Architects - "A Wasted Hymn" (Acoustic)

"A Wasted Hymn" (Acoustic) by Architects
Lyrics
Waiting for a sign
Washed up on the shoreline
I’ll always carry the cross
But all is not lost
I just can’t relate
A crack in the floodgate
Life comes at a cost
But all is not lost
Is this penance for my sins?
I gave everything for this phantom limb
Holy ghost
Nothing lasts forever
Now it’s time to sink or swim
I’ve got nothing except this wasted hymn
Holy ghost
Nothing lasts forever
Taking back what’s mine
But it’s lost to the skyline
A bridge I cannot cross
But all is not lost
Now there’s no escape
God, what a sorry state
Love comes at a cost
But all is not lost
Can you feel the empty space?
Can you feel the fire at the gates?
Can you live a life worth dying for?

[@foregas]

Screams like a devil, sings like an angel

[@TheRealUND1]

So true

[@antoniolongoni4032]

The falling angel

[@francois1048]

Reminds me of chester 💙 what a legend iconic man

[@davidralyea1879]

Edgy lmao

[@jackbaldwin2135]

foregas reminds me of Danni warsnop ! He’s like that!

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I'm no vocalist, so it always blows my mind that someone could have such an aggressive and powerful voice, while also having a beautiful and gentle side. Sam truly is a special vocalist

[@alexbaribeault]

Even the best vocalists are probably blown away by this tbh.

[@hotbutterypopcorn9652]

I have always been a fan of Sam Carter's voice, the aggressive and softer voice ie one of the best in the entire Metal/music community; the band is amazing also, the consistency of the quality of music and the way that they can keep going after Tom's passing should be the blueprint for how family/friendship/bandmates should function. Architects are almost at the top of the mountain for my personal preference and the only other vocalist/band(s) that I could put above them is Landon Tewers/The Plot In You, and to me if love could be measured then I'd have to say that Sam Carter (as a single individual) and Architects (as a complete group) are literally one small step below The Plot In You/Landon Tewers, the way that man can scream/cry/belt/Express raw emotion to then flip the formula on its head to his Blues style singing, acoustics, EDM/pop type music, hard rock/metal/hardcore & post and on and on...Sam Carter and Architects are easily resting closest to the very peak on the mountain of my go to metalcore bands just below TPIY/Landon Tewers. Absolutely amazing how much talent these bands posses nowadays. #RIPTOM

[@StavrosSideris]

He is using software to adjust some things but other than that he is pretty cool live

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

Stavros Sideris Yeah he did much better on the Doomsday Piano version. This is heavily edited from what I can tell, just doesn't sound natural at all :(

[@GergoHorvath]

Chester was also a true talent in singing both agressively and beautifully.

[@Aprilsreturn]

Architects never disappoints no matter what they do

[@jensh2353]

Cried on a concert of em because the speeches been too emotional for me :(

[@TheNOBODY2810]

Jens h that’s fine the whole point of going to an architects show is to let all your emotions out

[@iiimadmaniii]

They took years to grow. They started as any angry screamo lol when it was a brief thing in early 'oo's" i fuckin love em. Enter shikari went to brit pop shit tho. They had a good mid 00 run but neved, dont seem to have come out of it

[@lofiforlife4768]

That really sick like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqHXlKB-aL-fZq8

[@sweetschmeat7417]

How poorly this statement has aged.....

[@GABRIel-gp5xy]

I waiting for acoustic version album HOLY HELL

[@AussieDownUnder]

Would absolutely purchase

[@dommii91]

Especially The Seventh Circle could be interesting ;)

[@ibz11]

Dominic Peter I mean, Whitechapel did an acoustic version of End Of Flesh. I’m sure Architects could pull it off.

[@aidanbusby6307]

IM SO DOWN

[@adriansappington7971]

Gone With The Wind acoustic would be amazing too

[@TrTriTrippin]

holy shit yes.

