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:
[Deluxe Edition Bonus Disc (The Deathbeds EP) Track]
They drag me underground
The lights are slowly fading
The world I thought I knew
I never knew at all
The dead don't make a sound
Unless you're chasing rainbows
And then they scream your name
Clawing at the gates
So pull me out
And hold me down
Let's find a way
To lose ourselves
Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone
Waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your lonely
Paradise
Are we just dreaming
In the city that never sleeps?
'Cause I can't be seeing
What my eyes tell me
Am I just dreaming?
This can't be in my veins
Everything I ever knew
Will never be the same
(So chew me up, and spit me out
Let's take a way to save ourselves)
So pull me out
And hold me down
Let's find a way
To lose ourselves
Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone
Waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your lonely
Paradise
And now i feel it
Yeah, i feel it in my blood
I can't fight this anymore
I've given up
I've given up
Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone
Waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your lonely
Paradise
Take me to the sun
I feel I'm chasing rainbows
And now I'm lost and all alone
Waiting for a chance to
Sink my teeth into
Another desperation
Now into your lonely
Paradise
YEAAAAAAAH!!
