Lyrics
Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes
I see those brittle bones
But we’re buried by modern misery
There’s not enough water in the world to wash the blood from our hands
We planted a seed
Its roots will suffocate the soul
It grows without light
And feeds from our bones
Hell must be empty
All the devils are here
Singing us the Lord’s Prayer
Finally, something that we all share
I won’t go to the grave
With the song still in me
What are we hiding in the rain?
This is a prison for lost souls
Another life circles the drain
We used to run with the wolves
Now we can’t see the forest
‘Cos there’s no light in the black hole
Don’t try and tell me we are blessed
We used to run with the wolves
Are these our new messiahs?
‘Cos the saviour has a gun to my head
Don’t be fooled by Maya, the kings are all thieves
And the serpents will bite as they please
How has it come to this?
I won’t go to the grave
With the song still in me
And I won’t live like a slave
Begging from my knees
I will not live like a slave
I will not beg from my knees
I will not go to the grave
With the song still in me
We used to run with the wolves

"Hell must be empty
All the devils are here"
I love that Shakespeare is still a thing in modern lyrics
@Poop Poop Tom loved using Shakespearean language in his diction, "the word made flesh, you can't fight fire with fire". It's only natural Dan continues this and writes similar to his twin
Norma Jean used that line, too.
Neeeerd!! 🤓🤓😂
Shakespeare is like the Greek drama writers: timeless, as the human nature does not change through the eras
@Poop Poop that quote is a direct one from Nietzsche and went something like "God is dead.. and there's not enough water in this world to wash the blood from our hands". Referring to the meaninglessness today's people would feel with that loss and the "bloody" or unsuccessful ways they would try to fill that void, i.e. the modern misery
The lyrics, the emotion, the melody, the heavy riffs, the message behind it and this band. You guys are
Heavy riffs? oO
Yes
There’s a reason why this band is having incredible success, ‘cause they deserve it. You don’t just hear it, you FEEL it.
SO MUCH AGREED. Especially in this and Doomsday
they were the absolute best at what they did. Holy Hell was their peak in metalcore
The band we need but don’t deserve.
Yes, if you look at all of the comments this is the exact result, noone seems to listen what this guys scream in our faces, all people care about is "bleh" and how good the band is compared to others.
True. The messages behind the videos and lyrics are beyond what we can comprehend.
@@Wilson84KS I thought the same. People are becoming too simple these days...

Architects keeping Metalcore alive that's for sure. Holy Hell is one of the best albums of all time
And Meteora or HibrydTheory LP?
@@grungefather9104 that's more to NU-metal
Too many sub genres in metal.
@@kbkbkbkbkbkbkbkbkbkb absolutely agree
Need check out some Erra to also include metalcore staying alive.
It took me 12 years to realize that I like hard music. 6 years more to realize that music can be so much more than something you listen to. That was when I found Architects. I started to really getting into bands (not only this one), reading backstorys, interviews, lyrics. Search for things I could learn from songs. I fell into a hole because of bullying, anxiety and shit like that. I bought All our god have abandoned us. And it fucking saved my life. Short moments of bliss, 3 to 5 minutes each, made me rethink many things. Listening to the album over and over again kept dragging me out of my personal hell. At the next Architects show I visited, I cried my soul out. All the emotions. The ability to actually let them out triggered by simple words, sung by a normal person.
September '18, I fell into another hole. Broken heart, more anxiety, the fear of losing my job. Then Hereafter was released, Holy Hell was announced. And I just couldn't stop smiling. Probably one of the biggest smiles in my entire life. For me this band is more than just music. They made me understand what music means to me. They kept me alive. They brought light into my darkest days. And the sad thing is, I will never be able to thank them in person for doing more for me then most people on this planet. So I will write it down here.
Thank you Architects, for giving me the strength to fight my depression. For saving my life twice. And for making the fucking best music, I could listen to.
I look forward to your show in munich next year ❤
So. this was my story. Short version but still longer than i thought it would be. And Thank you to everyone who made the effort to read this.
will they play in munich?
I wish you the best and all the strength you need to get through it. ❤
Geht mir ganz ähnlich wie dir.. Wünsch dir nur das Beste! Man sieht sich in München :)
Dude mental health sucks trust me. This band saved me as well on several occasions over these few years. We're all here for ya brother, stay strong
This is while she sleeps for me🌹
Wow Architects did it again, each singles is better than the previous one WOW!!!
