Architects - Royal Beggars Lyrics






Royal beggars, royal beggars
Do you, do you, do you wanna
Live forever, live forever?
Alone, alone, alone

'Cos we're broken
All hope is dead
But we're coping
Somebody save our souls

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
'Cos we're asleep in a hurricane

Bitter lovers, bitter lovers
Let go, let go, let go, 'cos it's
Now or never, now or never
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in

'Cos we're choking
And left for dead
But we're coping
Somebody save our souls

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
'Cos we're asleep in a hurricane

Are you listening?
You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds?
Or can you hold your focus?
It's ourselves that we will betray

Are you listening?
You may not have noticed
We have totally lost our way
Are you lost in the clouds?
Or can you hold your focus?
It's ourselves that we will betray

Like a bird in a cage
Trying to fly away
Is this the price that we have to pay?
Overflowing with rage
Yet we still obey
'Cos we're asleep in a hurricane

We sit on a throne waiting for god to bend the knee
But we're nothing more than royal beggars

But I'm as guilty as the next man
Our eyes are open, but we're not listening

    Royal burgers
    Royal burgers

  2. S.... i....

    incredible song so glad i found it

  3. �.... �....

    BANDA FODA D++ <3

  4. D.... ....

    Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands and I've only heard 2 songs lol. Much love! Can't wait to see what comes next for this band!

  5. A.... ....

    Ewww!! Immience is far better!!! Wanted to see what the comparison was so much. Eddie sounds WAY better!

  6. p.... t....

    2020 still amazing this song .. My favorite song so far

  7. T.... ....

    Fucking art

  8. m.... ....

    first in 2020 😀

  9. D.... E....

    Does it make you sick that my song keeps getting the same name? Because I'm sick of it just as well... This is David's hart... Not Royal Beggars... https://soundcloud.com/ellisd3/royal-garden-blues

    D.... E....

    Royal Garden whatever...

    D.... E....

    Fuck computers...

  10. S.... M....

    I enjoy the fact that it shows different ways that people cope with death in the video

  11. e.... ....

    I love the fact that you can hear his British accent even through the screaming.

  12. J.... W....

    😭 Architects for life

  13. r.... ....

    Incredible. Love the symbolism here.

  14. s.... g....

    у этой охеренной песни слишком мало лайков

  15. p.... t....

    Mantep gila nih band. Pgn bli bajunya

  16. G.... T....

    First reaction to Architects: He sounds like a dying cat...
    Being a fan: This is the most beautiful type of singing I have heard

  17. A.... A....

    Love it 😍 😍😍

  18. D.... T....

    2019 almost 2020 but still here listening to this amazing band

    D.... T....

    This is such a dumb comment. People still listen to Guns and Roses and Queen. Much older bands with a larger legacy.

  19. R.... 1....

    This is the best band ever ❤️

  20. F.... T....

    Best in the world song!

  21. G.... B....

    Architect's "Doomsday" and "Hereafter" are amazing tracks, but I think it's time I explore more of their music. This song is going to stick with me for a while.

  22. I.... ....

    i know saying “we sit on a throne waiting for God to bend a knee” makes Christians cringe.

    I.... ....

    Then you are not a true Christian.

    I.... ....

    A poor argument, as listening to a song and agreeing with a counterintuitive lyric doesn't suddenly and completely void one's worldview. You'd be better off accepting that we both like this song, we both see this verse from varying perspectives, and that it is perfectly fine to approach a song from a different worldview.

    I.... ....

    My point is you may be a few that agrees or disagrees with stuff you like. But Christians that I am around don’t like things that don’t glorify god. Why I said it. Some Christians are not as strict as most are.

    I.... ....

    I can't speak for the Christians you are around, but I can assure you that there is a difference between Christians who know they do not have it all figured out and approach their faith with humility, and Christians who, I would argue, can be described by this song. There's also Christians who like good music too. Again, it's not all black and white.

    I.... ....

    @Gold Brick Productions i clap to this comment of yours, tho there are songs where it can conflict direct with religion(most on older albums) tho ur 100% right

  23. J.... T....

    Dame Lauren babic crushed this song

  24. J.... B....

    1 year later I still get chills.

  25. S.... ....

    3:40 BLEGHH!!!!

  26. B.... W....

    This song would be better if it wasn't all screaming

    B.... W....

    when the song start with cleans lol

  27. P.... P....

    To the title: Jesus.

  28. Q.... ....

    No drugs no alcools no overdose

  29. A.... S....

    But we’re coping

  30. V.... B....

    OK OK what about Band of Brothers? I mean what about deez nuts? haha got emm

  31. B.... ....

    I got light headed screaming this

  32. z.... A....

    Back for my daily watch, anyone with me?

  33. b.... 8....

    This and doomsday are two of the greatest metalcore songs ever made. Not to mention songs like hereafter and the title track. All hail holy hell.

    b.... 8....

    Gravity? Naysayer?

    b.... 8....

    @Communism Untill eternity ends I was talking about this album, but yes, they're obviously great too.

  34. �.... �....

    in my heart forever!

  35. A.... ....

    Is this song about the paracutical industry and how they proritize money over peoples health?

  36. D.... S....

    I am a 19-year-old boy and I honestly cry everytime I listen to this song. It is so beautiful, yet it hurts so much. I have never experienced emotions in such an intense way. This is the best song I have ever heard and only Architects will be able to top it.

  37. G.... A....

    0:01 - 4:05 best part

  38. C.... S....

    2:36 - 2:59 = Best Moment in the Song

    Change my Mind!

  39. H.... M....

    I love this song

  40. A.... D....

    Who else is listening to this thinking of the world that is crumbling apart around us? Gosh the sight is dire.

  41. B.... v....

    How does it feel to know Lauren Babic did your song better than you?

  42. M.... B....

    Royal beggars, royal beggars
    Do you, do you, do you wanna
    Live forever, live forever
    Alone, alone, alone?
    'Cause we're broken
    All hope is dead, but we're coping
    Somebody, save our souls
    Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
    Is this the price that we have to pay?
    Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
    'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane
    Bitter lovers, bitter lovers
    Let go, let go, let go 'cause it's
    Now or never, now or never
    Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
    'Cause we're choking
    And left for dead, but we're coping
    Somebody, save our souls
    Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
    Is this the price that we have to pay?
    Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
    'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane
    Are you listening? You may not have noticed
    We have totally lost our way
    Are you lost in the clouds? Or can you hold your focus?
    It's ourselves that we will betray

    Yeah
    But I'm as guilty as the next man
    Our eyes are open, but we're not listening

    Hi there guys,If you are interested in metal with a strong spiritual message about love and respect, then please continue reading.
    I have just finished recording my debut album 'connected', after 3 years of lots of hard work, it is done.
    I would like to share one of those tracks with you guys if you would be open to listening to it. this particular track is basically a tribute to Gojira, I have embodied everything I love about gojira in this song. the rest of the album will be along shortly when the videos are done. I hope you all enjoy it. thank you

  87. M.... J....

    This song is about how we humans have been destroying the Earth. But finally the Earth has eonough and now She'll be punishing us and we will be nothing more than royal beggars. We thought that the world belongs to us and that we can do whatever we want. What a mistake. The fatal mistake.
