Lyrics:
God only knows why we were born to burn // If God is my witness, he'll see that all is not well // Christ, what a sight for sore eyes // Looking down on us, all the children that you despise // A bullet in the neck doesn't feel much like love // A message of rejection sent from above // No flags, no holy books // I'll be in hell with the misunderstood // The sons and daughters that you wished to forget // A desperate picture of god's regret // Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups? // One thing's for sure, he doesn't fucking love us // Hate must weigh on you like a broken cross // Hate; the dividing line we'll never step across // Outcast and reject // Father, father, how I've let you down // A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown.

GOD ONLY KNOWS WHY WE WERE BORN TO BLEGH !
-
Been like 8 years and this song still gives me cold chills
-
Love Architects for their lyrics, emotion, and sound. They deserve more recognition
-
I miss this Architects
-
Rest In Peace, Tom Searle. You will be eternally missed.
-
The meaning of the song is really effective, but I'm just here for BLEGH's, Screaming, brutal drops and Djent. Not disappointed.
-
Screams, Music, The Meaning... THE LYRICS. If there is a reason why I'm happy to be alive... is to listen to this incredible music!
-
Never heard a song so perfectly convey the feeling of cosmic loneliness
-
It's true, god only knows why we were born to burn. Forever in our hearts, Tom.
-
This song is FUCKING IMMENSE. "God only knows why we were born to burn" One of the best lyrics I have ever heard.
-
-
I'm religious, but I love this band. Who gives a shit if you worship a God or not? Just appreciate the power this song radiates. Good job once again guys!
-
Been a rough couple of weeks. I work as a surgical technologist and my wife is a counselor. We’ve both had several really rough cases lately. This song expresses how I feel right now. And its comforting to know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
-
I don't know what I love more; the song itself or the meaning behind it. Both incredibly powerful.
-
After just listening to the new single 'Animals' , I decided to revisit my first exposure to Architects - What an incredible song this is \m/
-
This song is absolutely BRUTAL. Especially the breakdown.
-
Powerful video/song/production.
-
I don't even want to know how long it took to render this music video. So far your music just seems to get deeper and more brutal. LOVE it.
-
I am a God. How do I know? Everytime I try and talk to God, all I can hear is myself speaking.
-
Everything is changing, but this era of Architects was on top. LF//LT
