Lyrics:
Forever betrayed, we stand at the edge,
Ourselves are to blame, there’s no turning back.
We buy into this madness; waste every resource and remain mindless.
We stand and watch the world decay. Living a lie as we’re wasting away.
There’s no measure of control, No concept of what we hold.
We’ve bled our future dry, and there’s no one else left to blame.
In this mindless paradigm,
We can only decline.
Our future’s being sold, by the hands of greed.
But what is the real cost?
Watch as we all collapse,
I tell you that we’ve lost our way,
Under the dying sun,
Watch as we all collapse.
Watch as we all collapse.
Sedated masses swallow headlines over and over again.
So consumed in the mundane, there’s no way for us to maintain.
This vicious cycle is, spinning out of control.
We’re left dead behind the eyes and there’s no one else left to blame.
Staring at the end, a future obsolete.
We’re only living to consume, ourselves.
In this mindless paradigm,
We can only decline.

Whoever they got to replace Jamie was always going to have a tough time of it... He was/is one of the greatest metal vocalists I've ever heard. He was incredible live, his ability to switch between punishing lows and beautiful, powerful cleans was unbelievable. Having said that this new guy isn't half bad, his screams need more power and some more diversity but his cleans are pretty awesome. It's good to have you guys back.

[@jaybegley7023]

Andy Quinton I agree with everything you’ve said here dude

[@nothingdefaced]

Spot on

[@waynedolan1549]

Agreed with everything. Jamie is a massive miss but the quality of the cleans make me have high hopes for the future.

[@chaitanyanarula2587]

Andy Quinton Id been wishing for them to come back with Ashe OHara but well. This guy is great too.

[@bugsandflowers7807]

agreed.. the new guy is good. beautiful cleans, screaming also nice, but when u re "competing" with jamies screaming habilities its hard to stand out

[@siderian4336]

Good to have you back lads, welcome Kaan.

[@nathanherbertson8987]

Can’t wait to see how he performs the old stuff. Big shoes to fill but impressed with this track.

[@frostmediaprod344]

Nathan Herbertson Big boots to fill. Jamie did growls.

[@litlop]

You know, there is just no way to get Jamie back, he left the band, it was his decision, I immediately understood, that there would never be someone as tough of a vocalist as him, but what is better? No HOAC at all or HOAC with another vocalist, who may not sound like Jamie, but still has some skills. So please stop blaming the band, this song isn't bad, the vocals aren't bad. Don't compare him with Jamie, and just enjoy their music!

[@mister_vulgar]

Its impossible to not compare with Jamie, when he's the replacement

[@Shadow57911]

Man its so depressing to see jamie graham leaving the band. I've been following that guy since he was in sylosis years and years ago when conclusion of an age came out. The guy is a godly vocalist and sylosis took a hit when they lost him but then I stumbled onto heart of a coward because of jamie and I was so stoked to see everything they've accomplished. Now I see he's leaving heart of a coward and maybe metal altogether and all I can say is its not going to be the same without those amazing vocals...FUCK

[@PhilipSchaffer]

I honestly wish Jamie never left Sylosis. Conclusion of an Age was such a good album and I think the band would have made some more amazing albums had he stayed on.

[@evantheo4151]

Money Authority Agreed. I’ve got all of Sylosis catalog but damn that first album was a masterpiece.

[@boloyeungjr]

Very underrated breakdown. That smacks hard

[@chrismetal2781]

I saw these guys opening for Any Given Day in Munich. This song was the one. I love the chorus. So catchy.

[@xTerronga]

And 3:38 gave me chills!

[@CrimsonKaos]

xTerronga same

[@rob8311]

really like the new vocalist, great singing voice and his growls are more of a hardcore shout at times. really looking forward to this album

[@chaitanyanarula2587]

I'm so glad these guys are back. So glad.

