BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Wretched And Divine

I am the innocent
I am what could have been
The dreams you talk about,
Now left on broken skin
Here lies hysteria,
A land where chaos reigns
Global Disturbia,
Bows down to twisted ways.

A world of hate awaits
We are The Wild Ones
They all look the same…
Our time has come

I am the chosen,
Wretched and Divine
I am the unspoken,
The one they left behind
Fearless, fight until we die
I am broken
The Wretched and Divine

I am the Devil’s smile,
The one caught everyday
A hopeful hero’s speech
Won’t stop the years you bleed
I am a hurricane,
And Army strong as one
As they sit back and laugh
The one you left has just begun

A world of hate awaits
We are The Wild Ones
They all look the same…
Our time has come

I am the chosen,
Wretched and Divine
I am the unspoken,
The one they left behind
Fearless, fight until we die
I am broken
The Wretched and Divine

We live for broken hearts,
Won’t watch them fall apart
We live for the ones
Who don’t know they exist
We die for endless winter,
Beginner and the sinner
We die for the ones
Who raise their hands to resist

I am the chosen,
Wretched and Divine
I am the unspoken,
The one they left behind
Fearless, fight until we die
I am broken
The Wretched and Divine

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – We Stitch These Wounds

You kissed the lips of evil,
Two months is all the same.
I begged for the mans approval,
Like all the rest you’ll die in vain.

Sit down with thoughts alone now,
Off my chest these lyrics came.
Your words can eat right through me,
Dead could hear my shame.

The tears we’ve cried, this love has died,
You’re by yourself here tonight.
It’s what we hide with every lie,
Your by yourself.

I think of it each time I touch you,
Or every time I hear his name.
These walls will never crumble,
Here’s our cause to blame.

Sit down with thoughts alone now,
Off my chest these lyrics came.
Your words can eat right through me,
Dead could hear my shame.

The tears we’ve cried, this love has died,
You’re by yourself here tonight.
It’s what we hide with every lie,
Your by yourself.

We stitch these wounds.
We stitch these wounds.
We stitch these wounds.
Liar, liar, liar, oh

The tears we’ve cried, this love has died,
You’re by yourself with me tonight.
It’s what we hide with every lie,
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.

The tears we’ve cried, this love has died,
You’re by yourself with me tonight.
It’s what we hide with every lie,
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.

Liar!
Liar!
Liar say goodbye!

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – We Don’t Belong

The gates of heaven were locked shut
The pits of hell they were all filled up
And I fear I don’t belong here
Yeah
They might call me a sinner
A walking flame from the fire that burns
Disappear, you don’t belong here
Yeah

The church of fear
The church of failure
The church of fools
So call me a nothing
Call me a something
Treat me cruel

Hey!
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here, we don’t belong
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here
It’s the anthem of the underground
So get back up when they push you down
We’re singing
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here, we don’t belong
(We don’t belong, we don’t belong, we don’t belong)

Who can here give a march of the rejects
Line up a parade of the defects
Can I hear we don’t belong here

So rise from the darkness
Eyes of the dismissed
Hearts of the used
Show me your worst
Show me your cursed
Tell me the truth

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here, we don’t belong
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here
It’s the anthem of the underground
So get back up when they push you down
We’re singing
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here, we don’t belong

(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
The gates of heaven were locked shut
The pits of hell they were all filled up
And I fear I don’t belong here
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here, we don’t belong
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here
It’s the anthem of the underground
So get back up when they push you down
We’re singing
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
We don’t belong here, we don’t belong

When you’re alone
We don’t belong
I don’t belong

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Unbroken

Now you’re adrift in the sea of lies
A foolish villain in an endless chapter
The demons running behind your eyes
A simple shadow
We can fight together

I’ll never walk away
Tear down! the walls that will surround
Cry out! Above the burning sound
Show me! How bleeding hearts still pound
If we stand together, we will be unbroken!

We carry forward into the night
The strength of innocence like children’s laughter
An army standing for what is right
We’ll fall like angels if we lose what matters

I will not walk away
Tear down! the walls that will surround
Cry out! Above the burning sound
Show me! How bleeding hearts still pound
If we stand together, we will be unbroken!

(Woah Woahh…)

We will not walk away
Tear down! the walls that will surround
Cry out! above the burning sound
Show me! how bleeding hearts still pound
If we stand together, we will be unbroken!

Tear down! the walls that will surround
Cry out! above the burning sound
Show me! how bleeding hearts still pound
If we stand together, we will be unbroken!

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – This Prayer For You

Let’s go!

