How does the singer of AILD doing a new band make AILD better?
It was just like a catch phrase or something. I just like this new project alot.
Also, from what i understand, this is not a Christian project. And it seems Tim's beliefs have altered somewhat..
Altered? I don't see how, but ok.
''I am still inspired by the words of the man who told us to “love our enemies” and to serve “the least of these.” Regardless of where a person stands religiously, that is simply a better way to live, full of compassion, and alleviating our selfish suffering as we put our energy into serving those worse off than ourselves.” - Tim Lambesis
Regardless of where a person stands religiously.. easily can be taken as 'there is no right or wrong, there is no absolute truth, there is no one path to god'. All we have to do is live a good life and serve others and we're fine.
This concept is, of course, contradictory to what the bible teaches.
The lyrics to the song "The Invention of Hatred"
Am I the invention of hatred?
Or was hatred born in me?
Life delivered by indifference
Callous to suffering
Progress that is fueled without purpose
An engine of entropy
Built with detail yet still left heartless
Like a machine
Some accept that there is no point
But we still learn to survive
Death's the only means that we have to move on and refine
The truth appears to be empty
We face chaos and entropy
The truth appears to be empty
We face chaos and entropy
A seemingly cruel process leaving us with so much pain
And even one small moment of pleasure is from countless hours of misery
The invention of hatred
The truth appears to be empty
We face chaos and entropy
The truth appears to be empty
We face chaos and entropy
Am I the invention of hatred?
Or was hatred born in me?
Life delivered by indifference
Callous to suffering
You can remove good and evil
But we're still left with the burden of sorrow
It would be battle if there were even two sides at war
The invention of hatred
The truth appears to be empty
We face chaos and entropy
The truth appears to be empty
We face chaos and entropy
Chaos
Chaos and entropy
Their fb page even said that there lyrics are self-explanatory.
Also, the guitarist for this band is also from the band Allegaeon, which appears to be an atheist band, going by their lyrics.
Even if it is, I still like the band regardless. In fact I have a song or 2 of Allegaeon on my ipod.
