Lyrics:
Remember when hell had frozen over?
The cold still burns underneath my skin
The water is rising all around me
And there is nothing left I can give
All these tears I've shed
I saw the wildfire spread
You said you cheated death
But heaven was in my head
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
Its like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
It's like a brand new doomsday
The embers still glow when I’m sober
The gold in the flame burns brighter now
I have to rebuild now it's over
Maybe now I’m lost I can live
Souls don’t break they bend
But I sometimes forget
I have to do this for you
And the only way out is through
Death is an open door
Words the prophets said
Still swimming through my head
Now theres no stars left in the sky
'Cos this well will never run dry
What if I completely forget?
What if I never accept?
'Cos when you fade away
Its like a brand new doomsday
They say the good die young
No use in saying what is done is done
'Cos its not enough
And when the night gives way
It's like a brand new doomsday
What will be will be
Every river flows into the sea
But it's never enough
And when the night gives way
It's like like a brand new doomsday
No matter what they say
Its like a brand new doomsday

[@Jamesbeckwith1]

It was a privilege to work with you on this track. My condolences once again, and a beautiful tribute.

[@matteogorini1591]

Really nice arrangement

[@nils-ph3zs]

nice track, respect

[@jamesbeckwith9364]

Thanks! Was a wonderful project to work on

[@Rudeboyzed]

@@jamesbeckwith9364 I'm still in love with your playing. I took the time to learn this arrangement and damn man.

[@heatherlindler4408]

Beautiful

[@psychosunshine9773]

It's like the original was all of the anger and frustration that comes with loss, and this version is all of the sadness and acceptance of the tragic loss. Simply beautiful.

[@Kruscle]

Old comment I know, but I love this perspective

[@michaelcorrigan6577]

Well said.

[@mannyblackstar]

This version sucks ass.

[@amberwoods5724]

I lost my fiancé a month ago. This was the first song I listened to after his passing. Music was so important and freeing to him. There was rarely a time when we weren’t listening to music or had it playing in the background. I couldn’t listen to anything for almost 2 1/2 weeks as everything reminded me of him in some way. I introduced him to Architects shortly after we started dating. I knew if I could get through this song, I’d be able to enjoy music again the way I did when he was alive. It’s a work in progress. I miss him everyday.❤️

[@montserrataravena62]

Amber Woods same for me. A year ago my fiancé passed away and this song gets me every single time

[@Resifreak90]

I truly hope your scars will heal at least in some way and I am deeply sorry for your loss

[@madmanau8730]

Reading this a year later. I hope you're recovering well and music is still cathartic for you.

[@amberwoods5724]

Thank you for the kind words. I still think of him everyday and remain close with his family. Well, they are my family now. I still can’t listen to certain artists or songs, but I’ve made progress.❤️

[@S.C.Dorfman]

I'm so sorry dearie. It's so hard when you lose someone close to your heart.

[@ivanajaneva]

I think there should be more songs covered with piano, like Gravity, Gone with the wind, A match made in heaven... Because this is pure art, this is awesome 😍

[@sebastien_8578]

Ivana Janeva ... and Distant Blue.

[@Clpgsr2198]

you should check out the channel BEpiano he covers alot of their songs on Piano. It's missing the vocals but its still pretty beautiful ^^

[@ivanajaneva]

Sébastien B yeah, for sure 😊 and many others would sound great

[@ivanajaneva]

Julian Händeler I knew, I love the covers, but I thought the band doing a sort of that, with Sam's voice that's a whole new level 😍

[@Clpgsr2198]

Ivana Janeva yeah i totally agree that this is on a whole different level but i just tried to put your desire to ease since i dont think they release many more piano covers in the near future :D

[@sergiogomez8073]

I think I just got to the point that it is impossible for me to hate or dislike a song this band releases. I feel so attached to these 5 guys that I don't care what direction they will take in their next album because I know I am going to love it. This band was the first one that taught me that music is not only about that, music, but also about the people that is behind of it. Thank you for existing, Architects. 🖤

[@aidanrooney95]

Sergio Gómez well said 💚

[@kurtisbray]

Sergio Gómez I relate to everything you just said

[@ClemensHerold]

thats exactly what i thought for months before getting the album cpver of LF/LT tattooed on my fprearm this week. For Tom, forever!

[@psych0tix421]

If they make the next album all piano I honestly wouldn't care I'd listen to it just as much as I have with the new BFMV or Parkway albums

[@samirgolchha]

what if they become christian k-pop band?

[@JasonGuitarHand]

I'm speechless... even after everything that's happened, they're still going strong. This piano reprise is just pure art and it's so beautiful it feels fragile.

[@etiennegrizz1145]

This is how you see what they had to endure, their melodies can be played with anger to spit out the pain, or with sadness to let the bitterness out... I've got no words to describe their music 💙

[@gravedigger7299]

This made me cry. Hearing Sam's clear sounds is like touching a heaven. Literally he sings like angel and screams like demon. Thank you guys so so much, you rule!

