Heart of Fire
†Black Veil Brides Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving through this world unknown, I've built my life on broken bones
Not living for this anymore, you want a fight I'll bring a war
I feel alive inside I won't be terrorized, I'll take all the blame

This heart of fire is burning proud
I am every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Build your walls but you can't keep me out
I'll burn 'em down

I am every vow you broke, they left for dead and turned to smoke
Arm yourself with words of hate, I'm ripping through the souls you take
I feel alive inside I won't be terrorized, I'll stand up to the pain

This heart of fire is burning proud
I am every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Built your walls but you can't keep me out
Let's burn it down

This heart of fire is burning proud
I am every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Build your walls but you can't keep me out

This heart of fire, fire, fire




This heart of fire (fire), fire (fire), fire (fire)
This heart of fire

He's ready to fight back, even if it means going to war.


The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's resolve. His "heart of fire" is burning proud and he is "every dream you lost and never found." He's not afraid to tear down walls that stand in his way or to confront those who have wronged him. He's both powerful and free, unburdened by the expectations of others. The repeated refrain of "This heart of fire" reinforces this message of inner strength and determination. The song is a call to arms for anyone who has ever been underestimated or overlooked, a reminder that we all have the power within us to overcome life's obstacles and achieve our dreams.

Driving through this world unknown,
I've built my life on broken bones.
Not living for this anymore,
You want a fight... I'll bring a war!

I feel alive inside
I won't be terrorized,
I'll take all the blame.

This heart of fire is burning proud
I am every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Build your walls but you can't keep me out
I'll burn them down.

I am every vow you broke,
They left for dead and turned to smoke.
Arm yourself with words of hate,
I'm ripping through the souls you take.

I feel alive inside
I won't be terrorized,
I'll stand up to the pain.

This heart of fire is burning proud.
I am every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Build your walls but you can't keep me out
