Royal beggars, royal beggars
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Live forever, 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, bitter lovers
Let go, let go, let go, 'cos it's
Now or never, 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
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
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
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
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
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

I like that you sit and listen to the music instead of unnecessarily headbanging like a lot of people do to try and get more views. Good, honest reaction and review. You da man Ruben.

[@abuventertainment2856]

I dont see how headbanging can get you more views. Most architects songs are hard to not headbang to

[@whatisahandleplz]

@@abuventertainment2856 well think about it, some people would maybe watch this and think "ah he's not enjoying it I'll watch someone else's reaction" and find someone that does move about, and most of them do exaggerate, it's not a reaction if your acting.

[@TheMaster4999]

Good point.This way your are focusing on all elements.People tend to focusing on less when they are just headbanging.He just stood there closing his eyes and proccesing all the elements of the song.

[@pawelsjogard617]

Gotta love Architects. The song is different yes, but all depends on song placement on the new album as well. The album has to flow and this song might be a good bridge between two songs. :)

[@idrinkmilk282]

i predict it as somewhere around track 6 or 7, as a nice change of pace for the album. a slower song, but that by no means takes away from how fucking beautiful and emotional it is.

[@drkstrnd]

@@idrinkmilk282 there already is a list of the songs I thought?

[@idrinkmilk282]

2 years later, holy hell is still one of the best modern metalcore albums of all time

[@aragorn69824]

So true. I thought of Linkin Park too when I heard that song. They have lots of similarities. I really enjoyed your reaction!

[@fm-rd4kb]

Mybe u should listen to the 'From Ashes to New' band. They hv mny similarities with Linkin Park

[@matt_core]

LOL. Love your reaction at the beginning of the main riff....haahahahahaah

[@themetalandrocksanctuary9070]

Awesome band the lyrics are amazing and you rock

[@MegaSilverstein]

Good vocalist!

[@tristanjanssen5816]

Leuke review man, en zeker wel een lekker nummer. Luister en nou al een paar dagen nonstop naar

[@dirkdiggler9478]

Your quick with this one Ruben, spot on again with the review and I think this album will be a must buy 🤘

[@Marin_Huron]

After the first time I heard the song I thought that the first two times the cleans transition to harsh vocals the guitars come a bit too heavy and discordant, not to mention that the harsh themselves seemed a bit reserved. Some days later I am starting to like the heavy slam of the guitars after the cleans but then the chorus comes a bit off. The ending is still the best part of the song - it just comes so naturally and fittingly: clears - spot on, transition - flawless, harsh - to die for. Instrumentally it was on the level they always are and I always love some ambience added to the songs.

[@clemlowes9417]

Look forward to your prog Saturday editions. Rush,Rush and more Rush. Thanks!

Katatonia - My Twin

[@lorenzomolino1513]

That was epic! Really enjoyed it! I suggest you the song The Closest I've Come by the band Earthside, it's an 8 minutes instrumental very emotional for me, I'm sure you will like it ;)

[@RyanREAX]

check out MERCENARY - LOST REALITY

[@mauriciozavaleta1223]

I thought the same with LP and said that's what's Chester will sound like if he has have a technical growling

[@lolrumbuutu]

I would love to see you react to some/all of the following three songs. Since you are one of the "smaller" and more honest Reaction-Channels, I think there's a better chance of actually reaching you personally. Far From Earth - Apathy Currents - The Place I Feel Safest Tasters - The Privilege Thank you alot and greetings from Germany!

[@richcanizales6530]

Rubén, listen to Mexican Prog Metal band AGORA song Renacer

[@richcanizales6530]

Also the song Hombre Máquina is one or their heaviest songs

[@mathphew]

Man, it's time for some more JOLLY! Newly released track Lazarus (Space Masala) is EPIC! I never took notice of Architects,but this one sounds cool ,cheers!

[@maoraharon21]

I love this song but I think that the breakdown at the end was forced

[@drkstrnd]

Finally someone pointed that out... I also think that one was unnecessary

[@idrinkmilk282]

@@drkstrnd I don’t mind that it’s there, doesn’t ruin the song for me, but I do agree that it’s a little unnecessary given the amazing ending the song already has

[@markblaauw4961]

Nice, but not as impressive as the previous. Please react to Persefone: Inner fullness.

[@mauriciozavaleta1223]

Or the majestic of Gaia

[@markblaauw4961]

@@mauriciozavaleta1223 that one is absolutely killer too.

[@ttmusicchannel013]

It is even more impressive than the previous one for me. Because it shows that he can still sing clean notes. I guess thats subjective.

[@markblaauw4961]

@@ttmusicchannel013 you're absolutely right that it's subjective. I'm more metal core and technical death metal fan, you see? No problem, no offence 😉

[@ttmusicchannel013]

Exactly. Thats how all internet conversations should go down :)
