In the finest tradition of horror, many Death and Black Metal music videos tell and show us the dark side of humanity and of the madness and horror that lurks in the darkness. Every night at Midnight, the Dedman will bring you yet another video to showcase the talents of those that screech and scream about the things that lurk in deeper recesses of our souls! Tonight’s featured band is As I Lay Dying and the name of the song is “Parallels” from the album The Powerless Rise (2010)…

“We are all comatose
We are overfed and under
Undernourished
Yearning for something more
Never starving yet
Never quite satisfied
Carnal
But without useful flesh or mind, yeah
I am a walking contradiction
That’s found consistency
Consuming everything
All without producing sustenance
In the parallels we struggle
Struggle to upkeep
There is a better way
For us to be set free
From all it is we crave
There must be more to life
Than to simply stay alive
To simply stay alive
We are not the same
As I hope to show
There is a better way
If we just let go
We are not
We are not the same
We are not
We are not the same, let go
In the tension between
Devouring want or simple need
It’s clear the only lines
Between the ones we preserve
We are not the same
As I hope to show
There is a better way
If we just let go
We are not
We are not the same
We are not
We are not the same
Let go
We are not the same
And in the parallels
We struggle to upkeep
There’s a better way for us to be
For us to be set free
And in the parallels
(Parallels)
We struggle to upkeep
(Struggle to upkeep)
There’s a better way for us to be
For us to be set free
We are not the same
As I hope to show
There is a better way
If we just let go
We are not
We are not the same
We are not
We are not the same
We are not the same”