[@sagiterrorist9]

New fan here, don’t know all the drama but this sounds so damn good. You can feel the emotion in the song , in the vocals. Always a banger at the gym.

[@AngeliqueAngeL8471]

We won't collapse.we are a metal army.you men vent incredibly

[@user-rf7br8yb3l]

Have none of you dudes heard No Consequence? This isnt some fresh kid that got lucky and joined an established band. This dude has chops and hes been around for awhile now. I think he sounds fine.

[@ChesterSerenity]

In spite of how good was Jamie, when the band member leaves - everyone have to move on and move forward. I believe and hope that new album will be as good as previous ones. Keep the good work guys, we love you!

[@stefleloup3707]

Please stay in that direction! Awesome! And the SINGER is amazing!

[@DJVapour]

Kaan Tasan. Wow. If anyone hasn't listened to his previous work with No Concequence then they will have no idea of the brilliance he is capable of! Decent song, looking forward to hearing the album.

[@44fruitella44]

One of my fav song now

[@Spermwhales93]

To everyone who is concerned about the vocals: I've known Kaan for a long time and seen him perform several times in previous projects. The dude can SING. He is spot on every time and I have no doubt he'll nail the classic HOAC songs (in his own style of course). The band are in safe hands :-).

[@romanscerbak5167]

Robert Percy he sings really cool. But I got a bit tired of his extremes till the end of the song. They seem quite boring and sound all the same through the whole song

[@Spermwhales93]

He has more range than you hear in this song. Also Jamie has approved of him being in the band himself so that solves the debate :P.

[@Neurophagus]

He can sing but he misses the screams. I think this group is losing vocal power to vocal energy. 'Cause he sound the same from the beginning to the end :/

[@nothingdefaced]

I hope so. I'll give the album a fair chance... I like his clean vocals, but not crazy about the verses style on this track

[@JTCavey]

well said

[@lxpart8456]

2:52 is when the vocalist will blow your mind - congrats on that - love it!

[@bobofastora]

The cleans are pretty tight, but Jamie had an insane range and intensity with his screams so it's hard to get down with this dude. Still excited either way for more releases

[@BenSutherlandMusic]

Kaan you've smashed it, and the song is also excellent guys. Such an epic chorus and the breakdown crushes. Nice one!

[@rolltide91011]

Yall are awesome for putting the lyrics in the description!

[@erwanl.g7979]

When Comeback Kid meets Architects !Good song and the new vocalist isn't bad at all !

[@SnakesRaven]

Usual comments I see... Whenever a bandmember gets replaced he's going to get flak how he's not like the previous member. Of course he's not the same, he's not a clone. Stop being emo bitches and grow up. Jamie made a choice, the band made a choice to go on with this vocalist, that's life and life goes on. Keep it up metal brothers! Heart of a Coward rules \m/

[@bensunnyisaac]

God damn! What a song! I've been listening (AND headbanging) to this all day long! Can't wait for the new album!

[@anuruprao2056]

Heavy AF! Melo in the chorus & killer riffs, this is a lethal combo! |m|

[@InteractionImplants]

I can imagine how difficult it was for HoC to replace Jamie. This song is awesome and the new vocalist is very promising. I can't wait to hear him on a full length!

[@Manoj_Galle]

Awesome! Really stoked for the upcoming album. ☺️

[@derrk.]

This song makes me cry of emotion holy shit

[@DEFENDcore]

Great music! I'm shocked you come from Milton as Hacktivist witch i was found first. Big up!

[@thegreendoorstore9743]

Go on Kaaan!! ✊

[@bibi543_]

I LOVE IT!!! I don’t see why people are hating, this guy can sing!!!!

[@Fran-jw7wl]

I agree!!!! Kaan is so good!

