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:
It's the start of the end
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes
We've been surrounded, by vicious cycles
Are we truly alone?
Discover your heart, yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!
The deeper you dig, the darker it gets
There's nowhere else for us to go
We live while we learn, and then we forget
We'll never find our way back home
Come on!
They came like moths to a flame
You live like a house in a hurricane
(The wolves are at my door)
It's the start of the end
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes
We've been surrounded, by vicious cycles
The end, and we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!
I hear them calling at the gates
(Let us in, let us in)
I hear them calling out my name
(I don't care)
Let them sing, let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let them sing, let them sing
Let the bastards sing
Let the God-forsaken bastards sing
They came like moths, to a flame
You live like a house in a hurricane
The wolves are at my door
But I can see the writing on the walls
The wolves are at my door
Waiting for my empire to fall
It's the start of the end
Surrender the throne
The blood on my hands covered the holes
We've been surrounded, by vicious cycles
Sp call it the end, and we're truly alone
The scars on your heart are yours to atone
We've been surrounded
Let 'em sing, let 'em sing!
