BLACK VEIL BRIDES LYRICS

1. Exordium

The kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you
Not in a mansion of wood and stone
Split a piece of wood and God is there
Lift a stone and you will find God

2. I Am Bulletproof

Here we go
Holding onto lies, holding onto ties that vanished
Cut the rope
And fall into the sky, the devil filled our minds with sadness

The world’s a gun and I’ve been aiming all my life

Got something to live for, I know that I won’t surrender
A warrior of youth
I’m taking over, a shot to the new world order
I am Bulletproof

Here I go
Another prison flight, another perfect sky I damaged
Now I know
Just who created life and why I set my sights to save it

The world’s a gun and I’ve been aiming all my life

Got something to live for, I know that I won’t surrender
A warrior of youth
I’m taking over, a shot to the new world order
I am Bulletproof
And as they take their final breath, I have built the truth
I’m taking over a shot to the new world order
I am Bulletproof

3. New Year's Day

All the graves of the ones remembered in a desert we call home
All the slaves of the cold December find a voice to call their own
Stand up we are united in the eyes of the greatest storm
Line up we are ignited, this world will be reborn in…

Five, Four, Three, Two, One

This is New Year’s Day – so rise from the ashes
Faith will find a way- like lightning crashes
We’ll keep marching on and on and on...
It’s New Year’s Day, so rise from the ashes

Ring a bell so the serpent hears us
Let her know that we’re tried and true
No the beasts, they wont get near us… and we’re not scared of you
Light ’em up now
Start the count down in…

Five, Four, Three, Two, One
Let’s go!

This is New Year’s Day – so rise from the ashes
Faith will find a way- like lightning crashes
We’ll keep marching on and on and on...
It’s New Year’s Day, so rise from the ashes

Let the eagle fly
Freedom in the night
Let the eagle fly
Legends never die

Five, Four, Three, Two, One

This is New Year’s Day – so rise from the ashes
Faith will find a way – like lightning crashes
We’ll keep marching on and on and on...
It’s New Year’s Day, so rise from the ashes

4. F.E.A.R. Transmission 1: Stay Close

We expect a battle for humanity is about to begin
Within each uprising, a vague sense of stafety will ignite you in an unseen shadow
Without a slither of a doubt, towards those who protect and defend you
Let the thoughts slip away, and remain calm
Stay close to F.E.A.R.
Only we can protect

5. Wretched And Divine

I am the innocent
I am what could have been
The dreams you talk about, now left on broken skin
Here lies hysteria, a land where chaos reigns
Global disturbia, bows down to twisted ways

A world of hate awaits
We are The Wild Ones
They all look the same… our time has come

I am the chosen, Wretched and Divine
I am the unspoken, the one they left behind
Fearless, fight until we die
I am broken
The Wretched and Divine

I am the devil’s smile, the one caught everyday
A hopeful hero’s speech won’t stop the years you bleed
I am a hurricane, an army strong as one
As they sit back and laugh the one you left has just begun...

A world of hate awaits
We are The Wild Ones
They all look the same… our time has come

I am the chosen, Wretched and Divine
I am the unspoken, the one they left behind
Fearless, fight until we die
I am broken
The Wretched and Divine
We live for the broken hearts, won’t watch them fall apart
We live for the ones who don’t know they exist
We die for the endless winter, beginner and the sinner
We die for the ones who raise their hands to resist

I am the chosen, Wretched and Divine
I am the unspoken, the one they left behind
Fearless, fight until we die
I am broken
The Wretched and Divine

6. We Don't Belong

The gates of heaven were locked shut, the pits of hell… they were all filled up and I fear
I don’t belong here
They might call me a “sinner”, a walking flame from a fire that burns
Disappear
You don’t belong here

The church of F.E.A.R., the church of failure, the church of fools
So call me a nothing, call me a something
Treat me cruel
We Don’t Belong here
We Don’t Belong
We Don’t Belong here
It’s the anthem of the underground, so get back up when they push you down
We’re singing
We Don’t Belong here
We Don’t Belong

Can you hear the march of the rejects?
Line up the parade of the defects
Can I hear We Don’t Belong here?
So rise from the darkness, eyes of the dismissed… hearts of the used
Show me your worst, show me you’re cursed
Tell me the truth

We Don’t Belong here
We Don’t Belong
We Don’t Belong here
It’s the anthem of the underground, so get back up when they push you down
We’re singing
We Don’t Belong here
We Don’t Belong

7. F.E.A.R. Transmission 2: Trust

The rebels claim their brave new world is upon us
Do not be fooled by the chicanery in which they lay their claim
It is false, and their uprising will not succeed
You will place your trust in F.E.A.R.
You must!

