As I Lay Dying - A Greater Foundation Lyrics
Reality no longer battles perception.
This letter's written to no one.
Sincere,
I sought your truth and divine purpose through myths of revelation.
supported only so long, as my mind was the enemy.
I could not in conscience hold on.
AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS
AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS us
You call this shameful disbelief,
a process like losing my closest friend.
AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS
AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS us
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
before we can rebuild them again - a greater foundation.
I wish there was another way, but no amount of devotion can fix this.
Triumph awaits! [x5]
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
before we can rebuild them again - a greater foundation.

Looks like Tim has built a greater foundation going into 2020 🤘🏻
I love this song so very much. METALCORE IS MORE ALIVE THAN EVER!!! Hell yeah
Hope whoever is reading this has a wonderful day, cheers.
If you have a little time on your hand an want to support a young upcoming band, my band just released our first music video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHUS5Tit0P4
You would do me such a huge favor. Love from Austria^^
They should change up their videos style with some bitches and flying tities!!!
Got to see this live in Seattle on Monday, first time I've seen them live. Fantastic show and the lead singer is huge, and a powerful presence on stage. I'm so happy to see the band continue to play and overcome adversity. They are building truly on a Greater Foundation!
Pow como pode dar deslike em um baita som desse se tá louco
Gym lambesis
That chorus literally gives me chills every time!

Is that Charlie Kelly’s singing voice?
I remember driving my cousin to this music video shoot for his birthday
A band who lifts together, riffs together.
It's cool ,i am from indonesian 👍🤘🤘😎
My first ever As I Lay Dying song, oh man time flies... I remember listening to this song back in early 2013 when I joined the academy.
Who knew that after this album everything went down to hill with the whole Tim's controversy but years later AILD came back stronger and better than ever.
Shaped By Fire will be an instant metalcore hit, that's for sure.
This album gotta be in my top 5 favorite metal vocal performance ever. Damn Lambesis crushed on this record!
As I lay Timpunching
I love Jailcore genre ,feels like m gonna hire hitman sooon
Shaped By Fire is Coming in September 20th, 2019. The Boys are officially back. Stronger than ever.
Prisoncore ftw
How it feels when you lose faith in someone you’ve held in high regard for so long.
I always need a neckbrace the day after hearing that song
Mrko, los amo... Me encanta esta banda :3
The guitarist is very talented
Greater foundation is amazing riffs
7 years after and I still love those drums.
such a good song ruined by the chorus
The chorus reminds me of Christmas
As a proud recovering addict I definatly relate to this song as well as this song got me thru alot of shit to rebuild a greater foundation thank you aild
Amazing tune. A lot of energy. Respect!
So apparently Tim Lambesis Was A Monster. Can't listen to this again. 😭
This band gets me so fucking hyped up!!
It's like Tim predicted his future:
"Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
Before we can rebuild them again"
Welcome back Tim!
or told us what he was about to experience
Sometimes we have to kill our own wives!! I can't be the only one who heard it.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! WELCOME TO RUSSIA GUYS!! 10000 people waiting you!
I think Awakened is probably my favorite album from them. The lyrics are much more dark and personal, you could tell Tim was struggling with his demons, and as a result he penned some of the most relate-able lyrics of their career.
Anyone here after hearing their 2 new songs?
Saw them a couple of weeks ago in Nashville. One of the sickest shows I've ever been to, the pits were absolutely insane. I've still got some bruises.
Szia Radics Péter!
could be something! yet don't understand your fucking stupid words!
Goddamn these dudes had some of the best riffs I've ever heard. So late to the AiLD party :(
THE GREAT SONG EVER !!!! ( CHERRS FROM INDONESIA )
Just seen them live in St Louis. They fucking killed it. Go see them if you can. You will not be disappointed
I saw them recently at a small venue in CT. I was right up against the stage and they were incredible. I was deaf for like 2 days after the show but it was totally worth it!
Köszi Radics Peti!!! Imádom! :D
is that straight cat litter in a brief case? lmao
Patience be a virtue
Is it okay that I had a hard on for the entire duration of the song?
SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO KILL OUR WIVES!
9 YEARS IN PRIIISOOONN!!!!
For all you fans of Architects, August Burns Red, Parkway Drive etc out there, check out our latest single and video for Gently, produced by ex-Sikth vocalist Justin Hill. Any views, likes and feedback are all massively appreciated. Thanks!

