02. Nothing Left Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
This world was never worthy
But how can I call it unfaithful Every promise was fulfilled As decay crawled from it's throat Like the dead rising from an open grave Like the dead rising from an open grave Lips of splendor and tongue of deceit All dying now as our fragile wrists hold only waste Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide there's nothing left Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide there's nothing left If all my sorrow has led me here Then I would cry all of my tears To have this chance again To have this chance And know there's more than this And know there's more than you Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide there's nothing left Like those gasping for their last breath We cannot hide there's nothing left 03. An Ocean Between Us Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail? And how many days have we wasted Chasing a love that was not our own? I sat ashore and watched As one hopeless wave crashed upon another While my thoughts ran to the hills My heart never, never reached the sea With only delusions of an endless journey I am left with an ocean between you and me An ocean between Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection Of someone else's dream The gate to my heart has been weld shut With the splendor of my aspirations closed in How many years have we waited For a ship that never set sail? And how many days have we wasted Chasing a love that was not our own? Is this your salvation? Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection Of someone else's dream Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection Of someone else's dream How many days have we waited For a ship that never Never set sail How many days have we wasted For a ship that never Never set sail, set sail! Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection Of someone else's dream Is this your salvation? Is this all you can give? I will not stand in reflection Of someone else's dream 04. Within Destruction Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
If music is
A mirror revealing The depths of my heart Then I will write The darkest song For without Forgiveness My soul is lost All that is hope Within destruction Comes from you For I have fallen All that is hope Within destruction Comes from you For I have fallen Fallen If music is A mirror revealing The depths of my heart Then I will write The darkest song For without Forgiveness My soul is lost All that is hope Within destruction Comes from you For I have fallen And there is nothing good Within me yet I've Been given life I will I will never Deserve For without Forgiveness Without forgiveness my soul is lost All that is hope Within destruction All that is hope Within destruction All that is hope Within destruction All that is hope Within destruction All that is hope All that is hope All that is hope All that is hope 05. Forsaken Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
I've looked straight into your eyes
And turned my head for the last time Because I was scared to leave these walls in ruin Like the fate of those who trust in themselves We are alone and afraid I know you are the one we left behind Yet somehow we are the ones who are alone You are the one we left behind You are the one we left be... I will no longer turn my head I will never forget you You are the one we left behind You are the forsaken We've built our confidence On broken dreams now left for dead Yet we've been condemned To chase these dreams that never end I know you are the one we left behind Yet somehow we are the ones who are alone You are the one we left behind You are the one we left be... I will no longer turn my head I will never forget you You are the one we left behind You are the forsaken I will no longer turn my head I will never forget you You are the one we left behind You are the forsaken Our selfishness consumes us Until the whole world is not enough Forgive the day that I erased your name That I erased your name For it's the memory of me that will decay I know you are the forsaken Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone I know you are the forsaken Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone 06. Comfort Betrays Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
You sat and watched
As I nearly destroyed myself Never had I felt so betrayed That you would sacrifice my life For no more than comfort And now your love means nothing to me Your love means nothing to me Nothing to me You are a coward, the antithesis of a friend Take action before there is No one left to defend For I would have stood by you For I would have stood by you For I would have stood by you For I would have stood by you Right to the gates of hell Right to the gates of hell 07. I Never Wanted Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
I never wanted
And I never cared before I never wanted And I never cared before Now take it back This is a new day I never wanted And I never cared before Now take it back This is How I long to regress To the days before I took upon myself The obsessions of this world (For tomorrow) To the day of innocence equating beauty (May fall) For tomorrow may fall (And today) And today is already gone (Is already gone) For tomorrow may fall Today is already gone Now take it back This is a new day I never wanted This is a new day And I never cared before I never wanted And I never cared before I've grown tired of chasing Convinced I was in need And now the years I've spent Only a slave to this Tomorrow will fall And today is already gone I will no longer adore these things That will never satisfy me I have seen my world change And then go back to where it came In this vicious cycle We are all Brought back to life Only to die In this vicious circle We are all Brought back to life Only to die (And I) In this vicious circle (I have seen my) We are all (My world change) Brought back to life (And then go back) Only to die (Back to where it came) In this vicious circle (But without these) We are all (Barren obsessions) Brought back to life (I am simply) Only to die (I am simply free) I have seen my world change And then go back to where it came 08. Bury Us All Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
I see them coming
With shrouds to bury us all Before we were born they shaped our lives Leading us into an unmarked grave In moments life could end So I will speak while I can This is my chance My time to stand This is my chance My time to stand This is my chance My time to stand We may fail alone but that is better Than dying with them only to be forgotten I for one would rather suffer now Than leave this life without passion This is our chance Our time to stand This is our chance Our time to stand This is our chance Our time to stand 09. The Sound Of Truth Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
We have all heard, what we wanted to hear
Truth that sounds right to our ears We have all heard, what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears But what wisdom, is there within us To live based on, the feeling of our hearts How many times, has instinct let us down Never to be, thought through Never to be, questioned Say what you really mean When your ambition, calls you, calls you For what, use is there, is there in praying? If you will only, hear what you want, to hear We have all heard, what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We speak of fighting, to resist this world But what about the battle, 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 We have all heard, what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We have all heard, what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears We have all heard, what we wanted to hear Truth that sounds right to our ears 10. Departed Music by As I Lay Dying

11. Wrath Upon Ourselves Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
I can only, I can only
Imagine that, imagine that wrath is being held out So that there, so that there Will be time out for us to be redeemed But surely wrath is not being held out So that we may redeem ourselves For I have seen the madness Of those who died trying But is regret only a word That the living possess? But is regret only a word Only a word that the living possess? I long to see their faces Regardless of the decay For in the eyes of the deceased... We would see hope in our last day Inside this dying world For there is still, for there is still beauty Inside this dying world For what good is there holding off wrath If we are determined To bring wrath upon ourselves Wrath upon ourselves To bring wrath upon ourselves We would see hope in our last day Inside this dying world For there is still, for there is still beauty Inside this dying world We would see hope in our last day Inside this dying world For there is still, for there is still beauty Inside this dying world 12. This Is Who We Are Music by As I Lay Dying Lyrics by Tim Lambesis
Now this is who we are
I am no one's hero For we are not the giant men That some may think You are faithful when we are not So I'd like to tell this story The way it is meant to be 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 Now this is who we are I'll never know the answers And I'll always wonder why Now this is who we are I'll never know the answers And I'll always wonder why Why we're given grace we'll never deserve And a second chance that we will never earn For there is nothing I can do to save myself Now this is who we are I'll never know the answers And I'll always wonder why Now this is who we are I'll never know the answers And I'll always wonder why Now this is who we are I'll never know the answers And I'll always wonder why But you have let me start again I'd rather be called weak Than die thinking I was strong |
