Architects
Architects, an intense British Metalcore band are wise beyond their years as they lament in their new song “When We Were Young”.
“When we were young

We flew into the sun
We thought we had the whole world figured out
Now all we do is speak in tongues
We play a losing game
Only now we hear the shouts fading out
We flew into the sun”