Not true. Hereafter is so MUCH MUCH better
we0w! ~ Owen Wilson
I would honestly say the other way around but that doesn't mean in any case that this one is a bad song.
I think Royal Beggars was the best amongst the singles. 2nd is Hereafter.
Royal Bleghgars > Bleghafter > Modern Bleghery
Damn, they're going hard for that AOTY title.
you heard WSS new song yet?
Yoo ma Boy Nik ..
what new WSS song? :o
There will be a big battle between Holy Hell and I Loved You At Your Darkest for me :O
@@bliksemvis a new WSS song named Anti social was played on BBC1 one hour ago
3:35 Everytime when I hear this, I just imagine myself flying through outer space ... absolutely beautiful
Flew away and gone forever....
Got the same feelings !
Yez, mi tuu
I have the same feeling by the end of Doomsday
Honestly one of those the most beautiful moments in music history
4 years ago another fellow fan said Tom would be proud…it’s 2023 and I think if Tom was alive he’d be more upset with how the comment section doesn’t understand the meaning of the music. Rest in metal Tom, you’ll forever be a fucking legend.
Best album of 2018 is coming. My body is ready.
It will be REALLY hard to beat When the End Began from Silent Planet. Their latest record is really something special. Every tracks are gold, even the interludes.
Same I been saying that
@@Gvmbit parkway drive has a new album? i couldn't find it on wikipedia
Idk man. I don't think itll top Ice Nine Kills but close
@@HuntersReject97 true tho but both albums is amazing, and holy hell isnt out yet
Sam is a beast vocalist, he can scream like that with an arrow in his heart? Goddamn...
NinjaCloud it's a fake .. duh
@@richwashere9484 no shit
I took an arrow to the knee and kept screaming
@@richwashere9484 r/woooosh
the daredevil190 sorry, I forgot to mention "/sarcasm" .. people these days
They just keep churning out bangers like nobodys business. 11/10, much enjoy.
Masterpiece.
This "we used to run with the wolves" sticks in my head.
*Holy Hell I'm ready for this album.*
Same sorry my mobile have issues 😅
Why you rip off comments..?
Parkway Driver You mean my comment on Royal Beggars? 😂😂
I saw the same comment of yours in the Royal Beggars video. Switch it up a bit, will ya?
lordoftheoreos No
Architects is deadass THAT band
I'm so stoked for the record
They really are
How is it possible for a band to have this many amazing singles back to back to back?!?!? Massively impressed!!!!!
thats simple.. never change your style.. if all songs sounds the same.. all are good
yes , it also sounds to me that they all have the same riffs....@@Absolyim
It's definitely made a fan out of me. I feel so fucking shitty I was missing out all this time!
Most powerful, passionate vocal performance and lyrics I've heard in the past decade. This guy deserves a fucking medal. I'm not sure harsh vocals can get much better.
Man I really wish my friends listen to this kind of music..
Me too :(
me too!
Make new friends its that simple
They do, friend. =3
X>
just force them to listen like I do to my friends, whether or not they ever click the link I'll never know:( keeps me up at night wondering.
I dont know but some parts sounds like "All love is lost"
Great song!
Which is one of their best songs in my opinion❤
AdrienFlood We share the same opinion!!
@@Yukio1407 awesome! I thought I was the only one... I ve got the feeling that most people forget that All Love Is Lost exist...
*exists
All love is lost is much better
I am so happy. This album is going to be amazing. Album of the year already
Charlotte Bieber For sure!
I dont remember the last time i was so ready for an album to come out
@@ztoney38 fit for a kings album came out recently, i was more stoked about that than this one, silent planet is coming out soon too and they have STRAIGHT bangers man probably better than these releases, although i really like royal beggars now and hereafter, this single has to grow on me .... check out silent planets, northern fires, vanity of sleep, and share the body.. in absense is good to but thats a slower single
I'm not really too much into heavier music honestly, I love Architects though. I'll check them all out though.
The synths and ambience progression around the chorus remind me of "all Love is Lost". Rather than finding it repetitive, I find it interesting how a lof of the songs on this records are actually a follow up To AOGHAU. The gods have ACTUALLY ABANDONED US and we are now left in this "holy hell". holy fucking guitars in this song, Holly fucking video, And holy fucking Vocals for the GOAT himself.