Still better than my own grave.
VIVA OU METALCORE TURMA QUE OUVI BANDA AINDA 2019 DA UP \,,,/
The chorus might just be the greatest set of lyrics ever written.
This fucking riff man <3
LYRICS
Reality no longer battles perception
This letter's written to no one
Sincere
I sought your truth and divine purpose
Through myths of revelation
Guidance all wrapped up in a paper box
Supported only so long
As my mind was the enemy
I could not in conscience hold on
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits us
The powerful constant that I had once leaned on is no longer there
(No longer)
You call this shameful disbelief
A process like losing my closest friend
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits
As we face distress
We must not lose heart
Stand fast and press on
Triumph awaits us
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart
Before we can rebuild them again
A Greater Foundation
We watch our whole lives
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives
Fall apart
Before we can rebuild them again, (rebuild them again)
A Greater Foundation
I wish there was another way
But no amount of devotion can fix this
Triumph awaits
Triumph awaits
Triumph awaits
Triumph awaits
Triumph awaits
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart
Before we can rebuild them again (rebuild them again)
A Greater Foundation
(We watch our whole lives
Fall apart)
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives
(Rebuild them again)
Before we can rebuild them again
A Greater Foundation
Бомбаааааааааааааааа!!!!!!!
i always thought the cleans reminded me of Derek sum 41
I am really trying to figure this out . This little ding ding sound at 1:47 or 2:58 for example is it guitar or computer?
That chorus though
How do every member of AILD have perpetually wet hair. That's what I want to know man. Their hair is always wet. How?
JoySynthesis they wet their hair before going on stage or filming. Dumping a water bottle on their head.
Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart, before we can rebuild them again, a greater foundation.
Last year my life went down the shitter. I didn’t lose hope. Triumph awaits… triumph came. This year I got my family back and things couldn’t be better. Sometimes we have to watch our whole live fall apart… this year we were able to build a greater foundation and things couldn’t be better. 🤘
Sometimes songs really do get you through your darkest days. Never lose hope!
I so assume that in conditions of constant concerts, the vocalist not always such good physical form will be.Well, or it has become worse, who knows...
That song was a life changer for me.
Upon A Burning Body - City Hall
as i lay dying. i do no like metalcore but this is raw and awesome i like it
Wow... how prophetic was this song? 😮
I guess so fucking Amped when I hear this!
Did anyone else think they were doing a Seventh Star cover when this song started? I know I sure did.
This song kicks ass
2x speed is fire 🔥🔥
2:35 is so badass
2:07 "I thought I was an architect but I was just moving dirt."
Welcome back Tim
2:16 - break down - thank me later !
I look forward to hearing and hopefully seeing this band live soon!
A fan vid I made using this song, based upon an actual contact I made with a person coming off of rock bottom in life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqWcq2aa1lk
FUCKING AMAZING SHIT
OH MY GOD they are back
So glad they're back!!
As I Lay Dying is back!!!
ill be the one to say it. since AILD has already started making a huge comeback, Metal Blade def Knows that they'll make a ton of money regardless of the situation. don't be idiots. re-sign the GODS OF METALCORE.
You will all eat your god damn words now that they're back! Keep killing it boys
I think he worked out more in prison than I did lmao
WELCOME BACK KING OF METALCORE!!!
Musically and tehnically, their most amazing album, they were at their true prime. Tim really picked the moment when to fuck up, huh?
Begin The Hype.......The long awaited return is here!
Idiots on here. As I lay dying is coming back!
Awesome song ever i give this song a thumbs up.
THEY ARE COMING BACK
There's still good in you Tim come back to the light
He's coming back like many of us
he fought like Peter in the bible. we some time fall short the glory of god. at the moment he didn't control his anger righteously. but god is graceful
Everybody in this band kicks ass!
I can’t wait till As I Lay Dying returns with their new lineup besides Tim.
Hi Guys!!! Please, check my drum cover of this Song on my channel, subscribe if you like it. Thanks! :D
P.s.: I miss this band :(
The king of metalcore
I hope Tim comes back with a vengeance, he fucked up bad, yes, very bad..., but EVERYBODY DESERVES a 2nd chance!!! 🤘🔥🤘, brutal track, revisited 👏☠
