Architects Lyrics

Are there no fighters left here anymore?
Are we the generation we've been waiting for
Or are we patiently burning, waiting to be saved?
Our heroes, our icons have mellowed with age
Following rules that they once disobeyed
They're now being led when they used to lead the way

[Chorus:]
Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before?
Are you out there on the front lines or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
But when they are gone who the f***'s gonna take their place?
Yeah, will it be the cynics, the critics galore,
The say apathetic passed out on the floor,
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore?

[Chorus]

Don't you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
Somewhere deep down, I know you do.
And don't you remember when we were young
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
'Cause I still am, and I still do.
Make no mistake, we are not afraid
To bear the burden of repeating
What they're thinking anyway.
Let's raise the stakes
On the bet we made
Let's decide to be the architects,
The masters of our fate

Yeah, we still believe in all the things that we stood by before
And after everything we've seen here, maybe even more
I know we're not the only ones and we were not the first
And unapologetically we stand behind each word