[@itsonlyhugs9486]

Ola Ch He screams like an angel.

[@gravedigger7299]

Jerad Scharrer yeah, that's an unique skill only Sam is able to do 😅

[@itsonlyhugs9486]

Ola Ch Yep 😂

[@tusharrrrrr]

he is like chester bennington 2.0 !

[@FrostMonolith]

Sam's vocal range is very impressive, Royal Beggars made me an Architects Fan.

[@getthefunkoutmaface]

I WAS JUST EXPECTING THE PIANO AND THEN HE STARTED SINGING WHAT WHAT WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

[@markarmstrong5234]

getthefunkoutmaface same dude! Came for a nice instrumental and was hit with feels I didn’t wanna feel but feels that felt good! Great song

[@jaysherriff767]

He sounds a Lil like Chester from Linkin park in some parts

[@elginbelalla6601]

Same man, i cry every time i hear this now😭😭😭

[@caseyalexander1705]

I was sitting with my wife having a beer & thought a solid piano rendition was coming... soon as he started singing I stopped it and grabbed my headphones.

[@infiniter4in178]

This is art. This is beautiful. I still prefer the original because it feels more powerful but there is no need to hide behind anything for this version. R.i.P. Tom. Your legacy will never be forgotten💔

[@TraceofHatred]

I agree, I felt like they could have gone a bit harder on the vocals. I almost think it would've been a better that way since the soft instrumental slowly grows louder. Still a masterpiece though, I'm really glad they chose this song to turn acoustic.

[@shoumitroroy2545]

Go ahead, make a grown ass man cry. Thank you for everything, Architects. Thanks, Tom. You make me want to be a better human being and musician.

[@neoteric_heretic]

4 minutes of pure sadness, 4 minutes of true sorrow, 4 minutes of feeling shivers on my skin. Thank you x.

[@zachbeckwith459]

This is a perfect example of why music can be so powerful. The original version had me head banging and screaming at the top of my lungs. While this version made me sit back, relax and think about my life. Honestly never thought I'd hear Architects make a piano version of one of their songs but I'm so glad they decided to, they really are incredible musicians. On a side note, totally geeking out that the piano player and I have the same last name lol.

[@christinartnd]

Everything we didn’t know we needed. This is lovely 💕

[@Arci0]

Your cover of Doomsday is also amazing :)

[@MyLittleHecarim]

I LISTEN TO YOUR COVER OF DOOMSDAY CONSTANTLY I LOVE YOUR STUFF SO MUCH MUCH LOVE!

Big fan of u

[@Onus6688]

I bought your cover of this song! Love it

[@TruantReacts]

so stunning & beautiful

[@JohnSmith-nl7tj]

Legends never really die. RIP Tom but you live in us all forever.

[@RottingBeauty]

This came out 3 months after my mom passed. When she did I listen to the original version on repeat for a month straight. And this version is so beautiful and full of even more emotion that seriously captures the heart break they all went through and it's truly amazing what these guys do with there music 🖤

[@niceguygaming6982]

Sad to hear :( This song is heart breaking but for me its also heart warming, they touched many hearts. Remindes my of "tears in heaven" of eric clapton style.

[@bengal_tiger1984]

It's alright, pal.

[@theknifesedge57]

I just realized this was uploaded today. It was perfect timing. I had a close friend try to end it all today, (thankfully we called 911 and he's ok), but in that moment of time this song was what stopped me from losing it. I just felt scared. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Architects, and may your music live on forever.

[@vixconabhi]

My mother left us 2 months ago. This song has been on repeat ever since. This works both as a therapy and a reminder that she's still with me somewhere or the other. This song also highlights how vulnerable and helpless people are when someone close to them is leaving them in front of their eyes and they can do nothing to make them stay. Thank you, Architects, for this wonderful piece of music.

[@pseudoschnitzel3505]

The symbolic change from the solar eclipse in AOGHAU being a black hole in Doomsday is mind blowing

[@a_fellow_playabr8435]

Literally perfection

[@TehhSkye]

The original version of this is powerful and hits me hard every time I hear it, but this... this is the first song to make me shed a tear. Architects have the most beautiful balance of anger, pain and love in their music and I think this songs two versions justify that completely.

[@ZachJones420]

For the 1st time in over a decade...I'm left speechless....thank you..from the bottom of this darkness, thank you

[@mloyd64]

This released on the one year anniversary of my step fathers death at his own hand. This song helped me when it came out now it’s helping again. It’s wild because I was angry when he died and the original helped be get that aggression and pain out, now a year later this drops and it’s more slow melodic sound mirrors my acceptance in the last year. Truly amazing

[@piercemyafflictedhorizon]

🖤🖤🖤

[@roxytects]

i cried at 7:50am when the song came out and now i’m crying again at the video at 8:55am it’s too early i can’t handle this i love this band beyond words :,)

[@AtlasAvalon]

Had been missing this kind of stuff since Hollow Crown. God, how I used to listen to hollow crown on repeat - and I still do actually. The last part gets me everytime in that song.

