[donalkennedy]

Sam's vocals on "GATES OF HEAVEN" ... Earth shattering.

[jacobharris]

My favorite part is the end, that repeated "they trade their hearts if they were made of gold" but then he says "but their as worthless as the souls they've sold" and an instant atmospheric fade out, forcing you to think about those last lyrics as the next song is coming up. So fucking epic

[wessteyrn]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how he screams "Blackwater at the gates of heaven?"

[evandrury]

you know it's good when he screams "I found God clutching a razor blade..." and it's 95 degrees out but yet you still get chills.

[Amy_K]

His lows on the line "Blackwater at the gates of Heaven" are insane. Hoping to see this one live.

[forwardport]

The best and most hard hitting part, 1:20

I found God clutching a razor blade

He said "Look at the fucking mess they've made

They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold."

[CharlieViking]

In case this is your first time hearing this album, I'll get the obvious out of the way.

These crazy motherfuckers ACTUALLY fucking topped LF//LT. Thank you, Architects. Album gets 9 BLEGHS! out of 10.

[paulkerr]

The image of God himself trying to kill himself because of the greed and lack of morals of his proudest creation is almost as heavy as the song.

[Squareenix]

Fantastic way to open the album, punches you in the face and demands your attention. Love it.

[Jonaslarsenmusic]

I found God clutching a razor blade.
He said, "Look at the fucking mess they've made.
They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold,
But they're as worthless as the souls they sold." I imagine Tom with a shadow telling him those words. I began to cry when i heard this song...

[RuRoy]

You know you are going to get crowdkilled when this shit hits.

[robbieredrum]

This whole album is full of intense lyrics and badass riffs. On repeat for the 1000th time.

[belabranca]

probably the best album opening track ever made, I remember when this album came out, I pressed play and suddenly this song hits me with such strength and power, I wasn't even ready for it, whatever it was

[anthonyderosa]

Some of the most powerful lyrics ever written. People who dont comprehend our choice of music. "It all sounds like screaming it doesnt make sense and i cant understand them"....

Read the lyrics

LYRICS

We are beggars
We are so fucking weak
And once upon a time we had the world at our feet
Well, we're all dying to meet our maker
But all our Gods have abandoned us

All our Gods have abandoned us

This is the great esoteric depression
We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation
We are all the shades of misery
The reigning champions of tragedy
They use their faith as a weapon
They count our sins by the seven
Blackwater at the gates of heaven

All hail the corporatocracy
The word of God written in binary
All hail our apostasy
The dying notes in an unholy symphony

All our Gods have abandoned us

This is the great esoteric depression
We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation

I found God clutching a razor blade
He said "look at the fucking mess they've made
They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold"

We are beggars
We are so fucking weak
And once upon a time we had the world at our feet
Well, we're all dying to meet our maker
But all our Gods have abandoned us

All our Gods have abandoned us

All our Gods have abandoned us

I found God clutching a razor blade
He said look at the fucking mess they've made
They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold
But they're as worthless as the souls they sold

[AdamArtz]

We are beggars.
We are so fucking weak.
And once upon a time we had the world at our feet.
Well we're all dying to meet our maker,
But all our Gods have abandoned us!

All our Gods have abandoned us!

This is the great esoteric depression.
We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation.

We are all the shades of misery.
The reigning champions of tragedy.
They use their faith as a weapon, they count our sins by the seven.
Blackwater at the gates of heaven.

All hail the corporatocracy.
The word of God written in binary.
All hail our apostasy,
The dying notes in an unholy symphony.

Blegh!

All our Gods have abandoned us!
This is the great esoteric depression.
We sold our souls but couldn't buy salvation.

I found God clutching a razor blade.
He said: "Look at the fucking mess they've made.
They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold."

We are beggars.
We are so fucking weak.
And once upon a time we had the world at our feet.
Well we're all dying to meet our maker,
But all our Gods have abandoned us.

All our Gods have abandoned us!

All our Gods have abandoned us!

I found God clutching a razor blade.
He said: "Look at the fucking mess they've made.
They'd trade their hearts if they were made of gold,
But they're as worthless as the souls they sold."

BUT ALL OUR GODS HAVE ABANDONED US!!
*Diddle diddle diddle diddle shugga shugga shugga shugga*

[samuelyurchak]

I swear I get chills every single time he screams “I FOUND GOD CLUTCHING A RAZOR BLADE”

[christianhackl]

One of their best songs ever, Plus one of the best lyrics they ever wrote! Imo

[vader]

this has got to be one of the greatest album openers i've ever heard... RIP Tom, you put it all into this album
