[Chorus]
We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest till we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest till we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest till we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest till we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest till we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest till we're all fucking dead

[Post-Chorus]
I refuse, I refuse
I refuse to close my eyes

[Verse 1]
I have loved, and I have lost
I have turned, and I have tossed
I have listened, and I have watched
I've gave into this for long enough
I have lost, and I have loved
Sleep has stolen far too much
So don't close your eyes, not just yet
Sleep is just a cousin of death

[Bridge]
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead
Figure it out
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead
Figure it out

[Verse 1]
I have loved, and I have lost
I have turned, and I have tossed
I have listened, and I have watched
I've gave into this for long enough
I have lost, and I have loved
Sleep has stolen far too much
So don't close your eyes, not just yet
Sleep is just a cousin of death

[Breakdown]
So throw your diamonds in the sky, we'll stay gold forever
So throw your diamonds in the sky, we'll stay gold forever

[Verse 2]
I can promise you one thing: death will take us all
I can promise you one thing: you will die alone
We're all going to hell, we may as well go out in style
Death is a promise, and your life is a fucking lie

[Chorus]
We will never sleep because sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest until we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep because sleep is for the weak
No, we will never rest until we're all fucking dead

[Post-Chorus]
I refuse, I refuse
I refuse to close my eyes

Bring Me The Horizon are a British alternative rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire—often stylised as simply “BMTH” or shortened to “Bring Me.” Formed in 2003, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver “Oli” Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The name of the band was taken from Captain Jack Sparrow’s line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean which he “Bring me that horizon.” Oli stated in an interview with Spin how the name connects with his vision of the

Right at the end of the film—it might even be the very last line—Johnny Depp says, “Bring me that horizon.” That was really inspiring. I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world. We never thought doing that was possible, but that’s what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer.
