Intro - E 

E 
Time drowns like a machine 

Caught between the tides 
      C#                   B 
Its twisted anchors drift below 
E 
Pressed like the pins in a map 

Dressed in single file 
C#                        B 
Mark the places you won't go 

      A     B     C# 
With your hands 
B           A    B    C#   B 
Built with your hands slowly 
         A     B   C#  B     A 
Through your hands we won't slip 



            E         C#   B 
We are the architects 
            E         C#   B 
We are the architects 



E 
Sunk in the sulphur and sand 

While they dream away 
                 C#              B 
But watch this desert take them whole 
E 
Eyes cast down like a spell 

Struck by new design 
               C#                   B 
So what's the view like from your cage? 


      A     B     C# 
With your hands 
B           A    B    C#   B 
Built with your hands slowly 
         A     B   C#  B     A 
Through your hands we won't slip 


            E         C#   B 
We are the architects 
            E         C#   B 
We are the architects 



E 
We hold down 
We hold down 
We hold down 
We hold down 
C#   B 
Yeah
