[Verse 1]
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, my love, you're in my heart
It was preordained that we should part
And be reunited by and by, united by and by
Goodbye, no handshake to endure, now there's nothing

[Chorus]
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
It was written in blood, oh, God, written in blood
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
Oh, my God, it was written in blood

[Verse 2]
Let's have no sadness, furrowed brow
There's nothing new in dying now
Let's have no sadness, furrowed brow
There's nothing new in dying now

[Pre-Chorus]
Though living is no newer, though living is no newer
And it was written in blood

[Chorus]
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
It was written in blood, oh, God, written in blood
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
Oh, my God, it was written in blood on a suicide note

[Bridge]
Like roses, we blossom then die
Like roses, we blossom then die
Like roses, we blossom then die
We fall apart
We fall apart, fall apart
Like roses, we blossom then die
Like roses, we blossom then die
We fall apart
We fall apart
Like roses, we fall apart, fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Though living is no newer, though living is no newer
(It was written in blood, on a fucking suicide note
The day before he died)

[Chorus]
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
It was written in blood, my God, written in blood
It was written in blood, it was written in blood
Oh, my God, it was written in blood

[Bridge]
Like roses, we blossom then die
Like roses, we blossom then die
We fall apart (Fall apart)
We fall apart (Fall apart)
Fall apart
We fall

[Outro]
Like roses
Like roses
Roses (Roses)
Roses (Like roses)
Like roses
Like roses (Like roses)

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.
