Lyrics
Do you cross your heart when you hope to die?
Are you sleeping deep in the hurricane?
IVs in the arm
Forgetting to feel
We’re crawling on all fours
Will you fall on that sword at the second coming?
You’re gonna taste the ash and dust
‘Cause this world is dying in our arms
Now the wheels are turning
What would you do to stay alive
If the planet was burning?
You wanna make your hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
Sure sounds like heaven to me
You’ve gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we don’t believe
Good lord, it’s enough to plague a saint
Give us a Judas steer we can deify
Yeah, we all pretend we’re the renegades
So wash us away
Garroted by a halo
Take a bow
‘Cause time’s running out
There’s no doubt that the end is coming
You’re gonna taste the ash
You’re gonna taste the dust
‘Cause this world is dying in our arms
Post love
Post truth
Justice lays bound and black bagged
Ready for the guillotine
We can all plead guilty when they ask
‘Where were you when the Gods clipped the wings of the Phoenix?’
They clipped the wings of the Phoenix
When will we wrestle the world from the fools and their gold
And their fucking covenant?
We’ll be waiting
Will enough be enough when we’re holding on for dear life?

Architects is my favorite band ever but this song is fucking trash! Vocals have weird effects, lyrics are trash, breakdown is generic. I can write a better breakdown with my little toe and a midi keyboard with 2 keys. If you think this is Architects then you have never listened to their previous albums or seen them live.

Then out of nowhere the Libertine appears preaching An Ordinary Extinction about Flight Without Feathers to the living butterflies mourning their fallen kin. The butterflies stricken with Impermanence gasped as they realized they developed Black Lungs from the meteor and accepted that Dying is Absolutely Safe.

I agree I feel the same. This guys have always been doing great music in my opinion, they keep their hardcore tone and breakdowns and stuff while also putting the passionate vocals in there and still sound different. They deserve a lot

[@JohnDarksoul69]

I agree. I have never not liked an album released by them. Some fans would rather have them releasing the same old shit again and again... I'm glad they don't give a shit about those idiots and just keep evolving and doing what they want to do

[@joeynac]

i think part of it is an ambience feeling or atmosphere they had in the older days. Like in Broken Cross, there was that sense of feeling like you were in space or a celestial being. Maybe its just me, but it seems like that atmosphere feel is missing sometimes. Im not saying i dislike this by any means. In fact i love these 2 recent songs and cant wait for whats coming, but i do enjoy the atmosphere feels of older songs.

[@707morton]

I'm a huge fan of this band and have been for awhile and am a little scared of this album. I dont want to dislike it ughhh maybe Sam's vocal chords have had some damage done over years and tours? Fry vocals ain't easy on that muscle. Or maybe he just wants to change it up? I'm just not a huge fan of the first 2 releases

[@IAmMason21]

The only thing it’s missing is a blegh

[@silviasuarez1898]

Oh, I love this one. Sam's got like a thousand voices!!

[@deimos.93]

In an interview, Sam said that they started writing this album in Australia while the wild fires were going on, so listening to the lyrics with that context they make more sense. Edit: I also hate how people hate on the chorus, everyone has their own opinion but for me the chorus is probably the catchiest part of the song and the reason it hooked me like it did.
