As I Lay Dying – Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier Lyrics 15 years ago
A beautiful prayer this song.
Obvious metaphores for his relationship with God.
For those who are confused on the final verse it is easy to explain... He is describing how at a time he refused to give his life to Christ (meaning not being saved) despite how Jesus so generously gave His life for all of us.

As I Lay Dying – Anodyne Sea Lyrics 15 years ago
I don't really think the song needs to be broken down verse by verse. As a whole it is describing the trials and tribulations of being Christian. Expecially among the metal community these guys get a lot of grief for not being ashamed of their faith. I think this song is them letting the persecutors know that they are not afraid to "walk alone".
