"The Sound Of Truth" lyrics - AS I LAY DYING

AS I LAY DYING
"The Sound Of Truth"
(As I Lay Dying / Tim Lambesis)

[Chorus 2x:]
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, calls you!
For what, use is there, is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?

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

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?

[Guitar solo]

There is no difference between us and them
If we all blindly, seek truth from sentiments

[Chorus 3x:]
We have all heard, what we wanted to hear
"Truth" that sounds right to our ears
