Lyrics

Royal beggars
Do you wanna live forever?
Alone.
Alone.
Alone.

‘Cos we’re broken
All hope is dead
But we’re coping
Somebody save our souls

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
‘Cos we’re asleep in a hurricane

Bitter lovers
Let go
‘Cos it’s now or never
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
‘Cos we’re choking
And left for dead
But we’re coping
Somebody save our souls

Are you listening?
You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds?
Or can you hold your focus?
It’s ourselves that we will betray

We sit on a throne waiting for god to bend the knee
But we’re nothing more than
Royal beggars

But I’m as guilty as the next man
Our eyes are open, but we’re not listening

The vocalist Sam has become is just stunning. There is no voice like him out there.

"Royal Beggars"

Royal beggars, royal beggars
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Live forever, live forever?
Alone, alone, alone

'Cos we're broken
All hope is dead
But we're coping
Somebody save our souls

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
'Cos we're asleep in a hurricane

Bitter lovers, bitter lovers
Let go, let go, let go, 'cos it's
Now or never, now or never
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in

'Cos we're choking
And left for dead
But we're coping
Somebody save our souls

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
'Cos we're asleep in a hurricane

Are you listening?
You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds?
Or can you hold your focus?
It's ourselves that we will betray

Are you listening?
You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds?
Or can you hold your focus?
It's ourselves that we will betray

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
'Cos we're asleep in a hurricane

We sit on a throne waiting for god to bend the knee
But we're nothing more than royal beggars

But I'm as guilty as the next man
Our eyes are open, but we're not listening

Architects : THE band that surely won't disappoint you in 2018.

[dreero_]

Sam has THE best voice of this generation of metal. You can't change my mind

[anditokusumawardana]

I used to listen to this song with my brother, we share the same emotion. this song really get in through our soul, touch our heart gently, always had a goosebumps.

Then my brother died this day, 1 month ago due to kidney failure. he'd fought for his life for almost 4 years. i lost my only brother, my best man everyday. it feels so hard to listen this song. it feels so wrong without my brother around. it takes a time to realize that he's free now, not like a bird in a cage. But i still overflowing with rage that i can never be enough for my brother. i ask everyday "why him?", blaming myself. But i guess "doomsday" answer me "they said the good die young". But i feel i can never accept that he's gone.
But i really grateful that i always stay by his side till his last breath, his hand really holds me tight until God took him away. I wish my brother satisfied with my loyalty all this time.



i appreciate whoever read this, thank you for your attention
i hope you have a lovely day <3

‘Cos we’re asleep in a hurricane''

So much raw emotions from his vocals!

[To]

Label: Sam, we'd like to hear your range
Sam: Hold my pint

[artvjon]

One of the best songs of the fucking year

[drkstrnd]

Upgrade:

Previous Level: *Blegh*
New Level: Blegh*

[hass]

2:06 onwards till the end is one of the most emotional pieces of music I've ever heard. Something about it. The vocals when he starts screaming/singing "Are you listening?"the second time, it's just perfect. Then the breakdown at the end, oof. So simple yet powerful.

Why the tears rolling down my face are so real?

Architects, is, really, a great band. Architects Family forever.

When Sam Carter said
"Our eyes are open
But we're not listening"

I felt that...

[aidanscovers]

“But I am as guilty as the next man, our eyes are open but we aren’t listening” this speaks so true to understanding how the world around you is and seeing who you are supposed to be but being too caught up just like everyone else made worse by the fact that you know

[elensar]

Parkway Drive: We are beyond metalcore.
Architects: Hold my blegh.

[davidk]

This is so powerful, it's amazing how they can convey such emotion, you can really feel it in Sams voice

[ejhull]

By far one of the best bands ever. You can feel the pain and emotion and love in every single one of their songs.
I wish I could show every human being on this planet that type of passion that Architects put into their music.

[sumitaich]

Every new Architects song seems their best one.

[offiziellerkanalvondoggen-]

This could be their most ambitious album to date, I'm so ready for this!!
