Unwound lyrics - As i lay dying

I see no reason to try and be what I am not

If simple honesty moves me, then why should I care?

Others may think I lost my poetic way (I've lost my way)

But I'd rather make my point without confusion

I have failed those who I love the most

And in the process become aware

I have accepted there is so much that I don't know

I have accepted my limitations

It is that knowledge that opens the door

For greater understanding

Perspective on what is still untold

I have accepted there is so much that I don't know

I have accepted my limitations

I have accepted there is so much that I'll never know

I have accepted my limitations

Sorting out my thoughts, that is why I write

Though I reveal my weakness surrendering is remedy

These songs have helped me though my greatest pain

Unwound within me the disorder of my life

I now see things for how they are

Even if that is a harsh reality

I have accepted there is so much that I don't know

I have accepted my limitations

I have accepted there is so much that I'll never know

I have accepted my limitations

A Greater Foundation (Extended Demo Version) lyrics - As i lay dying

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.

Until I could not in good conscience hold on.

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

The powerful constant that I had once leaned on is no longer there (no longer)

But no matter how sincere my devotion

The pieces never fit.

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

(We build them again)

A greater foundation

I wish there was another way,

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.

(We watch our whole lives)

Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives

(Fall apart)

Before we can rebuild them again

(We build them again)

A greater foundation

Paralyzed lyrics - As I Lay Dying

What is certain I have ignored

I have spent most of my life

Trying to complicate everything that I believe

So that while paralyzed

In thought I will always have an alibi

Just another excuse (just another excuse)

To hesitate (to hesitate)

Delaying true progress with passivity

The answers that I've found

Are all the same

They uncover questions

That still remain

The answers that I've found

Are all the same

They uncover questions

That still remain

What is certain I have ignored

And what I know is simple

If I am honest with myself

My soul is broken yet easily fixed

And what I know is simple

I must die if I truly want to live

The answers that I've found

Are all the same

They uncover questions

That still remain

The answers that I've found

Are all the same

They uncover questions

That still remain

The greatest of us have become the least

I must be reborn to revive a heart that hardly beats

Keeping alive this hollow frame

I must be reborn

I must be reborn

From Shapeless To Breakable lyrics - As I lay dying

If I have been kept alive for one reason,

It's to declare that apart from you I can do nothing

Though discouraged by my failure

I remember who I used to be

Like a murderer transformed into a pretty thief

I have so far, so far left to go

From shapeless to breakable I have involved

My transgressions are evident to all who know me

Like porcelain carried through a Downtown street

At any moment I might break

From shapeless to breakable I have involved

I could say a thousand more apologies

But to prove that I have truly changed

Only time will tell.

From shapeless to breakable I have involved

Moving Forward lyrics - As I Lay Dying

We're born helpless but guided by humanity

What was compassion

Soon controls the way we think

Familiarity has left me desensitized

And inanity keeps deception disguised

We are lost but keep moving forward

To find the truth we must turn around

History reveals an inviting sense of compromise

Our customs destroyed what was once unique

Traditions started with useful intention

Now subjugate those too numb to question

We are lost but keep moving forward

To find the truth we must turn around

I desire to wake from this sedation and begin to separate

The truth from tradition

We are lost but keep moving forward

To find the truth we must turn around

War Ensemble lyrics - As i lay dying

(originally by Slayer)

Propaganda death ensemble

Burial to be

Corpses rotting through the night

In blood laced misery

Scorched earth the policy

The reason for the siege

The pendulum it shaves the blade

The strafing air blood raid

Infiltration push reserves

Encircle the front lines

Supreme art of strategy

Playing on the minds

Bombard till submission

Take all to their graves

Indication of triumph

The number that are dead

Sport the war, war support

The sport is war, total war

When victory's really massacre

The final swing is not a drill

It's how many people I can kill

Sport the war, war support

The sport is war, total war

When victory's really survival

The final swing is not a drill

It's how many people I can kill

Be dead friend from above

When darkness falls

Descend into my sights

Your fallen walls

Spearhead break through the lines

Flanked all around

Soldiers of attraction

Forward their ground

Regime prophetic age

Old in its time

Flowing veins run on through

Deep in the Rhine

Center of the web

All battles scored

What is our war crimes

(Era forever more...war)

Propaganda war ensemble

Burial to be

Bones shining in the night

In blood laced misery

Campaign of elimination

Twisted psychology

When victory is to survive

And death is defeat

Sport the war, war support

The sport is war, total war

When the end is a slaughter

The final swing is not a drill

It's how many people I can kill

Hellion lyrics - As i lay dying

Hell hound!

Hot leather on your legs,

They're smoking power kegs

Your ranting on means

It's hell bound!

And you're the one they claim

Is going down in flames

You're acting in Hades grave

Hellion! The devil's hellion in town

Hellion! We'll never have to die!

Well, child,

You're sweating and you're stoned

They've got to knock you down

Makes you crazy all night!

You're in never ending pain

And drink the devil's rain

You're screaming out your name

Hellion! The devil's hellion in town

Hellion! We'll never have to die!

The Gods you worship are steel

At the altar of rock and roll

You kneel,

A slave who forever rocks

His tail in the devil's locks

A slave like the bloody exile

Hellion! The devil's hellion in town

Hellion! We'll never have to die!

Electric Eye lyrics - As i lay dying

(originally by Judas Priest)

Up here in space

I'm looking down on you.

My lasers trace

Everything you do.

You think you've private lives

Think nothing of the kind.

There is no true escape

I'm watching all the time.

I'm made of metal

My circuits gleam.

I am perpetual

I keep the country clean.

I'm elected electric spy

I protected electric eye.

Always in focus

You can't feel my stare.

I zoom into you

You don't know I'm there.

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves

My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.

Electric eye, in the sky

Feel my stare, always there

's nothing you can do about it.

Develop and expose

I feed upon your every thought

And so my power grows.

Protected. Detective. Electric eye.

Coffee Mug lyrics - As i lay dying

Mug mug mug

Coffee mug

Gonna clear away the haze

Liquid proof

That i can win this race

Coffee mug

The grip that keeps me tall

My inter-link

Keeps me questing all

I don't need no booze or drugs

I just chug-a-lug-o my coffee mug

And i don't need your kiss and hug

I just chug-a-lug-o my coffee mug

They haven't banned

My liquid drug of choice

There's too many hooked

And they've got too much voice

So for the moment

We're all pretty good to go

With 98 cups

With 98 more to go

I don't need no booze or drugs

I just chug-a-lug-o my coffee mug

And i don't need your kiss and hug

I just chug-a-lug-o my coffee mug

Here a bean, there a bean

Everywhere a mean mean

Bean chug - a - lug - o - my

Coffee - mug, mug, mug, mug
