"Heaven Shall Burn's song 'Architects Of The Apocalypse' criticizes the destructive nature of human greed, addiction, and hypocrisy in society. The lyrics portray a world that has been ravaged and exploited, with no compassion or regret shown by those responsible. The song condemns the leaders and powerful individuals who have built cathedrals of justice in a kingdom of hypocrisy, using their self-righteousness to cover up the graves of those affected by their actions. The masses are left in despair, and nations are laid to waste. The song suggests that the architects of this apocalyptic world have blinded themselves with greed and have sold out the futures of their descendants for personal gain. Their actions have brought darkness to our future and have left us vulnerable to destruction. The lyrics emphasize the disbelief and rejection towards these architects. The repeated lines, 'I don't believe, I don't believe in you! You are the enemy!', express the vocalist's refusal to accept the actions and mindset of those responsible for the plight of society. The lyrics also touch upon the religious aspect, highlighting the irony of claiming to follow God's teachings while causing such devastation. The line 'A rush into our doom, as if your God came down And cures all failure' questions the belief that faith alone can rectify the consequences of human actions. In summary, 'Architects Of The Apocalypse' by Heaven Shall Burn criticizes the destructive actions of those driven by greed, addiction, and hypocrisy. It calls out their self-righteousness and questions their claims of following higher principles while causing immense harm to society and its future."
