[Verse 1]
Dead hands clutch my arm, the smell of death fills the air
Her fragrance, a carcass reanimates
Oh, if you need me, I'll be tying a rope to the tree
Where our, where our love used to be
I took down every photo of us and buried them at sea
I took down every photo and I buried them at sea
Don't worry, pretty, beauty is only skin deep
(Psyche!)

[Chorus]
Your beauty is no more
So why don't you just fuck yourself, you fucking whore
Oh, your beauty is no, no more
So why don't you just fuck yourself, you stupid fucking whore

[Post-Chorus]
I should have known
Not to look into her eyes
I'm cast to stone (I'm cast to stone)
Her glare was my demise
Medusa, Medusa, oh

[Chorus]
Your beauty is no, no more
So why don't you just fuck yourself, you fucking whore

[Verse 2]
Dead hands clutch my arm, the smell of death, it fills the air
Her fragrance, a carcass reanimates
Since you left me, I've never
Since you left me, been the same
Since you left me, I've never
Since you left me been the fucking same

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown]
Hour by hour, day by day
Your memory will fade away
Every sunrise, every sunset
Will help me to forget your name
Your smile, your eyes, Medusa

[Outro]
Decapitate her and bring her head to Athena
Unlike her sisters, she ain't no deathless God, oh
This is for every time you stabbed me in the back
Every notch in your bedpost
This is for every time you stabbed me in the back
For every notch in your bedpost, baby

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.
