[Intro: Oli Sykes]
Crucify me and nail my hands to a wooden cross
There is nothing above, there is nothing below
Heaven and Hell live in all of us
And I've been cast astray

[Verse 1: Oli Sykes]
I am an ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
Lost in the abyss, drowned in the deep
No set of lungs could salvage me
Only a shipwreck, only a ghost
Merely a graveyard of your former self
We just watched the waves crash over
And I've been cast astray

[Refrain: Oli Sykes]
There is a Hell, believe me, I've seen it
There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret
No one needs to know
There is a Hell, believe me, I've seen it
There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret
No one needs to know

[Verse 2: Oli Sykes]
I am an ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
Lost in the abyss, drowned in the deep
No set of lungs could salvage me
Save yourself, save your breath
The tide's too strong, you'll catch your death
So breathe for me
Just breathe

[Pre-Chorus: Lights]
There is a Hell, believe me, I've seen it
There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret
There is a Hell
Believe me, I've seen it
There is a Hell, believe me, I've seen it
There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret
There is a Hell
Believe me, I've seen it

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Oh, if we make it through the night, if we make it out alive
Lord, have mercy and pray for the dead
And you say that you can save me, don't hope to ever find me
And I fear I'm too far gone, pray for the dead
Oh, if we make it through the night, if we make it out alive
Lord, have mercy and pray for the dead
And you say that you can save me, don't hope to ever find me
And I fear I'm too far gone, pray for the dead

[Post-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Pray for the dead, pray for the dead
Pray for the dead, yeah

[Interlude: Oli Sykes]
Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your full undivided attention?
There's something you all really need to know

[Pre-Chorus: Lights]
There is a Hell, believe me, I've seen it
There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret
There is a Hell
Believe me, I've seen it
There is a Hell, believe me, I've seen it
There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret
There is a Hell
Believe me, I've seen it

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
If we make it through the night, if we make it out alive
You said that you can save me, don't hope to ever find me
And I fear I'm too far gone, pray for the dead
Oh, if we make it through the night, if we make it out alive
Lord, have mercy and pray for the dead
And you say that you can save me, don't hope to ever find me
And I fear I'm too far gone, pray for the dead

[Outro: Oli Sykes & Lights]
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me
I am the ocean, I am the sea
There is a world inside of me

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.
