash other people's religious views when you can't back your OPINION up with actually fact. I'm not trying to get involved but I don't see why people are bothering to argue on a youtube video about god.

[Crackaplz1009]

No, I do not have proof that it was written by 4 men. Good point. I do agree that God gives man an escape but there are to many other things which religion influences and talks about which I completely disagree with which is also part of the reason why I don't believe.

[MasterAtNone]

yeah I have my doubts because there are too many other things that don't make sense and there are a lot of holes in religion so I'm skeptical too

[Crackaplz1009]

Yep, at least you have the guts to question your god and be a free thinker. I respect that. I wish there were more people like you (not necessarily people that don't believe, but people that can admit that there are questionable areas in their religion).

[MasterAtNone]

I don't have a religion lol

I believe that religion is indoctrination and that's bad. I don't like to subject myself to what other people say is wrong unless there's good reason for it. I have FAITH that there's something more than humans. I mean, how else did we get here, from the simplest organisms to us. Evolution and science can't account for everything. I'll just have to die and see what happens lmao

[notofthisworld1113]

I'm not into religion, i believe nothing but the bible, none of that outside stuff

i believe that jesus died on the cross for my sins so that i could be in heaven with Him forever you see its no about religion its about having a relationship with God.

[notofthisworld1113]

Hey dude its not about religion is about a relashionship with God

[JesusFreak022393]

Too poor for private school. Both my dad and my step-dad couldn't care less for religion. And calling my mom a hypocrite would be being generous. I believe in God because out of all the theories I have looked at, He is the one that makes the most sense, and has the least amount of contradictions and unanswered questions.

And if God isn't real, disprove Him. Go ahead. Like I said, disproving something that isn't real should be easy, by definition.

[Crackaplz1009]

Science disproves it. You cannot physically turn a couple pieces of bread and some fish into hundreds and thousands. You can not turn water into wine. You cannot return from the dead. You cannot cure blindness. You cannot make a sea split in half. A virgin cannot give birth to a child (unless she goes to a sperm bank). Is that enough or shall I keep going?

[JesusFreak022393]

Exactly! So, assuming a few thousand witnesses weren't drugged, those things happening PROVES God, rather than disproves Him. The fact that we, as humans, cannot replicate those feats serves my cause, not yours.

[MasterAtNone]

well if you think about it, science does disprove that such miracles can be replicated. It's the same way for either cases. Can anyone here prove that god exists/doesn't exist? I don't think anyone is capable of doing so. I don't think we should be arguing over something that is based on personal preferences. Neither side will get anywhere. As for me, I believe that there is something greater than human beings but we just don't know what it is. This is a song lol enjoy it

[JesusFreak022393]

Exactly what I've been saying! I cannot prove Him anymore than you can disprove Him. But Crackaplz has been trying desparately, but I've seen no evidence.

[MasterAtNone]

The one thing I do disagree with concerning god is this: people call god HIM. If god was a benevolent being, then wouldn't god NOT have a gender. I believe that if there is a god, god wouldn't have a gender. That would be sexist and that's why I don't believe in the bible. It was written by man and was very sexist. I think that god is just an entity with power if there is one. That's just my opinion though, you can choose to believe that god has a gender. It doesn't really matter though

[JesusFreak022393]

Given humans tendency to want to define things, God acquired a gender somewhere in history, but since God is technically everything, calling God 'Him' isn't incorrect, either. 'It' just seems demeaning, but then again, trying to define an all-powerful being such as God may be just as demeaning. There's no real answer to that either.

[MasterAtNone]

I don't think god acquired a gender ever. God is just an entity for power or possibly a metaphor for something we can't explain. meh too many known unknowns that make no sense lol

[JesusFreak022393]

I meant in the minds of humans.

[MasterAtNone]

well yeah that's true

[KoRnescence93]

could you go preaching somewhere else?

It doesnt matter what you think of god, it doesnt matter that I think God is a lie. what I think is that people invented god as a "get-out clause" - something they could turn to and say "oh well if god has decided this is whats best than who are we to dispute it." I think people invented god so they could blame him or pass their troubles to him and not be judged..

but this video is about music not god. so just listen and enjoy!

[JesusFreak022393]

If it doesn't matter what either of us think about God to you, then why comment?

[KoRnescence93]

because the point is we should be able to express our opinions without having to debate over it. we should just be paying attention to the music. after all, nobody looks up As I Lay Dying so they can have a religious debate.

[JesusFreak022393]

Who is forcing you to read the comments? Don't read, enjoy the music.

[KoRnescence93]

nobody forced me to read the comments, what the fuck does that have to do with anything I said?

[clonesamarie]

you truly believe this though?in the same way your doin the same thing as him jsut contradicting yourself. instead of looking at the basic outline of this religion any religion. why dont u look at the basic views, there beliefs? the 10 commandments perfect example. all of this, would u rather it gone?

[KoRnescence93]

what the fuck are you talking about? when did I contradict myself? and when did Jesusbitch contradict themself? and I personally couldn't be fucked whether religion is there or not coz I dont believe in it. the point I was making is that there is no need to debate over religious views. its a matter of opinion, I stated my beliefs (or lack there-of) and was judged and preached too! there is no need for it!!!

[JustMacProductions]

kinda, TDWP and As I Lay Dying are both great christian bands

[cutsxx2xxthexxbone]

True, they are amazing.!
