BLACK VEIL BRIDES LYRICS

1. New Religion

Welcome to your life
We have got you in our sights
And thoughts of God are better left alone
It's in your head, black and blue
What they told you wasn't true
Come along and fight the unknown
The army's grown

We'll pray to all the wrong decisions,
Woah oh oh
This time you'll show all that you can be
Woah oh oh
Grab your weapons now, we'll run against the crowd
And changing history

So
Let's take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battle's won for the new religion

No one can defeat what the congregation speaks
Bound together, the flag that we defend
They made a fool out of you
But you knew just what to do
Raise your fists up and stand until the end
Amen

We'll pray to all the wrong decisions
Woah oh oh
This time you'll show all that you can be
Woah oh oh
Grab your weapons now, we'll run against the crowd
And changing history

So
Let's take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battles won for the new religion

Come now and imagine with me
Taking back a world that once was ours
Let's regain the power
And then we will end what we've begun

Let's take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battles won for the new religion

We are the unholy
We are the bastard sons of your media culture
Our minds, eyes and bodies were born of your exclusion
And illusion you hide behind
You don't love a God, you love your comfort
To you were are filth, we are dirty, so be it

We are dirty and unclean, a congregation of the unseen
Together we will set this world on fire
This is the new religion
Amen!

2. Set The World On Fire

Saints born together to fight against their holy fables
The streets are where we pray
Hymns for the lonely, wretched and forgotten
The feeling in our hearts wont ever fade away

We stand tall ( United! )
Watch them fall ( Divided! )
Break the chains and now we'll show them all ( Fight! )

Fight for all you know
When your back's against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war,
Set the world on fire

Sing out united against the ones you left in hatred
Our message of today
Like children crying when all they knew was dying
And we will raise our flags up
Its time for them to pay

We stand tall ( United! )
Watch them fall ( Divided! )
Break the chains and now we'll show them all ( Fight! )

Fight for all you know
When your back's against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

(Woah ohh)
So sing it loud you hold the key
(Woah ohh)
We're the rebels and we're free
(Woah ohh)
Its time to burn all that you see
(Woah ohh)
Now the world belongs to me

Fight for all you know
When your back's against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Proud in all you are
Showing every scar
As your badge of honor
When you can't take anymore
Of what they're living for
Set the world on fire

3. Fallen Angels

Scream, shout, scream, shout, we are the fallen angels

We are the in between, cast down as sons of war,
Struck to the earth like lightning on this world we're torn,
We won't cause the pain, of living out their law,
Take joy in who you are we know our wings are flawed

We're bored to death in heaven, and all alone in hell,
We only want to be ourselves

We scream (We scream) we shout (We shout)
We are the fallen angels, we scream (We scream)
We shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ohh,
To those who sing alone, no need to feel this sorrow,
We scream (We scream) we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels

Follow the morning star, A light when darkness fell,
The passion left unholy now you find yourself,
We have nowhere to go, no one to wish us well,
A cry to find our home, our stories they will tell

We're bored to death in heaven, and all alone in hell,
We only want to be ourselves

We scream (We scream) we shout (We shout)
We are the fallen angels, we scream (We scream)
We shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ohh,
To those who sing alone, no need to feel this sorrow,
We scream (We scream) we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels

Scream, shout, we are the fallen angels,
Scream, shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ohh
We scream (We scream) we shout (We shout)
We are the fallen angels, we scream (We scream)
We shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ohh,
To those who sing alone, no need to feel this sorrow,
We scream (We scream) we shout whoa,
We are the fallen angels

We scream, we shout, we are the fallen angels,
We scream, we shout, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-ohh,
Whoa-oh-oh-ohh, we shout whoa, we are the fallen angels

4. Love Isn't Always Fair

One look and I am sold
You got me on my knees
You steal all my innocence
A love sick melody

Take me…

You always want the one that you can’t have
Cuz’ love isn’t always fair
You are the best romance I’ve never had
Cuz’ love isn’t always fair

Your kiss, a withered rose
Your lips have buried me
Hearts race the moments gone
We shared this fantasy

Take me…

You always want the one that you can’t have
Cuz’ love isn’t always fair
You are the best romance I’ve never had
Cuz’ love isn’t always fair

Kneel and pray for closure baby
This is the ride that we’re on, oh
I’m taking what you give to me
Never want it to stop,
I want it all

In this temporary love

You always want the one that you can’t have
Cuz’ love isn’t always fair
You are the best romance I’ve never had
Cuz’ love isn’t always fair

(Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh…)

Love isn’t always fair!