8. Devil's Choir

You’ve been running for so long, still breathing
Hoping soon to find a song worth singing
Every chapter of this note, they’re reading
But you’re slowly losing hope on bleeding

I’ll carry you my darkest desire
When life sings to you
Through Devil’s Choirs
F.E.A.R. won’t steal what burns in you
I’ll carry you away from the fire

My desire, Devil’s Choirs
My desire, Devil’s Choirs

Raise another broken glass to failure
A simple promise of a crimson saviour
Take a look into the life you’re leaving
I promise you this isn’t pain you’re feeling

I’ll carry you my darkest desire
When life sings to you
Through Devil’s Choirs
F.E.A.R. won’t steal what burns in you
I’ll carry you away from the fire

My desire, Devil’s Choirs
My desire, Devil’s Choirs

9. Resurrect The Sun

Here in the echoes madness grows
The years of my sinning teach to show a heartless feeling of pain and regret
These wounds were opened like lines in the sand
The world is sleeping but they still have hope so…

I pray for mourning, I swear I’ll never let you die
These saints within us can bring this moment back to life
And my hearts held high, with this battle cry I’ll march on
On the horizon we will…
Resurrect the Sun

For the darkness has broken our homes
All that we wished for, like fools on a rope
I can feel it, the desperate control
A burning passion when love takes its toll
Yet souls have a reason and I won’t let go

I pray for mourning, I swear I’ll never let you die
These saints within us can bring this moment back to life
And my hearts held high, with this battle cry I’ll march on
On the horizon we will…
Resurrect the Sun

10. Overture

[Instrumental]

11. Shadows Die

Tear down the cross, splinters and shards remembered
This Trojan horse, rode to the land we enter
We’ll burn away and free our fallen brothers
From shackles made of steel and bones of soldiers

Let Shadows Die so I can feel alive
A church of lies can’t tell me what is right
Our little victories and desires won’t live on
Let Shadows Die so I can feel alive
I Feel alive

In fear and faith, the candles light our freedom
By tainted night we live this war of wisdom
The streets are stained with blood that ran their kingdom
And feed the beast that lies beneath our treason

Let Shadows Die so I can feel alive
A church of lies can’t tell me what is right
Our little victories and desires won’t live on
Let Shadows Die so I can feel alive
I Feel alive

12. Abeyance

That god does not exist, I cannot deny
That my whole being cries out for a god, I cannot forget

13. Days Are Numbered

Before your life is over know this to be true
All the hate we hold inside still won’t save your youth
Don’t waste your time on tragedy, easy to forget
Time that’s lost enemies fought, aren’t worth the price to live

One day at a time
One day at a time
Listen when we’re calling
Your time has arrived

Our Days are Numbered in a world of fools
We feel the hunger and follow no ones rules
Everybody wants eternal life
Nobody can seem to get it right
Our Days are Numbered and you’re no fools
Nobody’s fool

Man worships the gospel that they preach to you
Living like a demon, a burden left to prove
You can live your life in heaven or create your hell
We will write our end result with every tale we tell

One day at a time
One day at a time
Listen when we’re calling
Your time has arrived

Our Days are Numbered in a world of fools
We feel the hunger and follow no ones rules
Everybody wants eternal life
Nobody can seem to get it right
Our Days are Numbered and you’re no fools
Nobody’s fool

These steps we take to be fearless are yours
Life is yours
When deaths at stake you’ll be fearless
Be sure
Life is yours

Our Days are Numbered in a world of fools
We feel the hunger and follow no ones rules
Everybody wants eternal life
Nobody can seem to get it right
Our Days are Numbered and you’re no fool
Nobody’s fool

14. Done For You

The best things in life come with a price
The star that burns so bright faded the fastest
You’ll always feel it’s right... even when we end the fight
Welcome home, home tonight

Singing oh oh welcome home tonight
Oh tonight

Words they don’t know how to make amends
And all they do is push you to the edge
But it’s not wasted…

It’s all Done for You
All Done for you
All Done for you

15. Nobody's Hero

I’ll die fighting, inside me there’s a fire that burns
My life begins and ends without the faith that we learn

Save me from the darkest places
Save me from myself

I’m a loaded gun, an only son
But I’m Nobody’s Hero
I’ve come undone, I’m on the run
Yeah I’m Nobody’s Hero
Nobody’s Hero

To heal your scars I will give you everything I can
This war of hearts, we will rise again and take a stand

I can lead you to salvation yet I am just a man

I’m a loaded gun, an only son
But I’m Nobody’s Hero
I’ve come undone, I’m on the run
Yeah I’m Nobody’s Hero
Nobody’s Hero

This martyrs cross gets too heavy to exist
And we feel the loss of the lives I left to risk

I’m a loaded gun, an only son
But I’m Nobody’s Hero
I’ve come undone, I’m on the run
Yeah I’m Nobody’s Hero
Nobody’s Hero

16. Lost It All

I ruled the world
With these hands I shook the heavens to the ground
I laid the gods to rest
I held the key to the kingdom lions guarding castle walls
Hail the king of death

Then I Lost it All
Dead and broken
My backs against the wall
Cut me open
I’m just trying to breathe, just trying to figure it out
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down
I said then I Lost it All
And who can save me now?

I stood above
Another war, another jewel upon the crown
I was the fear of man
But I was blind, I couldn’t see the world there right in front of me
But now…I can

Cause I Lost it All
Dead and broken
My backs against the wall
Cut me open
I’m just trying to breathe, just trying to figure it out
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down
I said then I Lost it All
And who can save me now?

