Architects UK Lost Forever // Lost Together Lyrics

Gravedigger
An iron st in a velvet glove // Another vulture posing as a dove // Do you have no shame? // Look at what you've become // You are the
reason we are bitter and then some // They sing of saviours, we sing of sorrow // But we're still holding on for dear life // You sold us all
down the river // I hope you choke on the vows that you failed to deliver // You said you'd change the world, but death still ies east //
The blind lead the blind, so we bomb for peace // Grave digger, there's blood on your hands // You built this empire on salt and sand //
Not all is fair in love and war // History repeats, we've seen this all before // We've given the vampires the keys to the blood bank // They
say the more things change, the more they stay the same // Whilst the liars leech, the crooked preach // So lie through your teeth, lie
like you mean it // it beggars belief, do you really think that we still fucking believe it? // There's no room in here for an honest man, only
callous and cold hearts // Oppressor, you built this empire on salt and sand.

Naysayer
Say what you like, I know what I am // Sometimes a ood starts with a leak in the dam // You said we'll never make a difference //
Maybe this battle is to ght indifference // Naysayer, hammer the nail // We're all on our own, we can't decide what's true // Betrayer,
hammer the nail // Such narrow lines separate me and you // So sick of the sound of people giving up // You can't stop me giving a
fuck // Fuck it, I'm a dreamer and I'm dreaming on // With every concession another piece of us dies // Will we ght for nothing, if not our
lives? // Apathy is our new messiah // Only he could let things get so dire // Apathy is our new messiah // The word made esh // you
can't ght re with re // The messengers all found knives in their backs // I know it haunts you, it haunts me too // We're all on our own,
we can't decide what's true // Why are we ghting, when I'm just like you?

Broken Cross
God only knows why we were born to burn // If God is my witness, he'll see that all is not well // Christ, what a sight for sore eyes //
Looking down on us, all the children that you despise // A bullet in the neck doesn't feel much like love // A message of rejection sent
from above // No ags, no holy books // I'll be in hell with the misunderstood // The sons and daughters that you wished to forget // A
desperate picture of god's regret // Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups? // One thing's for sure, he doesn't fucking love us //
Hate must weigh on you like a broken cross // Hate; the dividing line we'll never step across // Outcast and reject // Father, father, how
I've let you down // A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown.

The Devil Is Near
They live this day and night // This is sacrice, No fucking compromise // They have the heart to resist // Whilst the hunters hunt, they
will persist // This is where tragedy is bought and sold // It seems their pain is worth it's weight in gold // You know they're here when
the water is red // Our fading life support is hanging by a thread // A message etched on broken ships // You can hear them cry, they're
calling out // For the mother lost, she's bleeding out // Their innocence is heaven sent // This malevolence, it will not relent // A graveyard
sits upon the shore // They won't swim together anymore // The tide will rush with waves of fear // Selling souls // The devil is near // A
message etched on broken ships // We'll be here till corruption quits // There is a voice, though they cannot speak // Not yet ready to
admit defeat.

Dead Man Talking
These martyrs seek no adoration // No promises of god's salvation // They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet // They hung the
heroes // You've got to watch your back // You've got to swallow fear // Cover your tracks, or you might disappear // They found the
words to speak unspeakable things // They struck the air from the chests of kings // If you were caught between the devil and the deep
blue sea // Would you run and hide? Or stand for what you believe? // Maybe Orwell was right all along // They think this spells the end,
it's only just begun // If you nd your feet, you can eclipse the sun // Swear that you won't forget // Tell the rats to get back in the gutter.
We'll be watching, we're always watching // You try to stamp them out // You'll only fan the ames // This is for all the snakes: Fuck
you // So hold your forked tongues // You've got us spitting nails // I'm gonna to say it straight. Fuck you.

Red Hypergiant
(Instrumental)
C.A.N.C.E.R
No one knows permanence quite like you // There's a ruthlessness in all that you do // This is not about what we deserve // There's no
bias in the misery served // C.A.N.C.E.R // So watch the sun sink into the sea // There is a perfect peace but don't wait up for me //
When we all fade away // And this world can't bare another day // There will be no ght in broken bliss // I feel it now more than ever // A
reaper's watch // My life ready to sever // Your name carries more than disease // A symbol of man brought to his knees // Find a little
light and hold it close // Don't lose sight of what matters most // This is the burden we all carry together // Waiting in the wings, so we
never say never.

Colony Collapse
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in // We brought the battle // We saw the signs // Now we've found ourselves two steps behind //
I'm counting days like they're running out // There's ghosts in the water, so prey for drought // This time there's no where to hide // We're
facing the ring squad side by side // 1986 // This is full relapse // Our latest apocalypse // This is colony collapse // Give us the rope
and we'll tie our own noose // We truly believed all we touched turned to gold // We were warned but we wouldn't be told // They said
that the ocean's on re // Say it isn't true // The truth never hurt so much // Can we start anew?

Castles In The Air
This is the be all, the end all // The burden, the blessing // I've made promises that I know I can't keep // Drink from the holy grail, you'll
nd it's bittersweet // No matter what he says, Poison is not my friend // But he'll have my back until the bitter end // Always climbing but
only ever descending // The canvas before me is never ending // So call for the crossroads if you're lost in the woods // If I drop this
torch then I'll be gone for good // I said enough is enough // Well I guess I lied // All my mistakes will outlive me // I just can't accept
that what will be, will be // My lungs are failing // I can't catch my breath // I don't know why, but right now I'm scared to death // My fear
still sees, when my eyes are closed // But the blames on me, this is the path I chose // I wasted time building castles in the air // If
there's peace to be found, I won't nd it there.

Youth Is Wasted On The Young
The past is dead // I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace // If we stop the clock, will I reappear? // Pulled from the drift //
There goes another year // The stars align, the planets shift // All the innite moments that we've missed // There's parts of me that are
lost forever // At least we're all lost together // We all remember youth like it's dead and gone // Like our favourite line, from a forgotten
song // I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart // A life lost in the dark // When I reach the end, will I beg for more? // Will I look
back? Or step through the door? // I stand beneath a monolith // Do you ever feel like you won't be missed? // There's parts of me that
are lost forever // At least we're all lost together // I heard that this was only a ride // So there's no worth in waiting for death to arrive //
All we are, is just a name, it's all we are // Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones // Youth sinks alone // I'll show you my hurt and I'll
show you my heart // A life lost in the dark.

The Distant Blue
That distant blue, thats me and you // It was from there that we all grew // Framed in space, our rst home // All those beating hearts //
That were made of stone // We were disaster built from esh and bone // Their bodies made a mountain, a ladder to the stars // When
they reached up to the sun, It only left them with scars // All the saints and the sinners will reap what they sow // So they stood back and
watched their bitterness grow // They couldn't tell the cure from disease // They no longer knew their want from their need // They
fucked the future, forgot the past // Nothing built was built to last // A common ground, now we see // That connected us like the land
and the sea // Caught in a web, don't struggle free // This is all we've got, so just let it be // If we save ourselves, we'll feel so small //
We'll ask ourselves why we cared at all.
