[Chorus]
You got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith that you ignored
So don't try and tell me that you still believe
No, don't preach to me

[Verse 1]
Ask no questions and you'll get no lies
Turn the cheek and blind the eye
Let it go…
Bend the knee and give away your life
Bite your tongue and close your mind
Never know…

[Chorus]
'Cause you got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith that you ignored
So don't try and tell me that you still believe
No, don't preach to me

[Bridge]
You're not blessed, you're cursed
And it's getting worse now

[Verse 2]
It makes no sense, but it must be right
The blood and sweat you sacrificed
Was it all… for nothing?
'Cause we've found no sign and we've seen no light
We hear no voice when we pray at night
But we swore… and now it's too late to turn back

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You're not blessed, you're cursed
And it's getting worse now

[Chorus]
You got hell to pay, but you already sold your soul
It's blasphemy, but the words don't make sense no more
What would your mother say? Your faith that you ignored
So don't try and tell me that you still believe
No, don't preach to me

[Outro]
No, don't preach to me
Don't preach to me (You're not blessed, you're cursed)
No, don't preach to me (And it's getting worse now)
It's blasphemy

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.
