As I Lay Dying - The Sound Of Truth Lyrics






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
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

  9. I.... M....

    I get an adrenaline rush listening to this

  10. �.... ....

    メタルコアはあまり好きじゃないけど、この曲はかっこいい!

    昔のトリヴィアムを北欧メタル/パワーメタルと合体させたみたい!いいじゃん!

    The truth is in front of your eyes but an affront on your ears

  12. T.... B....

  13. J.... S....

    Man, that riff is too good

  16. E.... B....

    And to this day, the very talented members of KSE still shine through. Whether by artwork, producing and mixing, even engineering albums for many of these bands. Uplifting is and understatement.

  26. S.... H....

    Tim's vocals in Shaped by Fire are weak compared to this

    S.... H....

    He got old and more importantly, prison took its toll on his voice i guess.

    S.... H....

    @wieselflinkesWiesel good pun

  27. M.... M....

  30. D.... T....

    Just came from shroud stream, this song is good

  31. j.... ....

    This is a strong candidate for greatest song of all time in my book. Like pouring sugar down your ear canal...

  32. N.... Y....

    It's hard to believe the singer went to prison for murder

  33. 4.... ....

  34. �.... �....

    Riff is perfect, but solo is absolutely fantastic. Grandiose.

  70. C.... L....

    Idk about y'all but it's almost 2019 and ima still jam this!!

    C.... L....

    Sounds so much better then nowadays music. Music that comes on the radio is lik getting brainwashed 😵

  71. A.... A....

    sound like AMON AMARTH

    A.... A....

    Bruh... No 😂😂

    A.... A....

    Don't EVER say that again. That's it I'm calling a hitman. "(Ring)" yes tim? I need you. I know you're barely out of prison but i need one more favor."

  72. M.... ....

    The song that put this band on my radar back in high school. KILLER tune. The MEMORIES!

  73. S.... D....

    This song reminds me of my big bro, and all of our adventures growing up.
    Love you brother.

  74. R.... P....

    *Truth*

  75. R.... P....

    That rings true for you, Tim. You have fallen, but that does not mean that you must remain fallen.

  76. R.... P....

    The *truth* rings true. Many people hate to hear it, because they live in darkness.

    They hate to see their wrong come to light, but it is needed. They resist, but we *persist.*

  77. J.... P....

    Oh my...😱😱😱
    Awesome.

  78. M.... ....

    2018 <3

  79. C.... A....

    Good for heavy lifting.

  80. M.... M....

    2018 and I still blast this shit daily

  81. m.... c....

    2018 anyone?

  82. J.... S....

    I love every other part of this song hit the chorus. It's better to have a song solid screams than to have a song with predominantly screaming but when the singing comes in the chorus be mediocre as fuck

  83. A.... J....

    Vocals and riffs 💯 legendary . Everything is perfect . 💯🤘😎

  84. N.... ....

    My new *BEST* song 🤘

  85. A.... G....

    Legends

  86. T.... ....

    You may like screams on metal you may not... BUT MAN THESE RIFFS ARE GOLD!

  87. m.... h....

    One hell of a song 💗💗💗💗

  88. R.... H....

    To all the fuckin disturbed fans.... Cover your eyes ........

  89. H.... T....

    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

    For what use is there in praying

    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