[@infiniter4in178]

Dont make me cry

[@lennarttruthspeech]

Their friends in XCERTS kinda already did an amazing job in that

[@zoltanujvary770]

The Gone With the wind was the first song what i ever heard from Architects in 2016! Still my favorite!

[@imadetheworld1075]

That distant blue will be nice as well

[@Johnwearoutfit]

They are Architects, they should be building things, not breaking my heart with such beautiful songs.

[@frasermarino3403]

Their building love and character keep on going brother! They do the same to me

[@Loveofthesea]

и где-то подсознательно я слышу голос Ханни. Панацея навсегда в сердце.

[@bartekdebski1097]

Me too, love u.

[@ton4encento]

I get my heart destroyed every now and then by these acoustic/piano versions after already being destroyed by the original. I just love it

[@Arthen_]

It’s insane how much Sam has improved in his singing the past few years

[@BulletProofBacon]

Yeah pretty surprising since most vocalists get worn out and worse over time

[@teehundeart]

His cleans were just as good 10 years ago. Listen to some stuff before lost forever // lost together

[@bradwad]

@@teehundeart his cleans where best in hollow crown I always thought but his screams have deffo got better

[@occiferfigpucker4840]

All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us is their best album tho

[@BabyBatPlays]

ive always absolutely loved his clean vocals, he's clearly still working on them even tho he doesn't use it in architects nearly as much as they used too

[@michaelparis5204]

Sam's vocal range never ceases to amaze me

[@Galadhon]

Just beautiful, dont know what else to say.

[@Toblakai77]

Will gladly buy their whole back catalogue again at full price just for Acoustic versions like this, seriously fantastic

[@john7180]

I would like this whole album acustic

[@oceansatebrandon]

i would sell my soul for a holy hell acoustic album

[@wlfxy]

What soul

[@LightConcerts]

Goosebumps every time I listen

[@inaraja2000]

I second and also third this

[@EmilPiano]

love you🖤 Thanks to Architects i found piece of mind after losing my Father. And they give me strenght for the rest of my life.

[@RyanGray616]

Same here man. Holy Hell was actually released two days after the death of my father which makes it resonate with me even more

[@HighTower1025]

Ditto. I even quoted lyrics as part of my father’s eulogy.

[@Wrathrix]

This songs reminds me of my brother who I lost to cancer this year. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone else still dealing with loss.

[@_.Mercury._]

Pretty sure this song is about, or seems like he’s tryna give his life to his God but didn’t receive anything in return.

[@axelaragon7550]

Can we please get an acoustic cover for Modern Misery now?

[@thereignofdando]

Seconded!!

[@IainFrame]

MM has really grown on me. I found the start quite jarring (then again the first time I heard Nihilist I was out running and it felt like a panic attack with drums) but the chorus is stunning :-)

[@Songsar7Artski]

Yes! I really want an acoustic version of Modern Misery

[@barrybuechner2912]

Let's ask for the whole album acoustic! 😁

[@christ5504]

@@barrybuechner2912 that's what Ive wanted from the start!

[@anthonymonterosso7472]

To me, Architects has the most beautiful songs. Every one of their songs can hit you right in the feels and give you some major goosebumps. This is why Architects is my favorite and will always be my favorite band

[@Heinrich19]

This song touch in my soul and bring tears in my eyes. Architects is special band.

[@caitlinday1084]

Absolutely unreal. Beautiful beyond belief, Architects musical talents are never ending. My favourite band for good reason🖤

[@ziadjamal939]

Sam Carter the GOAT

[@TrackStriker]

[@DidiChandouidoui]

Perfect

[@mudvayne20056969]

Holy Hell I love Architects so goddamn much.

[@remivoissier]

I was NOT expecting that ! ... I loved it even more than I wanted it to be. Architects is just one of the best bands out there

[@justmatt3309]

3:33 it just me, or is it so haunting how he sings that?

[@HCmusink333]

Nope, I agree!

[@void2396..]

