The Sound Of Truth lyrics

Songwriters: Lambesis, Timothy; Hipa, Samuel Nicholas; Mancino, Jordan; Sgrosso, Phillip

[Chorus]
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
"Truth" that sounds right to our ears

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
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 (calls you)
For what use is there, is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus] 3x

mtkuhn i completely agree w/ u, while i am a christian and you being agnostic u really seem to understand the meaning of the song, i hate when ppl thrash on AILD just becuz its metal, no one (that i no, due to my small town) listens to the lyrics. and whom ever brought politics into this is a complete idiot and doesnt deserve to listen to AILD.

I can see how one may interpret the lyrics to him doubting his faith, but I respectfully disagree. AILD's lyrics are taken from Ecclesiastes which expresses the frailty and depravity of all things of this world. Basically it says that nothing matters but the things of God. This song is (in my opinion) dealing with the struggle between things of this world and things of God. The Bible says "friendship with the world is enmity with God". I believe that when he says that "We speak of fighting to resist this world" he is talking about what a Christian should want to do. And when referring to the "battle within us" I think he's talking about his struggles. (desire for worldly things, doubting of faith, basically being nothing apart from God due to the flawed nature of man). Later he details that there is no difference between us(Christians) and them(those who aren't Christians) if we blindly seek truth from sentiments. I believe sentiments are referring to worldly things, that will never satisfy the God-shaped whole in man's heart. I am a Christian, so that is my point of view on it.

Ok this is where I think you're all wrong. Me NOT being a religious person (not Atheist, but Agnostic), I can see both sides of this. Yes it can be taken just like jamesthesasquatch said or you can see the darker side of it. Do you not thinking he's questioning his own faith? Just like where he says "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." Basically, religion is something that's in your hearts, just like God. There's no factual proof that any of it exists aside from a book that you take for "truth". You follow it based on instinct never to question it. Verse 2 goes on some more about that internal struggle of your faith. Do you falter or do you hold fast to that belief? "We speak of fighting this world (the evils), but what about the battle within us (the internal struggle)?" And when he says sentiments, that could mean your feelings about God. "There is no difference between us (religious people) and them (non-religious) if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments (our feelings)."
