[Verse 1]
I guess some kids are just born with
Tragedy in their blood
I try to wash this away
I wanna cleanse your veins

[Pre-Chorus]
I can help you see the light out of your despair
You tie the rope, I'll kick the fucking chair

[Chorus]
I feel the malice in my veins
My heart swells with hatred in your name
And when you've got nothing to turn black and blue
You've still got Hell to look forward to

[Post-Chorus]
You've still got Hell, you've still got Hell
And you've still got Hell

[Breakdown]
I will dance on your grave
I will dance on your fucking grave
I will dance on your grave
I will dance on your grave

[Verse 2]
Oh, when you're blessed with a grave to call your own
In my mind, you'll be six feet closer to your home
Your eulogy will be music
Your eulogy will be music to my ears
Oh, YA
Oooh, AAAAIYY!

[Pre-Chorus]
I can help you see the light out of your despair
You tie the rope, I'll kick the fucking chair

[Chorus]
(Oh) I feel the malice in my veins
My heart swells with hatred in your name
And when you've got nothing to make black and blue
You've still got Hell, you've still got Hell to look forward to

[Guitar Solo]
Black and blue
Black and blue

[Breakdown 2]
I have never really fucking cared
She never fucking had fucking air
I have never really fucking cared
Tie the rope, I'll kick the fucking chair, let's go

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.