[@carlaocruel]

I CANT STOP HEADBANGING HOLYYY SH1T

[@davidpearson4456]

Honestly really love this song and the new vocalist. People are giving him a hard time because he's not Jamie. Jamie was an amazing vocalist, and definitely hard to replace. But, listen to this song with fresh ears, forget Jamie...this is a banger in its own right and the new guy is great. Album of the year on its way

[@eldgarces3874]

2:39 my favorite part

[@Tweedmachine]

I was really worried for whoever was replacing Jamie. Panic over this guys kicks people’s dicks off! Class voice and a brilliant new song! Nice one boys.

[@itLEAKED]

Enjoyed this. Will listen again. Cannot wait to hear where else this voice can take the guys.

[@Rimanchange]

I just found this band, i gotta say they are FKING AWESOME KEEP IT UP!

[@yurazanaruk5002]

after 5 months of listening to “Collapse” i can say this guy is a new breath for the band that wasn’t bad. I love the band and love this singer. Long live HoaC!!!

[@dioidia]

Proud to see Kaan playing with them! Not only a super talented singer but also one of the coolest guys in metal! Congrats! :D

[@Fran-jw7wl]

The new vocals are amazing! I don't know why everyone is hating on them?! He puts so much time and effort into this. Things change! They won't we exactly the same. Jamie made the choice to leave. Kaan isn't Jamie! He is a different person so of course it will sound different. Things change. Deal with it.

[@JTCavey]

great replacement. can't wait for the new record.

[@legionnuevaespana4410]

AMAZING BAND

[@Hunter-wi3fg]

Saw a lot of negative comments on facebook before I actually got to listen to this, and I have to say they're all idiots if they think this is remotely bad. Stoked to have you boys back.

[@Jwallsmedia]

Hunter Really don't like this dudes vocals though tbh

[@matstef6391]

good choice! nice vocal!

[@SLANG777]

Oh yeaaah, this is my jam!

[@Danblukk]

I get what people are saying about you can't replace Jamie. My favorite Sylosis album is still the 1st with Jamie, never been the same without him. The metal elite will quickly ascend from the woodwork and say Josh is better. Jamie is one of the best metal lyricists I've ever heard.

[@garycaw9442]

Av just came across this band a couple weeks ago man a fuckn love them

[@Limpotix2023]

Best metal ban I ever see in my life

[@garrywhite13371337]

Pandora popped this on and i was like whaaaaat who is this? So im checking you guys out now and I'm sad to say it took 3+ years for my ears to hear this sick ass band wtf lol

[@zecundinovaldez9143]

Jeez how can be people be so convoluted on how they enjoy their choice of music. It makes me cringe the idea of hearing complaints about something they don't like about the song but it delivered to me in good choice of music they decided to make but i wont lie that i haven't heard the other songs from this band but to me it was a good introduction into this band and the vocals is fitting to me in opinion

[@Nickdoomofficial]

Well piss my knickers

[@tuluhanay8281]

Good job boiiiizzz !

[@tractor666]

Fukin Epic Track Guys well done

[@hydrodrop5457]

This music video really grasps the energy this song has! Well done boys, this is fantastic

[@canopychondros]

good song, i wish the lads well

[@gmsackman]

Great work chaps. Good luck Kaan, see you on your next tour!!!

[@coldbrutalhonesty]

Love it! I just love the fact that you guys are back, and this new song is a killer! I can't deny though that I miss Jamies vocal alot. Can't wait to hear the new vocalists low's.

[@jeffneeley9585]

Always down for Heart Of A Coward!

[@markw2444]

Welcome back boiiiiiis. This shit is 🔥

[@theknot3483]

This band is badass..

[@alfieonions3042]

Holy fuck this is sickkkk, the vocals are so beast! Not listened to this band before!

[@freddymanzo9191]

that's is amazing, is very very awesome!!!!👊

[@matthewbateman1017]

Saw them at download festival and kaan was on point with old and new songs

[@guaraches1]

Brought the fucking heat!!! This has been my gym song this whole week !!!