B L E G H N I F I C E N T
honestly hope that was on purpose. It really sounds exactly the same.
A chord progressive is similar to a part in momento mori. Which imo is sickkkkkk
@@tomgottschalk2658 I really hope too! If it is the case, then it is FUCKING SICK. If not, it's very negative imo.
TheExisting 1 not only it is the chord progression, it is the synth- and vocalline as well. I was really just singing the wrong lyrics in my head when I first heard it.
The album cover itself is a ruined version of all our gods, I can feel what you mean, and kinda find it a continuity to the previous work. Tom on the composing act of the music is yet missing, but I really appreciate the work these lads are doing
"Seeing red" just release 10 minutes ago... and its so damn good that brought me here😂
**10x on repeat already and still going..
This song perfectly encapsulates the absolute state of this world and our 'lives'. We are slaves who live a monotonous existence in concrete jungles, never able to switch off, connect with nature or live our lives. Just work work work, stress stress stress. It is a disgrace. So many are miserable and fed up with the system, yet nothing ever changes..
Architects and While She Sleeps are two of the greatest bands in business right now. WSS is a bit underrated but they'll get there. I can't wait for this album.
WSS are way too underrated 😞
They deserve more attention, don't they?
Why do generic bands always get brought up with Architects? Architects is awesome, whenever other bands get brought up in comments I always go give their stuff a shot and I'm so disappointed.
I really think Architects is standing alone in "metalcore" right now.
@@dtack777 Well, it all comes down to personal taste. Music is subjective. I personally like WSS, they're lyrically a superior band than most of acts from same genre and they make good music.
@@dtack777 I'm sorry but if any band is generic it's Architects
architects never fails to produce amazing music, MODERN MISERY!
Royal beggars goes pretty hard too
Must be pretty uncomfortable singing with an arrow sticking out of your chest. Proves that Sam truly is the best metal vocalist
this has to be the most best comment ever.
Hahah truly one of the best!
It's a shame Josh isn't doing any kind of backing vocals, imo got a much better screaming voice
For me he's not the best but he's one of the best metal singer these days.
Margarita Romanova him and Howard Jones are tied for me
Does no one realize how hard it is and how much talent goes behind screaming AND screaming on key for a melody? Not many bands do that.
Keep it up guys
This song is more than perfect.
"There's not enough water in the world. To wash the blood from our hands." NEVER HAS BEEN truer than now... I keep thinking of this quote from time to time wherever I go.
am i the only one who got goosebumps from all released yet songs?
Only when reading the lyrics
Chills on the whole of all of our gods, and I’m confident the same for holy hell
This band is on fire. So fucking good.
Almost every song on the album gave me that feeling.
Lawrence Taylor?
Their lyrics are just so beautiful. I love this band so much, it is just so unique, carries a message with every song. I wish that other people would see that...
"I won't live like a slave
BEGGING FROM MY KNEES"
Damn, such a powerful line
He sings/screams with so much emotion, this is a goosebump band. Amazing
So many feels every time he sings “we used to run with the wolves” amazing song
Note to everyone: like the video before you play it because you might forget it after YOU SMASH YOUR PC WHILE HEADBANGING ON THIS EPIC SONG
yves govaerts done 🤘 rip phone and rip pc
that opening riff might just be more infectious than A Match Made In Heaven
Hmm I have to disagree. It's good but a bit too simplistic in my opinion. Not that simplistic is necessarily bad.
@@BaconJunkee I feel like lately Architects has been writing simplistic riffs. I enjoyed this one more than a lot of their last album in all honesty.
Jason LovesABR to be fair, Tom wrote a lot of complex styled chord based riffs. It might be more simplistic now but it does work just as well with Josh’s riffs. I honestly like it a lot. Instead of trying to replicate Tom, they’re more of writing riffs in Toms style. Either style works for Architects and in my opinion they’re aging like fine wine. Maturing and incorporating the same styled riffs from their older material. They’re going in a direction that seems natural
There is a very similar riff in "the distant blue" the last song on lflt
when you think it can't get better, but every single song it does
Parkway Drive: Metalcore is dead.
Architects: Hold my Blegh mate, I got this.
no more Blegh on Holy Hell u_u' just 1 or 2 & very discret...
“metalcore is dead?” Source?
