Pray For Plague
Bring Me the Horizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
The sun goes down, and so does she.
Sold out the love that she had, with a cut of the throat,
Drinks all round on her, before she sails to the moat
The sun goes down, and so does she
Oh,
Count,
Count your fucking blessings.
Come on,
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie,
Count your blessings, 'cause I'm counting every lie,
Counting every lie.
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing,
I'm asking you for just one thing,
Eradicate this disease.
Close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our dooms day,
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Cleanse this Earth and bring dooms day,
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick,
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers flow with blood, death will stand where life once stood,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch this rivers turn to blood, death will stand where life once stood,
Close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Cleanse this Earth, bring our dooms day

@BrandonPerezOne
Imagine BMTH going mainstream pop and all the new fans decide to check out the early work. I would love to see all their reactions.
@sean.mshane
@QWERTY so are you a new fan or old one
@xray6209
I don't have to imagine, they already are lmao
@GasparOfficial
Man to be honest... I can't stand the music they produce now... absolute bullshit in comparison... this here was lit!
Edit: ty for likes... makes me glad there are still so many old bmth fans. much love! :*
@CybertroninfiniteOfficial
I love their album: Sempiternal, but their old music is decent. New ones, I only like some.
@danielgauthier1327
You spoke too soon man
@scrumptiousburger367
It’s wild to see how much their sound changed across the years. Starting out was Deathcore, then moved to Metalcore, then went pop, and then back to Metalcore now. Maybe their next one’ll be deathcore
@Dayum05144
I'd love how band is going better and had brought heavy back, Oli would feel his scream has improved and had learned a lot, I'd doubt it.
@martinkrafcik4629
i hope so
@ishaanbhattacharya9405
There were just few pop songs , no album was entirely pop.
Just bcz there's no screaming , doesn't mean it's pop
