Great job on this 👏

2024

As above, so below Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease As within, so without The seasons bring relief Let me live and die in peace I will be consumed, returned into the earth Only passing through, nothing left to hold on to Like the thaw against the snow, into the undertow Cut the chord and cast me out Cast me out It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for? The universe survives on give and take Death is an open door It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for? The universe survives on give and take Decay is the only law As above, so below Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease As within, so without The seasons bring relief Just let me live and die in peace It'll wear you down, through skin and bone It's as if my mind has a mind of it's own It'll wear you down, through skin and bone It's as if my mind has a mind of it's own When my heart skips two beats (I am hidden deep. Fast asleep) The sea will part, where oceans meet Finally complete It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for? The universe survives on give and take Death is an open door It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for? The universe survives on give and take Decay is the only law Swan song A declaration of endlessness I swear I will not look back, as I return into the black When the veil lifts, how will I know? How will I know? Will I see God? As above, so below Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease As within, so without The seasons bring relief Just let me live and die in peace

yay the clock the 13 not only ten and three are 13 ....... ;)

Amazing!!! Awesome!! Blessings!!!

I don't think another person will ever accomplish the vocal layering and harmonies that Ashe does on this album, it's literally masterful and honestly should be studied at music schools/universities.

Greatest djent track in existence right here.

This song has imprinted on my being so thoroughly that I can’t remember a single time over all these years it has sounded any less mind blowing than the original, first time I heard it. I believe I will die with this feeling, however many decades in the future that ends up being.

My dad passed early, just 50 years old. His birthday is 3 days after Tom's passing. This tribute frequents my KZbin around this time. I miss you, more than you know <3

#1 Fan here. This band is too underrated

Commenting again after a couple years: God, these lyrics are so profound and on point. It hurts. This song is a perfect pain to listen to.

"how can we dream? the nightmare the reality how do you sleep at night?" facing it, i just can sleep at night. day time slieep is what depression comes in.

Wear your sunscreen!!

0:07 a total eclipse :D

It so sad what happened 😭😭 life hard

This is so emotional

Unbelievable song. Absolutely amazing 👏 👏👏❤

It´s 2024... If Sybreed still gives you solace, please like this comment. We cannot let this amazing band to be left in the mists of memories...

Momento Mori is Toms song. The entire song is a clear representation of his pain, his fear, his hopes, his dreams, and his fact. His fate. Its so utterly beautiful it brings tears to my eyes all these years later. Tom was so creative and thoughtful when writing this song that he uses something as simple as silence, to represent his point of view. All instrumental rests, all the breakdowns, they all represent his state of mind fluctuating through out his last year or so of life. The lyrics arent what gets me the most, although they are heart wrenching. The part that gets me is that he makes US wait, like he had to wait, he forces US into his shoes. Forces US to wait, and see what happens next, and although what happens next IS different, its still the same. Its the samr thoughts. "Is your life worth dying for?". This was Toms way of asking all of us, if we died tonight, if we died in 10 minutes from now, when you looked back could you smile at the way you lived life? Would you be proud of your life and live it exactly the way you did before, over again? His musical manipulation to emotionally show us how he truely felt. What he really thought. Not seen or heard through metal colored glasses, but striaght from his heart, to the paper. The clock in the middle being to me, the most profound sound in the entire song. Because he uses it in the middle. When we KNOW therez more to come. And we KNOW its (the song) already started. He uses it to show us that you never know when. It could be tonight. Could be 50 years. But in the end death is an open door, and anyone could walk right through "will i see God?". Tom is asking if he will know when hes dead. If he will have that knowledge that he is no longer Tom Searle. Even the distorted noises at the beginning represent the uncomfortable, uncertain, annoying yet, natural state of mind he is in. He uses these sounds to represent the fact that he is uncomfortable. He is uncertain, and forces us to be uncomfortable, uncertain with him. He uses the lyric "The seasons bring relief" as a way of admitting to himself that he WILL die. That there is no hope for him to make it out alive. He uses the lyric "Its a promise that you can not break" as a way of telling himself that everyone will die. Its something everyone will go through eventually. And that you cant outrun death. You cant hide from it. You can only accept the fact that it is here, and it will take hold of you one day. This is also supported by the lyric "The universe survives on give and take" meaning that death is natural. One will die, and another born. Such is the condition of life. "As within, so without" Toms way of saying, "there is no help for what is inside of me" i have this sickness "within me" and the is no help with"outside" of me, much like inside because it will not go away on its own. "I will be consumed, returned to the earth" a play on words of "eaten up with cancer" the cancer will eat him, and when he dies, he becomes one with the cycle once more... this entire song is one of the most painful songs someone could possibly ever listen to if they know the story and sadness that lies within it. Much love Tom, you inspire me everyday. And you will always hold a special place in my heart as the truest, realest, most selfless person to walk this earth. You gave your very soul to your fans, you opened yourself up for all the world to fall in love with. And most people will never truely understand the way you did it. The way you kept your head up, and was so strong for so long. And refused to let something as simple as death, get in your way of creating something beautiful. You are a true artist. And you will never be forgotten. RIP Tom Searle.

Top 10 opening all time for me.

These are brighter days for sure

Beautiful

They predicted in these songs the times starting from 2020. Prophets of the future.

The best. It fits perfectly in times like these. Eternal!

Lonely be come activity inhuman rempacage

❤24 I'm still at the edge

❤

Rest easy tom.

Such an underated band. This whole album is fire

THIS IS THE AWAKENING!

I love you Heather.

Disgustingly underrated to this day. It's sickening tbh.

Truly touched my soul

Beautiful work, and yes I thoroughly agree with your description. They are a brilliant band.

"Coexistence" Good Bad an Ugly are in our midst The Bad and Ugly to be dismissed To be one kissed never raise a fist We exist to give mankind an assist Time to insist that we all coexist

NO RISE WITHOUT FALL I suddenly recognize the definition of rise is like.. Wake up from the ground/low place 😅 btw im 19 yo still learn how things works, thanks greeting from japan 🤘

2023 😔

Very meaningful song to me. Ive been writing a sci fi story since highschool. And this helped me write my characters death. Because yes i wrote myself in as a supporting role. But i go out in a last stand sacrificing myself so others could see another day (my character dies many times but comes back many times) in my story i have this realm called the crossover. Where yoy can literally cross over to different universes. So just because my characters dead dosent mean he is in other places. But me im the og. And i come back from death not from just being another version from a different universe

I only discovered Architects after Tom passed away. It's a bit strange to discover such incredible riffs and composition from a young man who's no longer with us. Also it's really sad to see how some of the "fans" have been so volatile and resentful toward the surviving members. Awful remarks like "Tom would be rolling in his grave if he saw what kind of music you were making".

I ain't gonna lie, when I'm here fried as fuck and listen to this, even when sober really, I just think about life and shit and how I'm about to leave everything to go live a quiet life off mountainside.

Pain. That is all.

Metal bands always have that one bald dude that looks like he works in a games workshop

1:56 I get the CHILLS after that scream and then the RIFF right after… and that WAILING guitar throughout the song. My favorite Architects song.

Great work, what program do you use to make your vids, if I may ask?

That was insane 🤯
