In January of 2001 vocalist Tim Lambesis left Texas-based Societys Finest to return home to San Diego where he and long time friend Evan White began writing music for what would become As I Lay Dying. With a strong vision already in mind they began gathering some of the city's great musicians. Drummer Jordan Mancino had recently left Edge of Mortality, and Brandon Hays, previously of The Frontline, joined later that year. After establishing their new lineup, the bands debut record, "Beneath the Encasing of Ashes", was written in March of 2001 and released on Pluto Records. The album is the top selling Pluto release to date. Having completed their first tour immediately following their release, these guys have become known for their passionately energetic, neck More... (Submit New As I Lay Dying Lyrics) (Submit New As I Lay Dying Lyrics) Review about As I Lay Dying Huh... | Reviewer: Doesnt Matter ------ About the song Through Struggle performed by As I Lay Dying I believe that everyone has a unique feeling whenever he/she is listening to a song. The only way to enjoy music is to find YOUR OWN MEANING AND YOU WILL ONLY ENJOY IT UNTILL AND UNLESS YOU HEAR WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR. If someone is listening to a song with atheistic aspect, then he will only find it cool, untill the time when someone will tell him that "HEY THIS SONG IS ABOUT FAITH". Besides the band just made the material, they just wrote poetry and the only way to enjoy it, is to believe the meaning you infer from it. The whole arguement is baseless. AILD didn't specify their meaning, so the song can mean a lot of different things, maybe somethings that even we don't know about, because we weren't sitting there and writing the song and possesing the kind of feeling the writer had while he was writing the song. " Metal Forever " As i lay dying | Reviewer: Crissdudeman ------ About the song 94 Hours performed by As I Lay Dying I remember when i was all heavy into these kinds of bands, not that im comparing underoath to AILD but they are both good bands christian rock/metal/post hardcore screamo w/e you want to call it. this is not the best song they have done though for sure, forever or the beginning are better i think. Im not religious, i still like it. Person | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier performed by As I Lay Dying Why is to do with god?? cant it just be a song about stuff that isnt to do with god at all cause i dont like religion and i like to think it can have something to do without it cause i had very bad experiences with... religion and their views etc... well said | Reviewer: Regulator ------ About the song Through Struggle performed by As I Lay Dying Well said believer. it's music, whether you like the lyrics or not. I'm sure not many of us believe what bands say to us in their songs, but if you do then all the more reason to listen to them. But they're good messages anyways.. This song | Reviewer: Thomas ------ About the song Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier performed by As I Lay Dying This song is one of the best christain songs ive heard. me and my youth group band are planning on do this song and we are change the screaming to singing that way there isnt any complaints. and to all those who arent saved be saved i want to see you in heaven Listen | Reviewer: Ian ------ About the song Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier performed by As I Lay Dying This song is very clear that it is about God. "You" and "Your" are capitalized in their lyric book to the album, just as it is in the Bible. Also "I am able to bring You nothing that isn't already Yours" really makes it plain as day. God created everything so in turn we can not bring Him anything that is not already his. I hope this does not stir any controversy just giving my take on this fantastic song. Cheers and God bless. hahaha, ok.. | Reviewer: believer ------ About the song Through Struggle performed by As I Lay Dying First, I am a Christian. Do I think that should be a topic of conversation on an As I Lay Dying lyrics page? I do not. Nor will I attack the atheists, though I will say some of you need a lesson in spelling and grammar. Maybe you didn't read enough books growing up. (that was a joke) The point of my post is to show that AILD's lyrics DO in fact contain Christian elements -- and that is why some of "US CHRISTIANS" like them so much. "Comfort Betrays" says: For I would have stood by you Right to the gates of hell Hell? He DID just say hell, right? Like, the opposite of heaven? "The Sound of Truth" says: For what use is there in praying If you will only hear what you want to hear? We speak of fighting to resist this world But what about the battle within us? If we have chosen to live against the grain Then why are we all facing the same way? There is no difference between us and them If we all blindly seek truth from sentiments I believe that speaks for itself. "Wrath Upon Ourselves" says: I can only imagine that wrath is being held out So there will be time for us to be redeemed ...redeemed? I've heard that before somewhere. one more. "This is Who We Are" says: Without the burden that's in our hearts None of us would have ever found You For You are faithful when we are not You began a work That only you can complete and ...Why we're given grace we'll never deserve And a second chance that we will never earn i almost forgot this one: For I have fallen And there is nothing good Within me yet I've Been given life I will never Deserve For without Forgiveness Without forgiveness my soul is lost ----------------- I'm not going to be daunted by your criticisms of my faith; if you "know history" then you'll know that JEWISH historians record a man named JESUS who died on a cross. He's not imaginary. I, FOR ONE, am glad that NON CHRISTIANS enjoy AILD's music as much as I do. And everyone here seems to forget that we are all entitled to our own opinions on faith, or lack thereof -- I know I'd die for my beliefs, and I know atheists that would die before being forced to believe. We must accept and respect each other at some level. *sigh* | Reviewer: Nate ------ About the song Forsaken performed by As I Lay Dying I hate how religion worked its way into metal. I don't care if they are Christians, but I think it would be a better band if they didn't sing about "God" or Jesus. Seriously... how can Christianity be hardcore? Not to rag on Christians or anything.. I'm just asking. Don't be offended. The riffs and the drums are amazing.. just don't like the lyrics. seriously? | Reviewer: wouldn't you like to know? ------ About the song Through