I am a ghost, but only if you remember
So save your prayers and promises for something better
My hands are tied
Stuck in this room forever
I scream, but only echoes care to answer
We waged our war but failed to find our hope
We made our world, but lost our way back home
Will we fight through the storm
Or stay forever more
The Prisoners of war
Am I the Prisoner?
I sold my soul
And traded my wings for glory
But when I close my eyes I hear the angels sing to me
I hear the angels sing to me
We waged our war but failed to find our hope
We made our world, but lost our way back home
Will we fight through the storm
Or stay forever more
The Prisoners of war
Am I the Prisoner?
We live to exist
But are we alive?
We can't run away
How will we survive?
I'm losing my grip
I can't wait to die
This time i’ll learn from all I've done
And find myself behind the sun
We have to die
To feel like we're alive
I am a ghost
But only if you remember

[@daizhaeliejohnson3228]

not talking about sex not talking about drugs not talking about money but instead talking about the world Who ever denies this band deserves to sit in a corner

[@ItsZifx]

And people will still automatically call it devil music.

[@daizhaeliejohnson3228]

Exactly ...instead of listening to just the screaming why don't PPL actually listen and understand instead of jumping to conclusions Just pisses me off

[@IAmHollow]

+Daizha Elie Johnson they're one of the biggest bands in metalcore, how are they underrated?

[@daizhaeliejohnson3228]

+Hollow well tht makes so much more sense 🙌🙌 I got so pissed for awhile thnx

[@LordB0NER]

They're no where near underrated.

[@AgonyVII]

It's crazy to see how they have progressed through the years!

[@prodigaltone]

Yeah! They've gotten worse!

[@xJMxStuns]

Agony wtf, you like CTE, if only you were going to the concert with me on Friday as in a date

[@haandyy]

OMG!! you like metal? that's sick and BTW I love your content :) +FaZe Agony

[@MrCJduo]

Damn Agony didn't know you listened to metal

[@undeadnightmare__]

Dude FaZe Agony Your badass :D

[@ninjablackgoo]

I'm glad Dave is doing some cleans.

[@chloedupras8522]

They're so good I love it their voices mesh well together with both of them doing cleans

[@isinfullycx2712]

+Chloe Dupras yea :D

[@incarser101]

if only Andy screamed cause you hear Dave scream on 1 song you pretty much heard it on every song just too consistent and yes it can be a bad thing after awhile

[@misukiylambertson2764]

+incarser101 If you hear him live he has like 7 different scream sounds xD but I get what you mean. Also Andy screams on fallout and machines

[@incarser101]

***** oh I've heard him live he's an excellent screamer one of the craziest highs I've ever heard was Dave live but recording wise sounds the same since the fallout

[@savannaestein4014]

With every music video they somehow get more attractive.

[@viciousoz4188]

Except in the beginning where Dave says the first line.

[@savannaestein4014]

+Joshua mejia I respectfully disagree he is always beautiful.

[@reneegberry5897]

+Savanna Estein When I saw him in concert, he was absolutely beautiful.

[@savannaestein4014]

+Renee Gberry They are all absolutely beautiful. XD

[@smosherrjmd]

ikr!!! 😍😍😍

[@GhostKillerEntertainment]

I'm prisoner of this Empire and it's worth it

[@Emmanuel32_99]

+Ghost Killer Entertainment Of course it's worth it

[@FairyCRat]

+Ghost Killer Entertainment I'm literally seeing you under every music video I watch.

[@Emmanuel32_99]

+MushyTheCraft yeh, dont you know his channel? great music in there.

[@FairyCRat]

Jeronimo Micucci Yup, I find great pop covers on it.

