[Intro: Oli Sykes]
So, it's twelve years and a week today we played our first ever show, this is all for you

[Chorus: Oli Sykes, Choral & Crowd]
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes
We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
Are we're truly alone?
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!
C'mon!

[Verse: Oli Sykes & Choral]
The deeper you dig, the darker it gets
There's nowhere left for us to go
We live what we learn, and then we forget
We'll never find our way back home, c'mon!

[Pre-Chorus 1: Oli Sykes & Choral]
They came like moths to a flame
You left like a house in a hurricane
The wolves are at my door

[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Jordan Fish]
It's the start of the end, surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes
We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
The end, and we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!

[Breakdown: Oli Sykes & Choral]
I hear them clawin' at the gates
Let us in, let us in
I hear them callin' out my name
Let them sing, let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let them sing, let them sing
Let them bastards sing
Let the godforsaken bastards sing

[Pre-Chorus 2: Oli Sykes & Choral]
They came like moths to a flame
You left like a house in a hurricane
The wolves are at my door
But I can't see the writin' on the walls
The wolves are at my door
Waitin' for my empire to fall

[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Jordan Fish]
It's the start of the end, surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes
We've been surrounded by vicious cycles
The end, and we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!

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.
