be very afraid Lyrics

[Intro: Sam Carter]
Go

[Verse 1: Sam Carter]
We bleed like an open wound
The stitches are of no use
Nothing will satisfy
We're suffering the classic symptoms of a broken

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
Spirit
You wanna push us to the fucking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say revelation's on its way

[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
So be very afraid
Revelation's on its way

[Verse 2: Sam Carter]
Waiting for the world to burn
Living but we never learn
Sorry, it don't look good
We're suffering the classic symptoms of a broken

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
Spirit, oh
You wanna push us to the fucking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say rеvelation's on its way

[Bridge: Sam Carter]
If Armageddon can't eclipsе our pain
Every action left will be in vain
It's like boiling the ocean
Nothing left to do but to bottle the emotion
'Cause we're all players and the world's a stage
We'll give a fuck so long as we get paid
It's like boiling the ocean
Nothing left to do but to bottle the emotion

[Breakdown: Sam Carter & Josh Middleton]
Be very afraid, it's like boiling the ocean
Everything we love lays resting on a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the fucking limit?
These are the symptoms of a broken spirit
You wanna push us to the fucking limit?
The classic symptoms of a broken spirit

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
You wanna push us to the fucking limit?
This is how we keep a tiger tame
Nothing worth fighting for?
Just step outside your door
They all say revelation's on its way

[Outro: Sam Carter]
They all say revelation's on its way
Be very afraid, let's all be very afraid
'Cause they all say
Revelation's on its way

What did Architects say about "be very afraid"?

Sam Carter:

It’s the only time on the record where you really get to hear that sort of low, growly-type vocal. This song is relentless the whole way through. We pushed ourselves to the extreme here. It’s kind of like a ‘fuck you’. We can still do this. We are never going to lose this side of our band. It’s what’s important to us. That said, The Beatles are one of my favourite bands and I always loved the way that they managed to finish records—hence the birdsong, which I recorded on my phone in Devonshire.