As I wrote this prayer for you
Wishing I believe in something more
This grave is dug for you is sinking

Like each lit cigarette we burn
Our best when no one is around
But it’s not my vanity
You’re missing

Black roses on graves
Well it pains to say

Take me away
(Write our names in blood)
Hold on to me
(Never let go)

Take me away
(Write our names in blood)
Hold on to me
(Never let go)

Well I’ve got my skeletons with skill
I hide them deep within my seams
But this line of it has left me… empty

Well I’ve got my sympathy it’s played
Along on post traumatic scenes
But it’s not my vanity
You’re missing

Black roses on graves
Well it pains to say

Take me away
(Write our names in blood)
Hold on to me
(Never let go)

Take me away
(Write our names in blood)
Hold on to me
(Never let go)

Black roses on graves
It pains to say

Black roses on graves
Well it pains to say

Take me away
(Write our names in blood)
Hold on to me
(Never let go)

Take me away
(Write our names in blood)
Hold on to me

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – The Legacy

Racing faster,
Escape disaster,
Partners in crime will leave their mark
We make our own way,
No thoughts of yesterday,
Black hearts of chrome and battle scars
(Chrome and battle scars)
Oh.

The legacy,
Born from a dream,
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hands on destiny,

We came from nothing,
But promise one thing,
We’ll change the world with these guitars,
So listen closely,
And don’t stop working,
No one can tell you who you are
(Tell you who you are)
Oh,

The legacy,
Born from a dream,
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hands on destiny,
The legacy,
Born from a dream,
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hands on destiny,

Aaaahhh, ouch ow

Born from a dream,
On leather wings,
Rose from the streets,
With the hands on destiny,

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Smoke And Mirrors

Quiet as I watch you falling
You become the prey again
I can see your skin is crawling
Lipstick cases and sins

Wake up Wake up Wake up
You’re drowning
Same old song and dance
Wake up Wake up Wake up
My Darling
Never stood a chance

Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

I hear it in her voice, she’s stalling
“You were just another man”
Your claims of love are falling
Now it’s clear you can’t win

Wake up wake up wake up
Heart’s pounding
Praying for romance
Wake up wake up wake up
It’s sounding
Time to try again

Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors
Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

I’d rather be alone
Than put you on a throne
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors

Black painted eyes
Cover the lies
It’s time you threw away your cruel disguise

Lost in love you are
Out of touch so far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

Always chasing scars
Never gets you far
An illusion
It’s all just smoke and mirrors

I’d rather be alone
Than put you on a throne
And lose my faith in smoke and mirrors

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Set The World On Fire

Saints born together to fight against their holy fables
The streets are where we pray
Hymns for the lonely, wretched and forgotten
The feeling in our hearts won’t ever fade away

We stand tall (united)
Watch them fall (divided)
Break the chains and now we’ll show them all (fight)

Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Sing out united against the ones you left in hatred
Our message of today
Like children crying when all they knew was dying
And we will raise our flags up
It’s time for them to pay

We stand tall (united)
Watch them fall (divided)
Break the chains and now we’ll show them all (fight)

Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Woahh ohhh
So sing it loud you hold the key (woahh ohhh)
We’re the rebels and we’re free
Woahh ohhh
It’s time to burn all that you see (woahh ohhh)
Now the world belongs to me

[Solo]

Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Proud in all you are
Showing every scar
As your badge of honor
When you can’t take anymore
Of what they’re living for
Set the world on fire

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Shadows Die

Tear down the cross
Splinters and shards, remember
This trojan horse
Woe to the land we enter

We’ll burn away
And free our fallen brothers
From shadow’s reign
Lost here and bought on soldiers

Yeah!

Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
The church of lies
Can’t tell me what is right

All of your victories and dies what you won
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
Feel alive

I feel alive, yeah

In fearing fame
The kingdom’s lion freedom
The days and nights
We live this war of wisdom

The streets are stained
With blood that ran their kingdom
And feed the beast
Then lies beneath our treason

Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
The church of lies
Can’t tell me what is right

All of your victories and dies what you won
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
Feel alive

FEAR round up these rebels
These deviants, these so-called Wild Ones
We will lecture the streets where they’re found
And annihilate the dangerous
And the truths ideas poisoned your children
Endangering your freedom
Giving rise to the destruction
And the benevolent future we have prepared for you
You belong to the shadows
The shadows are where you will remain safe
Do not disobey

Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
The church of lies
Can’t tell me what is right

All of your victories and dies what you won
Let shadows die
So I can feel alive
Feel alive

(I feel alive)

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Saviour

I never meant to be the one
Who kept you from the dark
But now I know my wounds are sewn
Because of who you are
I will take this burden on
And become the holy one
But remember I am human
And I’m bound to sing this song

So hear my voice, remind you not to bleed
I am here, saviour
Will be there
When you are feeling alone, oh
A Saviour
For all that you do
So you live freely without their harm

So here I write my lullaby
To all the lonely ones
Remember as you learn to try
To be the one you love
So I can take this pen
And teach you how to live
What is left unsaid
The greatest gift I give

So hear my voice, remind you not to bleed
I am here, saviour
Will be there
When you are feeling alone, oh
A Saviour,
For all that you do
So you live freely without their harm

[Violin solo]

Saviour
Will be there
When you are feeling alone, oh
A Saviour,
For all that you do
So you live freely without their harm

When I hear your cries
Praying for life
I will be there

When I hear your cries
Praying for life
I will be there

I will be there!
I will always be there!
I will be there!

