[Intro]
This is a call to arms, so grab your guns and get your horses
Only the dead have seen the end of this fight
This is a call to arms, so all you fallen soldiers, sing with me
Death or glory

[Verse 1]
So march with me if you believe there's any hope for us
I've been hiding in these trenches for far too long
All is fair in love and war or so they tell me
All is fair in love and war or so they say

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, come on, there has to be a better way
Get up, get up, let's leave this mess
I know a place that we can get away from all of this
Come on, come on, get up, get up

[Chorus]
I've been dreaming of us leaving
Everything and everyone we've ever known
I've been thinking all these visions
Must be a sign, so hold on and don't let go

[Verse 2]
No, we can't leave till you tell me everything
So come clean, don't talk in tongues, talk in tongues
It's time to bring out your dead
And all the skeletons that you've been hiding
Tell me everything I need to know

[Breakdown]
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead, oh

[Verse 1]
So march with me if you believe there's any hope for us
I've been hiding in these trenches for far too long
All is fair in love and war or so they tell me
All is fair in love and war or so they say

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, come on, get up, get up
I know a place that we can get away from all of this, yeah

[Bridge]
I couldn't see a thing till I shut my eyes
I never knew a thing till I lost my mind
I would sell my soul to know it all
But I held the keys all this time
I couldn't see a thing till I shut my eyes
I never knew a thing till I lost my mind
I would sell my soul to know it all
But I held the keys all this time

[Chorus]
I've been dreaming of us leaving
Everything and everyone we've ever known
I've been thinking all these visions
Must be a sign, so hold on and don't let go
I've been dreaming of us leaving
Everything and everyone we've ever known
I've been thinking all these visions
Must be a sign, so hold on and don't let go

[Outro]
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead

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.