[@justde7on65]

+GiovanniWisco They're stating that they like the band i dont think they meant it literally

[@zeek3663]

Comments from 5 years ago but damn I'm consistently listening to this every year i wonder who else is here doing the same

[@Mfiore588]

Haven’t listened to them in years. Saw them in 2017 :( time flies

[@rayventhereaper8653]

*causally drinking water* *sees notification for new CTE song/music video* *chokes. gags. screams.* *shuts out entire world for entire video* *accepts that CTE has made yet another masterpiece*

Just browsing through the comments and found you

[@rayventhereaper8653]

How o.o

[@mymindsimagination737]

Saaaaammmeeee

[@brookefab2601]

FUCK YES LITERALLY ME

[@Dodo_Dez]

ok

[@dleitzel]

I hate how everyone is hating soo much just because they're not as "heavy" as they used to be.. personally I fucking love this song!!

[@krapiak]

bro what this is when they were at peak heaviness 💀

[@TheLazyPeon]

I like it! the drums sound tasty

[@EvKdude]

+TheLazyPeon Peon :D

[@viciousoz4188]

Lol. tasty

[@natebassili2143]

I think the drums might be the best part of this song

[@codyresop9948]

+Andrew Blair you kidding me if you listened to crown the empire from when they first came out you would know this is just another style they are perfecting

[@kutterswindell5261]

TheLazyPeon!!! Glad you have a good taste in music. C;

[@Nyeusi]

I dont care what people say, this bands concept and theme is just too awesome. It's different than most and it doesnt have to be the heaviest thing ever. We get a great balance with the melodic cleans and aggressive screams. This band has always stuck to their roots, but they are showing diversity a little different in each album. ROTR is honestly their best album and this deluxe will get me even more excited for their next album.

[@ctp10599]

Something about the chorus medley makes me absolutely love this song.

[@lalboihangsing1187]

Those golden years... ❤

[@emberwildflower]

When will people learn that music doesn't have to be incredibly heavy to be good? And for fuck's sake, this is one damn song. It doesn't mean they're completely changing their sound. People need to stop complaining about the reissue, too. I think it's a really good idea, especially for the new fans of CTE. They've also said they are more than half way done their new album. I think this song is fantastic. It's a perfect continuation of the story, and it has a great message, too.

[@saitamapunch6460]

TheBlindingLite what do you think about them changing their music now?😂

[@RobloxGamingCallum]

this is really good. they never disappoint.

[@Salemaher46]

This music video has a orginal director's version, with a NORMAL colour filter, but RISE rec. delete then from Vimeo. It's so sad

[@Oldylocks]

Fan boying so damn hard. Felt like only yesterday they release the Runaways

[@notveryeffective1]

Very true. I feel the same way as I did when initiation first came out. Just jumping around in my seat

[@crossedskies4555]

2024 still bumping it

[@TheShadowSoulja]

This is why CTE is my favorite band. Always trying out new things and somehow making it work.

[@bobaberrymilk_]

This song gives me all the feels I love it so much I'm so proud of you guys can't wait for the album to come out forever a runway

[@Tiredrunaway]

These guys have come a long way. All of them. I’ve been here since they first got together and grew along side them throughout the years❤️

[@TheOnlyRepz]

The girl in the Ice box remind me of Asking Alexandria!

[@kailanapechtel9358]

Omg. So glad they released another song!!!! Sounds amazing!!

[@jobmaciel1822]

Esta canción es tan bella tanto en letra como en sonido *-* la batería suena hermosa. Amo esta banda con toda mi alma.

[@jojomice]

Dave has such a lovely voice. His and Andy's voice go smoothly!

[@jacobperreault7102]

I love how you guys are always able to do something really different and still sound so good!

[@vansacoustic]

This should be available in Canada because I can not stop listening to this 😍

[@emilymaxfield8726]

Yes! They're so good and going to warped tour this year!

[@sallymontoya1304]

It's so beautiful that it makes me want to cry! Thank you Crown The Empire. And I'm so happy that David is singing more

[@prophetprod.166]

They put so much emotion into these songs only to show that there is light at the end of the tunnel for people who don't think there is. Well done.

