The Devil Is Near

Singer:Architects

Album:Lost Forever ∕∕ Lost Together

Hey

hey

they live this

day and night

This is sacrifice

no fucking compromise

Hey

hey

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 its 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

Hey

hey

they live this

day and night

This is sacrifice

no fucking compromise

Hey

hey

they have the heart to resist

Whilst the hunters hunt they will persist

You can hear them cry

They're calling out to the Mother

lost

She's bleeding out

She's bleeding out

Their innocence is heaven sent

Their 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

The tide will rush with waves of fear

Selling souls

the devil is near

The devil is near

"If we're going to survive on this planet

We have to respect the right of all species to survive

For we need them more than they need us"

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

You can hear them cry

They're calling out to the Mother

lost

She's bleeding out

You can hear them cry

They're calling out to the Mother

lost

She's bleeding out

Where tragedy is bought and sold

It seems their pain is worth its weight in gold
