Laid to Rest Lyrics

Cover art for Laid to Rest lyrics by Lamb of God

this song kicks some serious ass, but as for it's meaning, i think it might have something to do with a person finally being able to let go of their religious beliefs, since there are references to the bible within it, i.e. ".... the truth shall set you free", also (in regards to letting it go) "... you're better off empty and blank then left with a single pathetic trace..." to me, that right there is a representation of how hard it is to drill out the teachings that are engraved into a person raised in a religious family. whatever the case is, it's obvious that this is a very multilayered song and is what i think, i great way to herald metal's saviors (maybe?)