[@Rascal210]

this is so beautiful ^-^ proud of you guys

[@tsalikon4252]

DAVE IS SINGING, OH MY GOD, KILL ME, HE IS PERFECT

[@amparoalbarracin3609]

I'm in love with the idea of David having more solos in the new songs, he has such an amazing melodic voice

[@michrabanales4692]

the lyrics , videos , voices , EVERYTHING! It is very great. my favorite song of the album.

[@autumnrhodes6767]

just got home from school and i find this amazing song from my favorite band c: ? omg its so amazing !!!

[@Freshlygrazed]

Holy shit! I stumbled upon this band and I'm blown away!

[@undefinedshadows1829]

The distance the have came is incredible is really amazing. I wasn't expecting something like this from them but its really good. Tbh the song is addicting.

[@Alexrox1411]

This video is great! I'm really digging their stuff, especially Dave's vocals.

[@yvonnefristed3248]

I love crown the empire they are bad ass! And I'm obsessed with this song rn! ❤️😍

[@Bloodsucker123ful]

Risked getting my phone taken away in class when I saw the notification for this baby

[@GeorgeThoughts]

Keep coming back to this! Great song and awesome video.

[@sjmcgrane]

Absolutely love it! Really looking forward to the deluxe reissue.

[@VictoriaHatzson]

This is so CTE, at their last album i got to realize that they try to make their own mark is this type of music with mixing sounds, putting clean and dirty vocals together and you can never tell what they're gonna come up with exactly, i remind you that songs like Bloodline and Millenia are in the same album of the same band so don't try to imminently react to the sound of a band when you haven't seen the whole thing. This could be their heaviest album so far and this specifically their softer song and you wouldn't even know before you have listened to the whole thing. Get a full perspective before you judge, they're still a great and unique band after all.

[@voulibairami2446]

Amazing song!!!!WELL DONE GUYS! You are incredible! Love you so much

[@yunhossmile6387]

I just became an even more Crown The Empire fan....like no even lying this song and "Cross Our Bones" are such good songs Omfg I love you guys

[@destinyrodriguez4819]

OMG!!! Crown the Empire are epic!!! I'm in love with there songs. So much meaning, its just amazing.

[@Synfaxed]

So much better than "Watch me Whip" song.

[@nickfaceless3641]

+Synfaxed I couldn't agree more XD

[@leonardius008]

all of us are agree with that

[@seven1622]

Disagree

[@DarkGodJames]

+Synfaxed What "Watch Me Whip" has to do with CTE?

[@DarkGodJames]

Well, at least the song isn't about bitches and money

[@Nehway]

Warning: This is my opinion. If you dislike, goodbye. I'm only giving this song an 8/10. 7 at least. I feel like CTE overloads on songs about post apocalyptic scenes and wars and such, that I have yet to find more than like, 2 songs that pierce straight into my heart. Makeshift Chemistry, relatable. Lead Me Out of the Dark, relatable. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED their last two albums. I just..idk. I'd like to see them try something a little different. If not, that's okay. They still make good music regardless.

[@svetlanaahnna3103]

nehway I think we can all relate to their music a bit more today lol.

[@Nehway]

​@@svetlanaahnna3103 Deadass. I retract my statement

Really reminds me of 30 seconds a mars, just an opinion tho. This album could be something, waiting for the next single :c

[@rodrigomartinez7115]

It's a song from a deluxe version of The Resistance, it isn't from a new album

[@atka0076]

+skizzlejamp Yeah i had little 30second flashes too, maybe the way Andy sings here is kinda similar to Leto's.

[@maverickyt1197]

Well, we know Brent has the epic drummer faces now

It's when Andy comes in, I get a Red feeling from it.

They never disappoint. Crown is and always will be my favorite band.

[@giovannisdesigns]

This sounds post-hardcore more than metalcore but I like the change although I think David should have more parts in their songs. He feels more like a guest artist on here.

[@214cena]

He's about half and half on the song. He's doing cleans ask screams so it could be easy to mistake some of his parts for Andy singing

[@bluesmiles5]

I agree 100% tbh. Nothing wrong with going post-hardcore and I love Dave's voice
