Sempiternal is the fourth studio album by British metalcore band Bring Me the Horizon. It was released on 1 April 2013 worldwide through RCA, a subsidiary label of Sony Music Entertainment, and 2 April 2013 in the United States and Canada through Epitaph. It is the first album to feature keyboardist Jordan Fish and was believed to be the last album to feature guitarist Jona Weinhofen. However, Weinhofen's role within the album's development has been faced with controversy. Written and recorded throughout 2012, Sempiternal showed the band pool diverse influences from electronic music, ambient music and pop. "Sempiternal" is an archaic English word denoting the concept of "everlasting time" that can never actually come to pass. It stems from the Latin word "sempiternus" (a concatenation of root "semper" and suffix "aeternum"). The album's cover art is a depiction of the Flower of Life.

Lyrics:
Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!
I'm sick to death of swallowing, every single thing I'm fed.
Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!
You think you're changing anything?
Quick! Change everything!
The world is a shit tip, your children are fucked
The ones you think guard you, are out for your blood
When minds are battered and washed out with style
But what exactly do you think you're gonna do?
United, we'll fail
Divided, we'll fall
We're fucked, but you're makin' it worse
United, we'll fail
Divided, we'll fall
Give up, 'cause you're makin' it so much worse
Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!
I'm sick to death of swallowing every single thing I'm fed
Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!
You think you're changing anything?
Quick! Change everything!
Oh, give me a break you deluded, ireful, self-serving prick
If you really believe in the words that you preach,
Get off your screens, and onto the streets
There will be no peaceful revolution!
No war without blood!
You can say I'm just a fool, that stands for nothing
Well, to that,
I say you're a cunt!
(Kick it!)
United, we'll fail
Divided, we'll fall
United, we'll fail
We're fucked, but you're makin' it worse!
Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!
I'm sick to death of swallowing every single thing I'm fed.
Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!
You think you're changing anything?
Quick! Change everything!
