Sweet Blasphemy

Black Veil Brides · We Stitch These Wounds [2010]

Through sadness you have taught us to be one with the crowd

Unveil the sacred order, hymns of falling down

You told the greatest stories, of love and bleeding crowns

But to the sick and hungry, you cannot be found

We are young and we are strong

Through strength in self we become

Something more than they can be

I raise my heart and sing!

That I wont believe this lie

I know there's something more inside

Darkness is all you see

This is our Sweet Blasphemy

Silence the crooked holy, unchain the tied and bound

No time for allegory, one true reigning sound

Unite the lonely mourning, a simple servant now

We are the only glory, hear us screaming loud

We are young and we are strong

I raise my heart and sing!

That I wont believe this lie

I know there's something more inside

Darkness is all you see

This is our Sweet Blasphemy

We are young and we are strong

Through strength in self we become

Something more than they can be

This is our Sweet Blasphemy

That I wont believe this lie

I know there's something more inside

Darkness is all you see

This is our Sweet Blasphemy

That I wont believe this lie

I know there's something more inside

Darkness is all you see

This is our Sweet Blasphemy
