Revelation
Black Veil Brides Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The glory of a nation dies
The symbol of this war is coming
A warning meant to save our lives from
F.E.A.R.'s religion

Out of the depths we crawled to light
Never give in when the fire rises
Standing here we are unified
Our hearts bear crosses

Can't turn back now

We are, we are the revelation
So scream it out loud
We are, we are the birth of a nation
So join as one
It's time to raise our flags up high
We are, we are the revelation
So scream it out loud

(Woah oh, woah oh)
The sound of a nation
(Woah oh, woah oh)

There are no stars in the sky
No sight of what was freedom
Where do we turn when our brothers die
In a fight worth winning?

We are legions mesmerized
By the fools that killed our vision
Won't stray or apologize
For their decisions

Can't turn back now

We are, we are the revelation
So scream it out loud
We are, we are the birth of a nation
So join as one
It's time to raise our flags up high
We are, we are the revelation
So scream it out loud

(Woah oh, woah oh)
The sound of a nation
(Woah oh, woah oh)
The sound of a nation

Can't turn back now

We are, we are the revelation
So scream it out loud
We are, we are the birth of a nation
So join as one
It's time to raise our flags up high
We are, we are the revelation
So scream it out loud

(Woah oh, woah oh)
The sound of a nation




(Woah oh, woah oh)
The sound of a nation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Black Veil Brides' song "Revelation" speak of a cathartic struggle for freedom, both in the context of personal battles and as a symbolic representation of a nation's fight for independence. The song opens with a poignant line, "The glory of a nation dies," which evokes a sense of loss and a call for action. The next line introduces the central metaphor of the song, the symbol of an ongoing war that is coming. The impending conflict serves as a warning to save lives from the religious fervor of F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real).


The following lines describe the struggle to rise out of the depths and stand unified while bearing individual crosses. The chorus, with its emphatic repetition of "We are the revelation," is a rallying cry for change, for a new beginning, and for a birth of a nation. The sound of a nation in the chorus emphasizes the power and importance of unity in the face of overwhelming adversity.


The second verse laments the absence of stars in the sky, a poignant image for the loss of hope and freedom. The lyrics speak of the struggles that come with fighting for a cause worth winning, of staying true to one's beliefs in the face of opposition, and of standing as legions united against those who would stifle their vision. The chorus of the song repeats, urging listeners to come together and raise their flags high in unity.
