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:
Show me a sign, show me a reason to give
A solitary fuck about your god damn beliefs
I'm going blind, but one thing's clear
Death is the only salvation you'll feel
Brick by brick by brick...
Brick by brick by brick...
What you call faith, I call a sorry excuse
Cloak and daggers murder the truth
A bitter taste, there's nothing else
I'll bow for your king when he shows himself
Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Is burning a thousand suns
Show me your face, show me a reason to think
My soul can't be saved if I sell you my sins
I'm going blind, but one thing's clear
Death is the only salvation for me
Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Is burning a thousand suns
(The house of wolves you built)
(The nest of wolves you built)
The house of wolves you built
Will burn just like a thousand suns
So when you die, the only kingdom you'll see—
Is two-foot wide and six feet deep!
Yeah!
And when you die, the only kingdom you'll see—
Is two-foot wide and six feet deep!
And when you die, the only kingdom you'll see—
Is two-foot wide and six feet deep!
Brick by brick by brick...
Brick by brick by brick...
Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Is burning a thousand suns
Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Will burn just like a thousand suns
You said you want me?
Now I'm here, now I'm here, now I'm here!
You said you want me?
Now I'm here, now I'm here, now I'm here!
