“A Match Made in Heaven” was the first single from Architects' seventh studio album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us and was released on 6th March 2016 via the Epitaph Records YouTube channel.
This song is about the corrupt nature of Western politics and how this has affected the Middle East.
[Intro]
Tell me, was it all worth it, to watch your kingdom grow?
All the anchors in the ocean haven't sunk this low
Sunk this low
Rotten to the core
[Verse 1]
So, who's left to count the cost?
Beneath the ruin lies a story of the lives lost
Now we're gone, left without a trace
But we took something they cannot replace
[Chorus]
A match made in heaven
Paved the road to hell
We've been down this path before
Cold-blooded retribution
So, fuck your revolution
[Verse 2]
You chew up peace and spit it out as war
You've been feeding the wolf that's waiting at the door
You are rotten to the core
We found your fingerprints all over the trigger
If you're looking for tyrants, take a look in the mirror, blegh
[Break]
You knew all along, that the cancer would spread
So, don't be surprised to find a price on your head
[Verse 3]
Sorry son, but we destroyed your home
We murdered your family, now you're on your own
Collateral damage, face down in the sand
Watch the dominoes fall
It's all just part of the plan
[Chorus]
A match made in heaven
Paved the road to hell
We've been down this path before
Cold-blooded retribution
So, fuck your revolution
A match made in heaven
Paved the road to hell
We've been down this path before
And every execution
The price of your collusion
[Bridge]
You knew all along that the cancer would spread
So, don't be surprised to find a price on your head
Tell me, was it all worth it to watch your kingdom grow?
All the anchors in the ocean haven't sunk this low
Sunk this low
[Outro]
You are rotten to the core
You are rotten to the core
You are rotten to the core
You are rotten to the core