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Ritual

Praying for what your heart brings
Thoughts of escape and bloodshot eyes
You’re barely sleeping, no longer dreaming
Now what you do to feel alive

Rise up and celebrate your life
We’re not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Singing songs of the old days
Try to remember what’s gone by
Stronger in new ways
Don’t care what they say,
This is your life
It’s time to rejoice

Rise up and celebrate your life
We’re not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Our destiny is what we learned
Together wanting something more
Their misery and demons burn
A feeling that’s worth fighting for

[x2:]
Rise up and celebrate your life
We’re not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Becoming one with our ritual

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Rebel Yell

Last night a little dancer, came dancin’ through my door
Last night a little angel, came pumping on my floor
She said come on baby, I’ve got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above, because

In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
More, more, more!

She don’t like slavery, she won’t sit and beg
But when I’m tired and lonely she gives me head
I said, what sets you free and brought you to me, babe
What sets you free, I need you here by me, because

In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well, he’s out all night to collect a fare
Just as long, just as long it don’t mess up his hair

I walked the world, with you, babe
A thousand times, with you
I dried your tears, of pain, babe
A million times, for you

I’d sell my soul, for you, babe
For money to burn, with you
I’d give you all, and have none, babe
Just to, just to, just to, just to, to have you here by me, because

In the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
More, more, more!

Ooh yeah, little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more!
Ooh yeah, little angel
She want more
More, more, more, more, more!

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Rebel Love Song

I cannot hide what’s on my mind
I feel it burning deep inside
A passion crime to take what’s mine
Let us start living for today

Never gonna’ change my mind
We can leave it all behind

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – Youth And Whisky

These words are burning inside of me
Spent years in liquid harmony
This dream is who I wanna be
Youth and Whiskey

I grew from those who hate me
Stead fast to a razor-blade symphony
Cigarettes and lyrics made me
Youth and Whiskey

Can you see
Can you see me
I’m strong from what they made me
These Angels who carried me
They taught me
Youth and Whiskey

Baptized in smoke and misery
A loaded gun in a bastard’s history
My temple’s full of crazy
Youth and Whiskey

No sorrow left inside me
Celebrate the moments behind me
This shot is Holy Mary
Youth and Whiskey

Can you see
Can you see me
I’m strong from what they made me
These Angels who carried me
They taught me
Youth and Whiskey

(Hey, hey) Brothers
(Hey, hey) Fighters
(Hey, hey) Bottles living for another round
(Hey, hey) Lovers
(Hey, hey) Liars
(Hey, hey) Throttle speeding towards a blackout

(Blackout!)
Ah!

[Jake Pitts guitar solo]

Can you see
Can you see me
I’m strong from what they made me
These Angels who carried me
They taught me
Youth and Whiskey

BLACK VEIL BRIDES – New Religion

Welcome to your life
We’ve got you in our sights
And thoughts of God are better left alone

It’s in your head black and blue
What they told you wasn’t true
Come along and fight with the unknown
The army’s grown

We’ll pray to all the wrong decisions,
Woah oh oh
This time you’ll show all you can be,
Woah oh oh
Grab your weapons now, we’ll run against the crowd
And changing history

So, let’s take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion

Your voice is proud

Be your saviour now
The battles won for the new religion

No one can defeat what the congregation speaks
Bound together the flag that we defend
They made a fool out of you
But you knew just what to do

Raise your fists up and stand until the end
(I pray)

We’ll pray to all the wrong decisions,
Woah oh oh
This time you’ll show all you can be,
Woah oh oh
Grab your weapons now, we’ll run against the crowd
And changing history

So, let’s take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion

Your voice is proud

Be your saviour now
The battles won for the new religion

Come now and imagine with me
Taking back a world that once was ours
Let’s regain the power
And then we will end what we’ve begun

Rawr!

Let’s take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion

Your voice is proud

Be your saviour now
The battles won for the new religion

We are the unholy,
We are the bastard sons of your media culture.
Our minds, eyes, and bodies were born of your exclusion
An illusion you hide behind

You don’t love a God, you love your comfort!
To you we are filth, we are dirty, so be it.
We are dirty and unclean, a congregation of the unseen

Together we will set this world on fire!

This is the new religion,
Amen!

You got me on my knees
You steal all my innocence
A love sick melody

Black Veil Brides – In The End

In the end
As we fade into the night
(Whoa)
Who will tell
The story of your life?

In the end
As my soul’s laid to rest

Born a saint
But with every sin
I still want to be holy
I will live
Again

Who we are
Isn’t how we live
We are more than our bodies
If I fall
I will rise back up
And relive my glory

In the end
As we fade into the night
(Whoa)
Who will tell
The story of your life?