Found a new version to fall asleep to. Architects will never disappoint me

[@bokey7440]

THE SURREAL BEAUTY THIS SONG HOLDS! JUST FCKING LOVELY!

[@Byrondt]

report these dislikes for gods sake.. even if I was into trap or reggae music or idk greek traditional music I'd still like that song.. there's simply nothing to dislike here

[@inaraja2000]

Am I the only one crying and having goosebumps?? I don't know how can they get better at every song they compose; this is PURE art

[@tomwood5432]

Well.. here I go crying again. This album gets me every time

[@dylanparrott8347]

the dude can scream like a madman but here he can sing like a angel I'm down with more architects acoustics

[@mattbusby7984]

This is the content I live for. Architects can do no wrong in my eyes, absolute perfection. ✌️

[@robejeanlitao7354]

i will always be in love with Sam's voice (both clean or metal scream) 😍♥️

[@whtvrfrvr]

i hope they'll make a whole album like this. truly special

[@wrigglydogg6129]

Holy crap, so much talent in this band. Certain songs strike heart cords and others make you want to run head long into the storm.

[@iron_patriotmcoc6981]

This is just beautiful

[@cringelorddivine9337]

This made me tear up.

[@dugtheundead]

Discovered this band shortly after I lost someone about a year ago, now I almost listen to them everyday. Thanks for getting me through the rough days, sounds like your speaking directly to me at times, it's crazy how much I can relate.

[@user-lq1kh5uq5f]

Thanks you guys. Thanks for all. The seasons bring relief. The Architects bring peace.

[@moro11332]

I fkn love them so much, i hope they never change. This is so sad and so moving, and at the same time I just enjoy it so much. Music is so powerful

[@Th35Om1n]

I really love the way Metalcore Bands develop their music these days. Bands like Architects and Imminence are taking our beloved genre to an absolute new level. Its like Metalcore is developing to something new!

[@tellerx5487]

Just another piece of art ..

[@tiggerknowsbest6817]

I like to think of each little dot of light is a soul searching for a connection in the void. Our souls join, and only for brief moments truly find solace, a calmness among the omnipresent darkness. Even though the distance between each soul is unimaginably vast, love transcends dimensions.

[@reinderp5967]

So much feels from this

[@RespiteofChampions]

Why and HOW could they take an already beautiful song and make it even more beautiful??

[@laurencewhite6560]

They should release a soft acoustic album just for shits and giggles, top the charts, go platinum, get all the pop fans on their bandwagon, then pull the old bait and switch with their heaviest album yet

[@karlikot]

Sounda like what BMTH is doing rightnow. Its misleading but effective.

[@topkekindustries4604]

Don't need to be a pop fan to find this absolutely beautiful.

[@apfirdaus5065]

I See Stars already done the acoustic albums but its pretty ok-ish for me because the vocal its pretty much the same. But this, THIS? hell yeah its Christmas came early when it dropped...

[@mariuszkrzewinski2650]

I'm on my knees...so beautiful..

[@shaunp413]

I've been a huge advocate for saying Silverstein's acoustic music should be considered it's own genre, and I think Architects acoustic should also be considered it's own amazing genre of music, it sounds like nothing like any other acoustic songs I've heard before! So much passion and emotion.

[@Jacobtaylorabreu]

Beautiful. The original song saved me from a very dark time in my life, thank you Architects for saving me.

Can’t believe they played this acoustically live. Was absolutely perfection with dead butterflies, memento mori and this in that order. Literally the holy trinity of songs at this point by them. Was so beautiful

[@jayburriswayne5403]

Sam: “People have to be careful, because records like [The Beatles’] Sgt. Pepper won’t happen if you keep starving bands and saying, ‘You can’t do this.’ Or there’ll be backlashes. Like, when people say to Architects, ‘Don’t follow Bring Me,’ I think, ‘Fuck off!’ If people keep saying that, I’ll go to the woods and write an acoustic album and call it Architects.” Ya know Sam, I'm okay with that.