I believe that we all fall down sometimes
Can’t you see that we all fall down sometimes?
I believe that we all fall down sometimes

17. F.E.A.R. Transmission 3: As War Fades

We are not interested in the possibility of defeat
Not within the silence of a deserted ally, nor the clamor of a crowded street
F.E.A.R. cannot be vanquished, we cannot be destroyed
F.E.A.R. will rise up again and control the masses
Take back the power and crush the insurgent horde
As war fades into the distant memories of enlightened pigs and open wounds
The Rebels will begin to perish - one by one, it should
Feel the fear of dying young
Not ignore the chance to scream
Lie awake at night in terror, admitting F.E.A.R. will return to glory
And the story of Rebels who set out to conquer will finish in blood

18. In The End

In the End as you fade into the night
Who will tell the story of your life?

In the End as my souls laid to rest what is left of my body?
Or am I just a shell?
I have fought and with flesh and blood I commanded an army
Through it all I have given my heart for a moment of glory
I gave it all

In the End as you fade into the night
Who will tell the story of your life?
And who will remember your last goodbye?
’Cause it’s the end and I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to die

Born a saint but with every sin I still want to be holy
I will live again
Who we are isn’t how we live we are more than our bodies
If I fall I will rise back up and relive my glory

In the End as you fade into the night
Who will tell the story of your life?
And who will remember your last goodbye?
’Cause it’s the end and I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to die
Who will remember this last goodbye?
’Cause it’s the end and I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to die

19. F.E.A.R. Final Transmission

This is to be our final transmission
The rebels have defeated our illustrious armies
They have damaged our intention of ugly an defiant malevolence
All that we love and care for will sink
Into the abyss, into a dark age
Made more sinister and perhaps more protractive
By the light of preverted science and rebellion
The whole root and heavy core
Will perish and starve in captivity
You will never win your freedom
You cannot escape...
F.E.A.R.

20. Revelation

[Deluxe/Ultimate Edition Bonus Track]

The Glory of a Nation dies
The Symbol of this War is coming
A Warning meant to save our lives from F.E.A.R.'s Religion

Out of the depths we crawl to light
Never Give In when the Fire rises
Standing here we are unified our Hearts bear crosses

Can't turn back now

We are
We are the Revelation
So scream it out loud
We are
We are the Birth of a Nation
So join as one
It's time to raise our flags up high
We are
We are the Revelation
So scream it out loud

Wooo..
The Sound of a Nation
Wooo..

There are no Stars in the Sky
No sight of what was Freedom
Where do we turn when our Brothers die in a Fight worth winning?

We are Legions mesmerized
By the fools that killed our vision
Won't stray or apologize for their decisions

Can't turn back now

We are
We are the Revelation
So scream it out loud
We are
We are the Birth of a Nation
So join as one
It's time to raise our flags up high
We are
We are the Revelation
So scream it out loud

Wooo..
The Sound of a Nation
Wooo..
The Sound of a Nation

Can't turn back now

We are
We are the Revelation
So scream it out loud
We are
We are the Birth of a Nation
So join as one
It's time to raise our flags up high
We are
We are the Revelation
So scream it out loud

Wooo..
The Sound of a Nation
Wooo..
The Sound of a Nation

21. Victory Call

[Deluxe/Ultimate Edition Bonus Track]

Lonely among the dust and fog
Hungry for what the scriptures taught
Angry at all the love that's lost
Ready to heal our battle scars
A Holy War

This is one last Victory Call
Time waits for those who want it all
Watch their weapons fall!

Missing another life that's lost
Warning to all the paths we've crossed
Freeing ourselves from what they sold us
Starting to know the world we fought
A Holy War

This is one last Victory Call
Time waits for those who want it all
Watch their weapons fall!

This is one last Victory Call
Time waits for those who want it all
Watch their weapons fall!

This is one last Victory Call
Time waits for those who want it all
Watch their weapons fall!

This is one last Victory Call
Time waits for those who want it all
Watch their weapons fall!

22. Let You Down

[Deluxe/Ultimate Edition Bonus Track]

After the blood, After the tears have fallen down like rain
A loaded gun shot through the years and heaven was to blame
I'll take on all your shattered dreams
I'd give you almost anything
A chance to rise above the fog
I swear these words are true. I believe in you

I'll never let you down
I promise right here. Right now
I won't let you down
(Woah)
I'll never let you down
Our faith will silence the doubt
I won't let you down

(Woah)

The serpent's touch has made it clear that evils on it's way
This desert land of broken mirrors, we live another day
I'll become all your blasphemy. A war that's fought with tragedy
The scars we've left along these walls
I swear these words are true. I believe in you.

I'll never let you down
I promise right here. Right now
I wont let you down
(Woah)
I'll never let you down
Our faith will silence the doubt
I won't let you down

(Woah)

In the dead of night we'll rise of one for the fight
The sun ignites the spirit back to our lives
I won't ever let you down
I won't ever let you down
(I believe in you)

I'll never let you down
I promise right here. Right now
I wont let you down
(Woah)
I'll never let you down
Our faith will silence the doubt
I won't let you down

(Woah)

I won't let you down