[@a_fellow_playabr8435]

Favorite song on my favorite album lol kkjj

[@sicilianchiangchang7320]

I think was it must that well hopes often don't blafeigh. Or enough about. Best writing.

[@NinjaMedina22]

Wow. Everything about this is so amazing. The piano reprise is beautiful, Sam’s vocals sound so good, and the visuals are stunning. So happy they worked on this😍❤️

[@KIA-qh7cg]

This is beautiful but the original has so much more raw emotion and power imo

[@deanlangley4003]

This is so beautiful it will make a grown man cry, R.I.P. Tom 🤘🤘🤘

[@WhiteSlash_Guitars]

Damn this is so beautiful... "Metal is just noise, when you can't sing, you scream", well... Your argument is invalid haha

[@lalkaal]

Loool. "Lul i can't sing, so i'll scream!" *1 damaged throat later* "I can't scream...i'll rap!"

[@codyjewell1460]

You can take that quote and also argue that it is correct. Often in times of agony or anger you get choked up and the only thing you can produce is a scream, like in the movies when someone tragically loses a loved one. Sometimes you can't sing. All you can muster up is a scream. It IS just noise, but it conveys a raw emotion that few melodies could ever match.

[@sarcasm4371]

@@codyjewell1460 That's not what he's talking about. Screaming and metal screams are two completely different things. You'd think you know this being on an Architects video.

[@Solace19k]

Rest in peace Tom. The amount of clarity and courage it took to approach the hand you were dealt is warrior level.

[@AdamBarkleyMusic]

Hauntingly beautiful. It makes so much sense for Architects to do a softer version of this song

[@GimmeDopamine]

I don't listen to music that often anymore. Architects and The Devil Wears Prada are the two bands I always come back to. Thank you for this softer rendition of Doomsday. All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us is my favourite album of all time. I can't describe how amazing that album is; truly a work of art. Looking forward to your next album. RIP Tom

[@bernadettedb1545]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL WOW

[@samuelhayman6983]

I don't want this to be the last piece of music we ever get from Architects, but I feel like it might be and I don't know how to feel about that. This is beautiful regardless.

[@StavrosSideris]

i want to hug them and shake their hand for this excellent piece of work

[@bam_bam51]

The lyrics, the piano, Sam's voice, the black & white visuals... this is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.

[@snowandlightsmusic]

This is a very welcome suprise! It's such a perfect return after so many months of quiet at their end. The original wrapped up the anger we all felt losing tom into a song and this, now that a little time has passed, encompasses the delicate sadness that is left after the anger and shock has faded...

[@RService117]

I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING! This song is incredible.

[@chrizzlstizzl2187]

I am so stoked for a new album guys. You are really helping many people through a lot with your songs and finally after the release of Doomsday you get the attention you deserve. You are the best! Please keep going strong - for us, yourselfes and Tom ❤

Its awful seeing a parent figure deteriorate then pass away from cancer, if it wasnt for this lady i wouldn't have known what it was like to have a mother. I am forever grateful and i think about her every day. Hug your parents and hold them close while you can❤

[@benpowers8697]

"And when the Night gives way;it's like a brand new Doomsday" .sometimes sleep is the only escape from what haunts or afflicts us,and when we awake the nightmare or Doomsday continues.

[@AmarettoTheFurry]

After the passing of my friend in 2020, I was recommended to listen to both the original and this version. Both helped get my emotions out when I didn’t know how to express them. I love this band through and through.

[@FrostMonolith]

This is the kind of music you can feel their feelings real deep and connected.

[@Azrael2812]

although I understand that this song has a special meaning and importance to the band, I definitely agree that they have a couple more songs that would turn out amazing as a piano reprise. I'm definitely going to keep looking out for something like that because this was just fantastic.

[@Pepper_Jvck]

Last Wednesday morning, my friend Zhy was found dead in his car in front of a dollar store. It was confirmed to be a homicide. Witnesses say there was a shooting there and he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was only 18 years old. I was shocked when I heard the news. It hurt a lot and I couldn't believe it. But I had to move on with my day, since it was only the beginning of it. I listened to music when I did my work. I hit shuffle, and this was the song that played. When Sam sings "They say the good die young," it really hit me. The world had just lost one of the most thoughtful, caring, and trusting people. The world had lost one more good person too soon. He's gone.

[@joshuapleasant2933]

This is my new favorite song, I love it very much. Thanks Architects.

[@DnRxHarukawa]

Some of the greatest songs I find these days are bands re-imagining their own songs and for the most part improving on the original in the process. Absolutely love it.