@@longinuscyclone213 Emmure is gonna make a new album
I almost spit out my fuckin drink lmao!!
Parkway Drive is garbage anyway.
To be one of the people who have grown up with them since the album ruin, it’s just awesome to get the goosebumps every time a new album comes out. TOM it’s been a great ride thank you so much for all you’ve done to move my heart. I love seeing the band progress every album. Keep it guys. R.I.P Tom Searle!
Tom would be proud, Dan.
Nishant Gandhi Agreed
I agree to this
Lmao
@@nadavguy10 what's funny dude?
@@jeeemmm kinda cringy
Best vocals in the scene
Bury Tomorrow also
Sam can actually sing live tho
Spencer Charnas
Jake Luhrs, Sean McCulloch, Garrett Russell...
Sam's a good vocalist. He does what he does incredibly well. However, he doesn't have any variety. He needs to include more lows.
God save the BLEGH.
So fkn good. From year to year.
I can't describe with words how much I love this song.
Listening to this past midnight makes you realise how much this song is wonderful
The only thing saving me from Modern Misery is this band 🤘🤘🤘
Tom Kennedy-Dack Best coment ever.
Charlie Waffles is it though?
Modern Misery = Mainstream Music
*HOLY HELL* good refference
Parkway Drive: we’ve got the metal album of the year
Architects: hold my beer
ice nine kills: hol' on
Bury Tomorrow: Hold up...
Parkway Drive: We’ve got the metal album of the year
*Reverance is shat out of PWD’s ass and plops on the floor*
Every Other Band: Oooooooh that’s embarrassing!!!
New ice nine kills album is Dope AF.New parkway drive...well it has some great songs
Parkways new album is a joke that isn't the slightest bit funny..
- Hey Sam, what is the secret to achieve harsh vocals as you do?
- An arrow to the chest helps
so far, every song is a masterpiece, this band is out of this world!
almost every single these guys release... I break down in tears. I feel I can relate so much the shit cuts me deep man!
Aaron Belesky same here, amazing how much this whole album has that affect.
as much as I like new architects, this sound is the reason why I love metalcore and that's why I miss it
You guys okay? Between this and Royal Beggars, you've been losing a lot of blood lately...
they should see a doctor or something. its amazing how they still alive and singing well considering the amount of blood lost.
@@jackaller5112 its fake blood lol
POTATO king wooosh my dude
You don't need blood in the seventh circle... 👉👉
Made me giggle
Man, these songs hit me straight in the feels. This year has been so hard with my father in law being killed and one of my pets dying shortly after has me grasping for any sense of sanity. Luckily, this album dropped and though I m still having to fight to breathe, it helps hearing such raw emotions that I can relate to. I break down and just cry when I hear the song Doomsday. So many regrets I have to live with for the rest of my life. Hopefully the band reads these comments and knows that this music helps us cope with the demons in our lives. Thank you.
My man i hope youre better now 🙏🏻🙏🏻
They help me in my darkest days and make me feel alive in my brightest days.
Architects: Building my confidence and lifting motivation since I first started listening to them all those years ago.
Thank you guys \m/
Its refreshing to see a metalcore band that hasn't "Matured and evolved" into another pop-rock band. Looking at you BMTH, UnderOath
What did you said about Bmth!
😂😂
Well this aged terribly
This song revokes so many feelings in me. Been having it on repeat all day, probably my favorite song throughout the whole year. Thank you Architects for yet another masterpiece. ❤️
2:05 is probably one of the most emotion filled lines in any of their songs, especially when Sam sings "Begging from my knees".
First song i have heard from this band. Holy sh*t so amazing
Architects have been a band I grew up on back in Hollow Crown days. I first picked that album up in HMV at 16 back in 2010, and I fell in love with them on first listening.
It was energetic. It was melodically creative. It was honest. Something was different about them and as people. Taken me time to understand, and several listenings, but they grew on me naturally. And after every other album from HC, I had taken hiatus from them after The Here and Now. Then I started listening to them again at All Our God Have Abandoned Us. Honestly, it felt like they matured with me! They brought inspiration again... Until I heard about Tom. It hit me so hard. Still does to this day.
The amazing music he left behind when I was growing up... This will always be for Tom. Architects push boundaries. Holy Hell is promising. I feel hope in their progress. And it feels good to know that they are fighting back the grief with beauty and creativity. They’ve always been a huge inspiration. And now, they always will be.