[@fernandogarciamunoz1142]

Brutal. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@alexmariner9733]

Vocals are great

[@amrelgendy4310]

Why always people attack the new member even if he’s good! I think this guy is amazing and he has a very good passion Jamies was great though but the band needs support since it was Jamie’s decision to leave the band Rock on guys🤘

[@wolfie6652]

the new vocalist is so good! I love it, ignore the people hating!!

[@Fran-jw7wl]

Yes! Finally someone can see his true talent!

[@bugsandflowers7807]

Beautiful clean vocals at the chorus

[@chonkassSM64]

His Cleans are damm good they is no denying he was never gonna be as good as jamie and i am really missing the lows but im a sucker for a breakdown and it really delivered for me at least HOAC!

[@lucaalbanese8967]

i don't understand the critics, nice song and nice vocal performance

[@rickyadams7090]

aggressive... I dig it 👌👌

[@circumstances8877]

Sooo cool!!!

[@monstersaroundus]

Sick work Sitcom Soldiers!

[@skanka4646]

Love it! Melodies and groove, can't wait for the album. King Kaan!

[@seanfearn3760]

Liking this....different but good!

[@arcad3]

Oh my gosh, so happy to see them alive!

[@ibuiltthesky]

HUGE !!

[@MizuRino]

Great song! \m/

[@MJL-91]

I’m liking this a lot it was always going to be hard to replace Jamie cause he’s just on another level but this guy is pretty damn good as well. I would have liked to here him mix the highs with some lows as well but his cleans are awesome as well

[@evantheo4151]

I’m just going to have to think of this as a different band lmao. Jamie is in my opinion easily one of if not the best metal vocalist of all time. Miss you man!!!

[@salzole]

Before judging Kaan based off one song, you guys could try to listen to his old band (No Consequence) and make up your mind based on that :)

[@ScottReed]

Just seen Heart of A Coward live with Kaan and it was fucking phenomenal. He's done a great job and he like all the Hoac boys are fucking awesome guys.

[@Thekevmannn]

I'm waiting for the FATALITY to pop up and Liu Kang to come flying down from above right into those spikes. Sick song, looking forward to more. Always hard to replace vocalists that fans grow to love but I enjoy the new vocalist and think he will do great!

[@H3DG1]

love it so much

[@matthewconnell9326]

Just listened to Nightmare live at resurrection fest again. Jamie is beyond compare and sends chills down your spine. Like the new tune though and it is a new chapter so has to be different. Excited to hear the rest of the album!

[@Freedum_Fries]

They're playing in the Mortal Kombat Pit!!!! #Fatality

[@calebnichols3111]

Just came across these guys tonight and I'm loving them already. Their drops are brutal. \m/\m/

[@RheaFallout]

Hmm not bad not bad, still love these guys gonna miss Jamie though, but seeing HOAC live is still top on my bucket list. Good luck to the band and the new vocalist!! :D

[@Nazax]

I love it!

[@VenomBlastT77]

Tried giving this a go multiple times and the vocals are just more suited to metalcore. The screams are monotone and dull and lack actual aggression which was the best bit about HOAC in my opinion. I have high doubts about their next album.

[@TheRockTrain1]

Excited to hear the new chapter in the evolution of HOAC! This sounds great ! Can't wait to hear him crank out 'Hollow'!

[@xTerronga]

I do miss Jamie, but this is good! Look forward to seeing you boys live again!

[@blackmanfri]

amaziiiing!!!! always digging HOAC and the new singer is a great choice!!! well done guys ✌

[@diegosocold4767]

This shits amazing

[@justinpruett7070]

Keep making music guys been a fan for some time now and I think the old singer kicked ass but new guy they could not found a better replacement y'all kick ass once again if this don't get ur head banging critics keep to Garth Brooks

[@jordanmcmichael6682]

Awesome

[@captainbarbossa577]

That chorus though 🔥

[@mattleonard9867]

Good to have you boys back.
