As I Lay Dying part 1 -screamo-

Ok. So what I will do is put the basic lyrics on here and a link to the song or it's music video. I recommend pulling up a separate browser and listening to it while reading the lyrics because it will make better sense then. I accidentally screwed this up though, because I was just going to do The Sound of truth, so I posted that one first. Then I realised that I should do both. You know, cause it's like prequel, then sequel. Whatever.

As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left

Verse:
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
Lips of splendor and tongue of deceit
All dying now as our fragile wrists hold only waste

Chorus:
Like those gasping for their last breath
We cannot hide there's nothing left

Verse:
If all my sorrow has led me here
Then I would cry all of my tears
To have this chance again
And know there's more than this
And know there's more than you
(chorus)

Here's the music video. Both this song and it's sequel (The Sound Of Truth. Next post.) have pretty shveet music videos if you ask me. They feature freaking AWESOME guitar and drums, and the vocals are very interesting. Honestly, I think they should be on Guitar Hero or Rock Band or something. Anyway... I will dissect the song starting with the chorus and then moving onto verse 1, then 2.

Chorus:
The chorus talks about how there are people out in the world who have nothing left, who are without hope and are dying. Either figuratively or realistically.

Verse 1:
The first verse means that even though the world is full of lies, it has never let us down. Life gives us exactly what we asked for. Sometimes it gives it to us in ways that are destructive and evil though. When we take it, we are getting only trash and deceit.

Verse 2:
The second verse is saying that when we do bad things because of sorrow it can lead us to a bad place where we think there is no hope left for us. We wish that there was another way and more to the world and our lives than mistakes and lies. The only way is through Christ.