I hope they heal from what they’ve experienced. I too lost somebody I loved last Christmas. They were a guiding light in my darkest nights.
I understand them. And they understand me. I connect with them musically and as a human being.
Architects, thank you for making a man happy whenever your music plays. You give insight.
“Momento Mori. Be mindful of death.”
Architects made me a stronger person today ! I will love this band till end.
I love this song to death!Bringing in the feeling of emptiness right from the start!2:55 - that angry and so sober from reality guitar riff is a killer!God bless Architects for this majestic lifeline when they face tragedy of their own! You need to know you're not alone in this guys! Your music has enormous healing power!
We Used To Run With The Wolves , You're Right Sam , We Are So Lost Now!!
Sad that the most comments are about "bleh" and comparisons to other bands, while nobody seems to listen, that guys screams out his soul and no one is listening, only comments so far is yours and has only 14 likes, while all "bleh" comments have some hundrets, we are really lost, slaves of our own idiocy, the leaders are dead since a long time and only the sheeps keep on following old systems, idiologies and plans that are all against the sheeps.

God protect this band. I am gonna grow old with this band. I can never stop listening to these great men.
I love how they've stayed architects throughout all these years.
Makes a lot more sense now than ever before thanks architects!! Great show last year in Phoenix AZ never will forget!!🤓👍
I was at that concert

The feels and message coming from these singles are so powerful. The 9th can't come fast enough. Dat look at 3:02 tho. You know it's about to go down
I heard Holy Hell for the first time last week because I thought that I wasn't "prepared" for it. This album blew my fucking ass off, dude. Architects is hands down the best metalcore/post metalcore band ever. You must love these guys
We Are All Blessed to have an good metal singer in this world
how good is this band every release is better and getting better
its beautiful the best band of the planet.... 🖤🖤
I'm here everyday listen to this Masterpiece
These lyrics hit hard, lots of folks waking up to this.
Yess.
This song... its energy, its intensity, its emotion... and those fucking lyrics.... sparking a light in my heart.
I won’t go to the grave with the song still in me ❤️✌️
Architects hit different! This is music for my soul ❤
All of the riffs in all the songs are eargasmic! :)
I was a little scared about what would happen to the band after Tom's passing 'cause he was the principal composer and lyricist in the band, but they are keeping that good level from the last two albums and Josh Middleton was the best option to follow Tom's legacy... Tom would be proud of them, they're such an amazing band. Forever Tom, forever Architects.
Wow, how did Tom pass?

Holy Damn!!!! I'm a 47 year old, old school metalhead, and I've been listening to a lot of Parkway Drive and Architects lately, and I'm officially addicted. Our local rock station in Atlanta, plays the same shit over and over and never anything new. Glad I checked out these awesome bands.
Sam's vocals are like fine wine, growing finer with age.
the best metalcore band of all time!!!!!! 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
"We used to run with the wolves." That just hits me hard and cant figure out why.
This band is simply OTHERWORLDLY!!
Just thank you, Architects. You will be forever have a special place in my heart

This song is probably my biggest inspiration to keep living for myself and to not surrender myself, "I won't live like a slave, I won't beg from my knees, I will not go to the grave with the song still in me." Too fuckin powerful
One of the most talented metal bands. Vocal range off the hook. Ready for this CD release
Architects proving to be better then amity’s new album.... i never thought I’d ever say there’s a better band then amity .... but architects stay consistent with their genre and they make wicked music ... well done guys !
Architects - Modern Misery > The Amity Affliction - Misery
Unfortunately, that taa album was kinda crappy
Jack Baldwin TAA went way downhill since LTOTM
Personally i also loved This Could Be Heartbreak, but Misery was a total abomination.
Amity is really suicide-core xd
This touches the soul and the heart of everyone,trying to remind us what is happening.And there are still people listening to mumble rap or some shit like that.So sad!
Architects: we are buried by modern misery
Silent Planet: this is a love affair with consumer despair
great minds think alike
For years everything they've written has been so we'll thought out and emotional. Their music's gotten me through too much over the years. They still fuckn got it more than ever
I’m 24 and have never really thought about getting a tattoo until I heard this song. Now, I’m thinking about it.
“I won’t go to the grave with a song still in me.”
