Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My love, you're in my heart
It was preordained that we should part
We're united by and by, united by and by
Goodbye
No handshake to endure, there was nothing
[Chorus]
It was written in blood
It was written in blood
Oh god, written in blood
It was written in blood
It was written in blood
Oh my god, it was written in blood
Inside no sadness, for a prowl
As nothing new lay dying now
Inside no sadness, for a prowl
And nothing new lay dying now
And it was written in blood
It was written in blood
It was written in blood
It was written in blood
Oh my god, it was written in blood
It was written in blood
It was written in blood
Oh my god!
It was written, in blood
On a suicide note
Like roses, we blossom and die
Like roses, we blossom and die
Like roses, we blossom and die
We fall apart (Die)
We fall apart (Die)
Like roses, we blossom and die
Like roses, we blossom and die
We fall apart
We fall apart
Like roses
We've fallen apart, fallen apart
It was written in blood
On a fucking suicide note
The night before he died
[Chorus]
Like roses, we blossom and die
Like roses, we blossom and die
We've fallen apart (Fallen apart!)
We've fallen apart (Fallen apart!)
Fallen apart
We've fallen
These roses, white roses
Roses
My roses
White roses

Traduzione It Was Written In Blood
Addio amico mio
Addio amore mio
Sei nel mio cuore
Era prestabilito che ci saremmo dovuti dividere
E riunire poco dopo
Riunire poco dopo
Addio!
Nessuna stretta di mano da far durare
No, non c'era niente
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Oh dio, scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Oh mio dio, era scritto nel sangue
Non dobbiamo essere tristi
Sopracciglia aggrottate
Non c'è nulla di nuovo
Che sta morendo ora
Non dobbiamo essere tristi
Sopracciglia aggrottate
Non c'è nulla di nuovo
Che sta morendo ora
Anche se vivere non è più nuovo
Anche se vivere non è più nuovo
E era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Oh dio, scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Oh mio Dio!
Era scritto...
Nel sangue!
Su un biglietto di suicidio
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Siamo divisi!
(Morti)
Siamo divisi!
Divisi!
(Morti)
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Siamo divisi!
Siamo divisi!
Come rose
Ci siamo divisi
Divisi!
Anche se vivere non è più nuovo
Anche se vivere non è più nuovo
Era scritto nel sangue
Su un fottuto biglietto di suicidio
La notte prima che morisse
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Mio dio, scritto nel sangue!
Era scritto nel sangue
Era scritto nel sangue
Oh mio Dio!
Era scritto...
Nel sangue!
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Come rose
Sbocciamo e poi moriamo!
Siamo divisi!
Divisi!
Ci siamo divisi
Divisi!
Divisi!
Cadiamo!
Come rose
Come rose
Rose!
Come rose
Rose!
Come rose
Come rose
Come rose
Come rose
Come rose

Whatever era of BMTH you are in to, one thing you have to admit is that Oli is a great lyricist
Alexander Mżelski
Because he took a great poem and added like two lines, lol
shady
@Alexander Mżelski i mean the poem is done being recited like a minute into the song. The rest of the song repeats alot about “roses” and “we blossom and die” which are not from the poem. Also turning a poem like that that would take 10 seconds to recite into a 4 minute metalcore song is pretty impressive
thescenetimecontinuum!
@shady how exactly is it impressive? writing a basic song with basic lyrics that are directly based off someone else's work is not impressive in the slightest...
shady
@thescenetimecontinuum! oh okay then you can easily take some random edgar allen poe poem and turn it into a 4 minute metal core deep cut off a sophmore album that garners 700k views in less than a decade. Ill be waiting.

I miss their old sound, but I embraced the new. I love them in their entirety.
Justin Mccormick
Brandon Burrow finally someone that just appreciates their artistic ability, yeah I wish they still had this sound. But for the sake of his voice they changed their sound and they are still breaking boundaries.