Struggle performed by As I Lay Dying ok people. arguing is rediculous. all the members are all indeed christian, & as such, the lead singer himself has stated, that all their songs are written from a christian aspect. some songs are totally christian, while others reflect on matters of life like love, war, & other emotions & phenomena, while being from a christian aspect, with christian thoughts & ideals incorperated into the lyrics. so, TECHICALLY, they are a christian band, but, also a quote from the lead singer states, "i don't see the difference between a christian band & five christians in a band." so think on that how you want to. i think blaaaaaaaah has the right idea. songs & poems are also written to be taken by the listener or reader to mean what they want. the listener/reader should apply it to their life & choose a meaning for themself. so everyone is entitled to an opinion. SO STOP ARGUING!!!!! if you have a problem with that, e-mail me. peace. ?!!? | Reviewer: gits ------ About the song Forever performed by As I Lay Dying i thiok As I Lay Dying is a gud band. i dnt care if they are christians or not. their music is enough for me. bout Lamb of God, ive never heard any of their lyrics inclined towards christianity. Im Kenyan and people here love As I Lay Dying, most of them dont know they are a 'christian' or 'christians in a band' don't you see the metaphors? | Reviewer: andrew ------ About the song Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier performed by As I Lay Dying he is the fallen soldier, or at least this is my opinion. this song is completely about religion, and his love for christ as he makes the mistakes that we are all supposed to make in life. it is also him trying to put himself second as well. i feel this, because this song came to me at a correct time. do you agree? whatever | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forever performed by As I Lay Dying u would have to be an idoit to think Lamb of God is a christian band. Im a christian myself and i dont care what religion a band is as long as it is good music who cares. Mark Morton is a beast on guitar ( just thought i would add that in). And As I Lay Dying is just of an awesome band as Lamb of God. reply to "Clarity on religion" | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forever performed by As I Lay Dying lamb of god is NOT a christian band. if they were, they wouldn't use any bad language in their music. as i lay dying writes their music from a christian perspective. an exact quote from the lead singer, Tim Lambesis, states, "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. I believe that change should start with me first, and as a result, our lyrics do not come across very "preachy." 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." the members of lamb of god may be christians personally,i don't know, but their music is not. Who cares | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forever performed by As I Lay Dying I may not be a satanist or a genius but if a bands members are Christian but don't include anything religious what's the big deal I didn't think they were Christian I just found but I'm still blsrin their cd in my stereo and I don't think lamb of god is a Christian band simply because their previous band name was burn the preist so yea don't think so ahahah | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forever performed by As I Lay Dying Now who's the idiot who said lamb of god is a christian band ahahaha lamb of god used to be called burn the priest, seen the ruin music video, I don't think a christian band would have a video like that and walk with me in hell? WOW some1 is really stupid to believe lamb of god is christian Check dis out | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song 94 Hours performed by As I Lay Dying If u guys are seeking for more of these headbangers the chek out for the no' An Ocean between Us' of this band. . . . Jesus mind boggling song. . Specialy wen they drop down from grawling to soft:-):-). Damn fresh oooowwah From wikipedia.org:: | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Confined performed by As I Lay Dying Confined - "In this song, "home" is a place of purpose and vision. This song is about losing that sense of purpose and being caught up in the meaningless things of this life, like materialism and the temporary emotions that control our thoughts and actions. As easily as I identify these meaningless things, I often catch myself being emptied into these passionless desires. There is such a strong sense of urgency for everything that we do in life, but how many of those urgent tasks will last long enough to justify our efforts? I begin to ask myself that same questions while looking out the window beyond the grey walls of our tour van. There are so many places we have gone that I will never forget, but that same van has taken me to countless cities in pursuit of what I will never be able to take with me beyond this life" This song | Reviewer: Krazymigit ------ About the song Through Struggle performed by As I Lay Dying I BELIEVE, that this song has nothing to do with god.. Its about Love, the piece he is trying to rid himself of is his heart. He is saying his heart makes him feel emotions and he can now understand and bring him self closure since its been removed, through struggle he has found rest.. not so christian | Reviewer: miers ------ About the song Control Is Dead performed by As I Lay Dying yes they are Christians....but they are not a christian metal band. Tim Lambesis himself says that nothing they sing about aims to have any religious connotations. this song is good because it speaks about everyday life. just as all their songs do. Religion should stop being a part of music. music is from the soul and your soul shouldnt be guided. wow...cant believe this. | Reviewer: blaaaaaaaah ------ About the song Through Struggle performed by As I Lay Dying i love how like almost every review i read is just one huge argument on whether AILD is christian or not, or if they write christian songs or not. they have something for that, its called GOOGLE. LOOK IT UP. instead of making ur own damn assumptions about the band with ur own believes, look them up and find out yourself instead of having an argument with nothing to back it up. the members of the band ARE christian, but the band as a whole ISNT a christian band. I myself believe that they relate to this song with their struggle in their faith, but word it in a sense where it can be applied to any faith in the world. but then again, its just an opinion, which u people seem to have a problem with on here lol.
