lyrics

we, we wanna swim the deepest depths of oblivion
we wanna know that the gods have us in control
we see the cards and we go to fold
we play along but it soon grows old
they took the ark and sold it all for parts
they’ve got a fist full of fucking gold
a return on the souls they sold
do you remember who we are?
these tyrants will build an abyss
but the rest of us wish to exist
we’re hiding like a shadow in the dark
in the dark
be the change that you wanna see
no not like that
it’s a risk we can all agree
fuck the fucking facts
but it bleeds right in front of me
we’re under attack
yeah, we all know that these rights are holy
we’re never gonna leave this shell
let’s hope your gold don’t fail you now
save us a special place in hell
you’re the reason that our hearts ache
deep fake
we are one and the fucking same
we see the cards and we go to fold
we play along but it soon grows old
we took the ark and sold it all for parts
they’ve got a fist full of fucking gold
a return on the souls they sold
do you remember who we are?
these tyrants will build an abyss
but the rest of us wish to exist
we’re fighting with a shadow in the dark
deep fake

Im livin for 2:00 onwards AGHHHH and thank you for the heavy black eyeshadow, Love when singers where it!

[joshtunnicliffe]

I LOVE the dual vocals between Sam & Josh in the second verse. I’ve been waiting so long for this! Incredible

[Kthxbye]

Rip Grandma, this song came out the day you passed, and it will always remind me of you.

[emrahu]

This band is still so amazing!!! Bravoooo

[rad.yall]

I just love whatever Architects is doing with their music.

[prototype]

I really really like this one. LOVE that breakdown, love that upwards shift in the chorus. Just overall really really enjoyable.

[VoidPumpkin]

A solid, catchy track! I love the lyrical references to their older music. 'A return on the souls they sold' being taken from the lyrics to Nihilist and 'But some of us wish to exist' as a reference to the last album's title. I really enjoy how their lyrics echo throughout their career, it makes it feel like one continuous vision and story. I can't wait to hear the rest of the new record!

[SetForTomorrow]

Loving the newer architects. The old stuff will always be sacred, but they do this style so well.

[angryfk]

absolutely incredible!!!! love to see you guys experimenting, changing, growing, and showing new sides. it’s like watching a friend over the years, who’s maturing and i love every bit of it!!!

[PiribauerJason]

I am definitely a fan of the older style. All Our Gods and Holy Hell are two of the best albums I've ever heard. This new style is growing on me tho.

[zanetpieterse]

Please stay relentless in the path you are pursuing with your music. I love that you're doing whatever makes you happy, just like true artists should. Your band is loved and respected, and in my opinion all your songs ever since FTTWTE are SICK!!! Architects is one of the few bands that gets the evolution of music and the power of their craft in these troubled times.... Congratulations and success to you!

[itLEAKED]

Thank you for having the balls to be yourselves, and continue to make music that is honest and real.

[jeffmoore]

I cant get enough of this band. Architects are just plan badass

[PolarityMetal]

Damn that chorus is good. So nice to hear Josh as well, keep making bangers you guys! 💙

[k.]

The producer absolutely nailed this song. Don’t get me wrong, good band, good song but the Ingenieur made this song bigger than it is I guess. In an absolute positive way

[benjaminsmith]

Being an artist is a balancing act to make fans happy, make sure your marketable, and doing what you love.

[akademischungebildet]

Sam with eyeliner and eye shadow. This can't get better. Totally excited.

[xKarizzmaHD]

Josh's vocals on Sylosis is so needed in this band. If his voice somehow made it into more songs and more heavy, this band would be so SO good!

[CavMcDermott]

Let Josh do more backing vocals hes so sick

[PepegaPotato]

Die hard fans should understand that nothing can stay the same forever, I absolutely LOVE this new sound and that was an amazing song that will get stuck in my head for sure, because that's what Architects do . Can't wait for more !!
