Architects - 'A Wasted Hymn' (Full Album Stream)

"A Wasted Hymn" by Architects from the album 'Holy Hell,' available now

Lyrics

Waiting for a sign
Washed up on the shoreline
I’ll always carry the cross
But all is not lost

I just can’t relate
A crack in the floodgate
Life comes at a cost
But all is not lost

Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy ghost
Nothing lasts forever

Now it’s time to sink or swim
I’ve got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy ghost
Nothing lasts forever

Taking back what’s mine
But it’s lost to the skyline
A bridge I cannot cross
But all is not lost

Now there’s no escape
God, what a sorry state
Love comes at a cost
But all is not lost

Can you feel the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?

[Luzifer]

All our gods have abandoned us made me realise I am depressed and lost. Drowning in rage anger and hate. I listened to it a thousand times to learn from it.
Holy Hell now on the other hand took all the pain and transformed it. I now want to stand tall and live life no matter the cost. No matter how much pain there is in existing. You healed my soul. Thank you Architects. It's a debt I can't repay.

[LeonStrifeVIII]

This song makes me feel that we reached the end of the line from a dark and cold road.. where you feel the cold feeling of loneliness. But in that moment of loss... you look beyond the horizon and you carry on to find true serenity.


I believe Tom would've been very proud of this album. Thank you Architects.

All Love Is Lost // But All Is Not Lost.

[CharlieViking]

Literally the best follow up to "All Our Gods..." they could have made. Best band in metalcore strikes again.

[RespiteofChampions]

SOMEONE HELP ME. I'VE LISTENED TO THIS ALBUM LIKE 20 TIMES NOW. I DON'T WANT TO STOP..

[MyoticTesseract]

Jesus Christ, this album is just absolutely perfect. One of the most beautiful metal albums I've ever heard.

Holy hell, _Holy Hell._ You did Tom Searle some goddamn justice.

[aceiroo]

Can you feel an empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?

[kylesmith]

This song still moves me to tears as if it weren't my 4, 385, 389, 272, 561, 423, 184th time hearing it...


...this week.

[Jitteryjitts]

"Significantly, the track weaves in a demo recording of Tom playing guitar - a touching posthumous performance.


"It’s just a throwaway piece of guitar for Tom but it just fitted so perfectly in that moment. It makes such a powerful outro on the record, " says Dan."

Fuck. This is such an emotional album.

[evermoonn]

the clean vocals took me back to the hollow crown/daybreaker era. chills throughout.

[alissonsousa]

And is this, a fucking masterpiece. Tom is proud ❤️ thanks guys, so much love from Brazil

[Jo]

Never before has a song moved me so hard. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words but right here, these words are worth a thousand pictures.

[malcolmk]

We're with you Dan.
We don't live your pain, but you've brought us to a point of empathy where we stand with you. With the whole band.


Long live Tom.
Long live Architects.
You've done him proud.
Long live Architects.

Nowadays when we talk about classic metal records, we list albums like Master of Puppets/justice or anything Black Sabbath or Judas Priest or Iron Maiden...well in the future, every Architects album will be apart of that list because Architects is the God of metalcore, hands down! I love this album so much and I know for certain that Tom would too!

[DavidJulianC]

All love is lost - Love comes at a cost, / But all is not lost.
It's like every 3rd verse or so there's a reference to Toms lyrics, it feels like he's still in the band, it's beautiful.

[lazurusknight]

The 'nothing lasts forever/nothing lost forever' evolution is amazing

[KyleDimetri]

Sometimes I think artists don't understand just how much their lyrics impacts us. This song legit made me cry. So beautiful. "Can you live a life worth dying for? "

[batoosebadoose]

I was just listening to this song and realized that by "phantom limb" Dan means Tom... I just felt the biggest chill i've felt in ages...

[cosmicmeteorshowers]

It’s been years since I discovered Architects, but their discography helped me reconcile with my mortality. I think about this song in particular, as I have a lot of pain and regret to carry on my back, the same as any other man. Sometimes, it’s almost too much to bear, and it feels like I’m drowning in it.

And yet, I still live. This song reminds me that I need to. I hope that beyond the veil of death, Tom knows that.
