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

sam's voice is unbeliavable, even live

[@LiamJD182]

Greatest metal vocalist of this generation.

[@xcali259]

theres barely any difference from the studio version

[@dmitria8]

Well, this live sounds too good. Probably it was rerecorded, but there is nothing wrong with that.

[@LiamJD182]

Dmitri Arekhta Nope, I’ve seen them live twice. Sam genuinely sounds this good live, it’s ridiculous.

@@Wilson84KS Tbf I got into BMTH through that concert and was curious about the new album but got hella disappointed. Yet I doubt that the same would happen to Architects

[@Wilson84KS]

But they was good before, their lyrics and all, loved the show in RAH, but after that they are MTV quality in every aspect. I doubt Architects would go there, it's pretty much the opposite of what they tell all the time in their lyrics, I would be kinda disapointed.

[@GLSkills]

I don't know whats better, Sam's vocals or the camerawork? Phenomenal

[@brodo934]

Both is good :3

[@grungefather9104]

[@stupidstuff2941]

This is live performance????? Holly fuc*ing hell Sam's vocals are getting better and better, hes just not fair

[@Wilson84KS]

I think this happens just because he sings what he thinks, true emotions, true voice.

[@Mi_Ke27]

I have seen them 4 times now and if they announced another tour, visiting Hamburg, I'd instantaneously buy a ticket. Berlin would also be fine with me. Architects and Parkway Drive are incredible live!

[@OMGwtgfhgg]

He doesn't hit the high note in any of the choruses, instead let's the crowd sing it, but fuck me I'm still incredibly impressed

[@zinflaneur]

@@OMGwtgfhgg honestly, every single section in this song is high enough to make it extremely difficult to sing complete but damn, the only word that sam clearly didn't sing on purpose was the high "pay" during the chorus. i've seen him doing choruses an octave lower (holy hell, for example) and yeah its a little bit dissapointing but we can all agree that if he didn't, most of his performances wouldn't be as good as they are

[@Amazistringsmusic]

@@zinflaneur I saw them live in Amsterdam and he did the high note once in the song. He nailed it. It's also very understandable. The man is out there every night, I wouldn't be able to sing or talk for a week straight if I'd perform like he did (And i'm a metal vocalist as well). He has to save his voice from breaking thus it's not strange he does that.

[@zinflaneur]

@@Amazistringsmusic i think my comment might have been missunderstood he is obviously capable of reaching the note and even go higher but the way he performs nowadays (which, by the way, is way over the 100% performing capability of most metal vocalists) also shows how much care he takes of his voice im from south america so my time to see them live is yet to come
