BLACK VEIL BRIDES
"Last Rites"
(Andy Biersack Abiersack / Christian Coma / Jinxx / Nick Long / Jake Pitts / Ashley Purdy)

Children born and raised on a Sunday
Hearing what their leaders say
Singing along
A story missing to the ones who won't listen
All the words are left alone
But I've been running out
Fighting to stay above the line and
I can feel the Devil is close so

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's gonna follow me down
It's gonna follow me down (Gonna follow!)

[Chorus 1:]
Last rites in a lost city
I can't fight for a life I've never known
Dark lights giving no pity
Last rites for a place I call my home

Fear is in the war for society
Hungry for the heresy
Never atone
A spark that glistens for the
Souls of a mission
Canonize this pile of stones
But I'm rebelling now
Fighting to save my only life and
I can feel the rapture is close so

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's gonna follow me down
It's gonna follow me down (Gonna follow!)

[Chorus 2:]
Last rites in a lost city
I can't fight for a life I've never known
Dark lights giving no pity
Last rites for a place I call my home
For a place I call my home
For a place I call my home!

[Bridge:]
Sanctus
Dominus
I am left alone

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2:]
Last rites in a lost city
I can't fight for a life I've never known
Dark lights giving no pity
Last rites for a place I call my home
For a place I call my home
For a place I call my home!