5. God Bless You

We’re all told that when we die
We leave to a better place
And all I know is what you left;
A love I can’t erase

All the same in love and war
Burn my name and ashes scorn

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you
God bless you

Shed those faded memories
This is your curtain call
I’ve had enough of sympathy
It’s time to watch you fall

All the same in love and war

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you
So God bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you

You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So God bless you
So God bless you
God bless you
God bless you

God bless you

6. Rebel Love Song

I cannot hide what's on my mind
I feel it burning deep inside
A passion crime to take what's mine
Let us start living for today

Never gonna change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

My outlaw eyes have seen their lies
I choke on all they had to say
When worlds collide what's left inside
I hold on tight and hear you pray

Never gonna change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom
(Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom)

Never gonna change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothin's gonna stop us
No not this time

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song

7. Saviour

I never meant to be the one
Who kept you from the dark
But now I know my wounds are sewn
Because of who you are
I will take this burden on
And become the holy one
But remember, I am human
And I'm bound to sing this song

So hear my voice
Remind you not to bleed
I am here
Saviour
Will be there
When are feeling alone
Oh
A Saviour
For all that you do
So you live freely
Without their harm

So here I write my lullaby
To all the lonely ones
Remember as you learn to try
To be the one you love
So I can take this pen
And teach you how to live
What is left unsaid
The greatest gift I give

So hear my voice
Remind you not to bleed
I am here
Saviour
Will be there
When are feeling alone
Oh
A Saviour
For all that you do
So you live freely
Without their harm

Saviour
Will be there
When are feeling alone
Oh
A Saviour
For all that you do
So you live freely
Without their harm

When I hear your cries
Praying for life
I will be there

When I hear
Your
Cries
Praying for life
I will be there!

I will always be there

8. The Legacy

Racing faster,
Escape disaster,
Partners in crime will leave their mark
We make our own way,
No thoughts of yesterday,
Black hearts of chrome and battle scars
(Chrome and battle scars)
Woah-ohhhh

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hand on destiny

We came from nothing,
But promised one thing,
We'll change the world with these guitars
So listen closely,
And don't stop working,
No one can tell you who you are
(Tell you who you are)
Woah-ohhhh

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hand on destiny

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hand on destiny

Arggggh
GO!
RUN!
(Run)
RUN!
Never look back!
RUN!
(Run)
RUN!
Never look back!
Run!
Run!
Run!
And never look back!
Ruuuun!

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hand on destiny

The legacy
Born from a dream
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hand on destiny

9. Die For You

The writing's on the wall
Your crimson touch is goin' nowhere
I'll hang on every word you said
And sink my teeth into this nightmare
Woah oh oh..
I'm screaming out
Woah oh oh..
Can you hear me?

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you
I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you

I feel your body crawl
Pale flesh for my devotion
True pain was all you ever meant
Love would be our last emotion
Woah oh oh...
I'm screaming out
Woah oh oh..
Can you hear me?

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you
I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you

With every breath I feel you there
Forbidden love is falling
Your eyes sing despair

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake

I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you
I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you

I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you
I see the truth
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for
You

10. Ritual

Praying for what your heart brings
Thoughts of escape and bloodshot eyes
You're barely sleeping, no longer dreaming
Now what you do to feel alive

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Singing songs of the old days
Try to remember what's gone by
Stronger in new ways
Don't care what they say,
This is your life
It's time to rejoice

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Our destiny is what we learned
Together wanting something more
Their misery and demons burn
A feeling that's worth fighting for

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Becoming one with our ritual

11. Youth And Whisky

These words are burning inside of me
Spend years in liquid harmony
This dream is who I wanna be
Youth and whisky

I grew from those who hate me
Stead fast to a razor-blade symphony
Cigarettes n' lyrics made me
Youth and whisky

Can you see,
Can you see me?
I'm strong from what they made me
These angels,
Who carry me,
They taught me
Youth and whisky

Baptized in smoke and misery
A loaded gun and a bastard's history
My temple's for the crazy
Youth and whisky

No sorrow left inside me
Celebrate the moments behind me
This shot is Holy Mary
Youth and whisky

Can you see,
Can you see me?
I'm strong from what they made me
These angels,
Who carry me,
They taught me
Youth and whisky

Hey hey!
Brothers..
Hey hey!
Fighters..
Hey hey!
Bottles living for another round
Hey hey!
Lovers..
Hey hey!
Liars..
Hey hey!
Throttles speeding towards a black out

Black out!

Can you see,
Can you see me?
I'm strong from what they made me
These angels,
Who carry me,
They taught me
Youth and whisky

12. Smoke And Mirrors

[Bonus Track]

Quiet as I watch you falling
You become a pray again
I can see your skin is crawling
Lipstick cases and sins

Wake up Wake up Wake up
You’re drowning
Same old song and dance
Wake up Wake up Wake up
My Darling
Never stood a chance

Lost in another one
And it’s just so far
An Illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

I hear it in her voice, she’s stalling
“You were just another man”
Your claims of love are falling
Now it’s clear you can’t win

Wake up wake up wake up
Heart’s pounding
Praying for romance
Wake up wake up wake up
It’s sounding
Time to try again

Lost in another one
And it’s just so far
An Illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

I’d rather be alone
Then watch you outgrow
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors

Black painted eyes
Cover the lies
It’s time you threw away your cruel disguise

Lost in another one
Now it’s just so far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

I’d rather be alone
Then watch you outgrow
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors
