As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us Lyrics






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 reached the sea
with only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me

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 all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else's dream

    For a ship that never set sail?
    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, 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, yeah

    The gate to my heart
    Has been well shut
    With the splendor of
    My aspirations closed in

    How many years have we waited
    For a ship that never set sail?
    How many days have we wasted
    Chasing a love that was not our own?

    I want to hate that clean chorus part... but.. I.. just.. can't.. Fuck, it's too good and gets stuck in my head all the time

  38. M.... I....

    This band had the best lead guitar and drums I have ever seen. Literally no bad songs on any album. Amazing consistency. Nobody tries to overplay each other

    M.... I....

    @Jeremiah Babcock psht. Fuck outta here

    M.... I....

    @Jeremiah Babcock the holy trio of metalcore are: AILD, KSE, and Trivium. The 3 gods lead the metalcore genre hand in hand

    M.... I....

    @Robert where is All that Remains and BFMV in your equation?

    M.... I....

    Ι heard all AILD albums till Awakened and I can say that this song is their best song ever

    Z.... N....

    Z.... N....

    Bob Bob so you *don't* know what a hypothetical means...

    Z.... N....

    @TheRealVarzens depression and suicide rate is a lot higher in "atheist" countries.

  51. A.... O....

    To God: Is your salvation all you can give In exchange of you forsaking us all Made to live in pain and suffering Because you failed at perfection!!??!!

    A.... O....

    .
    That's not true. Earth was originally intended for perfection until the fall of man, now imperfection is all there is here. God doesn't desire us to struggle or toil. its a result of the fall that came through adam. Christ is the second Adam who restores us too perfection.

    A.... O....

    Fall of man,free will,salvation...thats all metaphors for our being the whole biblical story never happened really.The story is happening in our lives

    A.... O....

    Dusty McFarland All that is left is for you to show any of that is actually true

    A.... O....

    Yeah god you fucking piece of shit failure

    A.... O....

    @Blue Goblin 2.0 agreed

    Hi! We're a pop-punk band from Italy and this is our new lyric video. It'd be awesome if you could watch it and if you like it share with you friends :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRki6EYtH8U

    d.... ....

    You guys are lame. Please don't post comments of this faggoty type of music on a song that has nothing to do with whatsoever. At least post the comment on something related or similar.....

  60. M.... K....

    .l. bijscht

  61. P.... T....

    Nice! Death metal is not death :-)

    P.... T....

    +Pavel Turek This is not Death Metal, hope that was sarcasm :)

    P.... T....

    +Pavel Turek stfu , it's metalcore with melodeath elements .

    P.... T....

    Still not Death Metal.

    P.... T....

    It has never died bro.

    P.... T....

    Pavel Turek but this is metalcore...

  62. R.... S....

    Holy fucking shit can't believe I forgot about you guys!

    R.... S....

    Easy to do when the lead singer is in jail for attempted murder... he threw away a great talent and great career!

    R.... S....

    okay chill

    R.... S....

    Rikki Morley not attempted murder. Conspiracy to commit

    R.... S....

    I was making it sound better for effect

    Purgatory-Dark After Dawn[NEW SONG 2015]:

    http://youtu.be/j_F8NwQVxAc

    check this out

  64. P.... ....

    This band was really excellent... But I don't know how in the world they get away with the main riff in this song. It's the Creeping Death riff almost exactly. 

    P.... ....

    Their main riff here is similar to the Creeping Death main riff but not exactly the same. The speed they play it at and the other riffs make it original. But I can see how you heard Metallica's influence in the song. Undeniable influence.

    P.... ....

    lemme see how you invent the wheel again. There is always. Always someone who has played something similarly. No listen and dont be a smart ass.

    P.... ....

    potatohead3333 hey. You're a smart guy with all those 3s :)

    P.... ....

    you can fucking commit toaster bath

  65. m.... h....

    they need a singer like maiden

    m.... h....

    That'd be pretty hectic

  66. K.... R....

    What if they get up?  If they aren't laying down anymore, what happens then?  Are they still dying?  I also wonder how many people I will actually piss off with such an un-hurtful comment such as this one?

    K.... R....

    i dont think people will be mad at your comment, try something like
     this isnt metal or band X is way better :p

    K.... R....

    Well I am glad that you didn't get mad at me.  I really like this album, wasn't into much of there other songs; I've heard some and didn't like and haven't heard any other songs by them.  Also the whole about the lead singer and his wife, dang that sucks; whether he hired someone or not, either way it sucks.  I read up on some stuff about it and I guess his wife was a little "less than sane".  Who knows if she's "sick or sane" ha pun intended.

    K.... R....

    @shiiina
    that is amazing. i love you.

    First time when I read that I said to myself: "Wut?! This is low-quality!"... After that I noticed that my headphones were broken because of the epicness.

  70. S.... D....

    Is this your salvation?
    Is this all you can give?

  75. K.... R....

    Too bad Tim... I guess Austrian DM is gone now too.... Wish talented people werent so stupid. Now he will go down in history, not for his music, but for being a famous figure who tried to have his wife killed.

    N.... ....

    New song just dropped today bro, he gets his second chance

  77. m.... ....

    Thanks for the great quality post. Too bad lead singer Tim Lambesis got busted yesterday for solicitating to have his estranged wife murdered. And so the drama contiunues...
