Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have got you in our sights
And thoughts of God are better left alone
It's in your head black n' blue
What they told you wasn't true
Come along and fight with the unknown
The army's grown
Whoa oh oh
This time you'll show all that you can be
Whoa oh oh
Grab your weapons now
We'll run against the crowd
And changing history
So, lets take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battle's 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
Amen
We'll pray to all the wrong decisions
Whoa oh oh
This time you'll show all that you can be
Whoa oh oh
Grab your weapons now
We'll run against the crowd
And changing history
So, lets take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud, be your savior now
The battle's 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
Lets take the vow,
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battle's 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
The lyrics to Black Veil Brides’s song “New Religion” speak of a revolution against society and their exclusion of individuals who fail to conform to their standards of normalcy. The song begins with the line, “Welcome to your life, we have got you in our sights,” which suggests a position of control and authority that the congregation holds over the listener. The next line, “And thoughts of God are better left alone,” suggests a rejection of traditional religious beliefs and the idea that individuals need to find their own path in life.
The song speaks of standing up against wrong decisions and fighting alongside the “congregation,” who are depicted as a group that fights for the rights and freedoms of those who are excluded and not accepted in society. The congregation promises that together, they will overcome suppression and bring about the “new religion.” The final line of the song, “This is the new religion, Amen,” solidifies the message of the song as a call to action for all individuals who feel ostracized and left behind by society.

We are the unholy
We are not accepted by society's standards
We are the bastard sons of your media culture
We were born from the media and culture of society
Our minds, eyes and bodies were born of your exclusion
We were excluded and pushed aside, but now we are strong
An illusion you hide behind
The traditional religious beliefs are a false veil
You don't love a god, you love your comfort
More people are comfortable with societal beliefs than with true faith
To you we are filth, we are dirty, so be it
Society does not accept us, but we accept ourselves
We are dirty and unclean, a congregation of the unseen
We are willfully outsiders who embrace the unknown
Together we will set this world on fire
We will create a revolution that will change everything
This is the new religion
We are introducing and promoting a new set of beliefs
Amen
So be it
