Black Veil Brides begins its next chapter by revisiting a feeling from the past. The band have just released new single “Saviour II”, which if you’re a fan of the band, you’ll realize is a follow up to their early career track “Saviour”.
Vocalist Andy Biersack said: “Black Veil Brides have always been a band deeply connected to our fan base and our career has been based so heavily on the doors opened to us by the passion and dedication that the Army of BVB have always shown for us. . When the band started, our song “Saviour” was written as a love letter to them, a chance to tell them that we appreciate you and want to do good with you. As the years pass and lives and times change the one thing that has always been a constant is this connection with our audience and although we are just musicians making records we still want to make our best to provide entertainment, escapism and inspiration to the people who gave us this platform and this song is a chance to reaffirm this message.
“Saviour II” has been chosen to kick off the promotion of the band’s next EP, Mourning, with additional details on the set to be revealed soon. The collection is due out October 21 via Sumerian Records and was produced and mixed by Erik Ron.
The original version of “Saviour” was released in 2011 on the band Set the world on fire album, and it has been a fan favorite in the years since. This new version is accompanied by orchestral accompaniment, which is also represented in the video directed by Vicente Cordero which shows the group playing with violinists, cellist, viola, clarinet and double bass player. Take a closer look and listen below, right below the song’s lyrics. If you like what you hear, “Saviour II” is available on this location.
Black Veil Brides, “Savior II” Lyrics
I never knew how to live alone
Hold my fear in the unknown
And if we only speak in tongues, how can we be heard? Are there any songs that you keep to keep your heart? Let it be the one you use to start yours.
And every word that came from you carried me.So I try my best to be what you made, like a court jester, my smile won’t fade
Give it all, climb to fall into my grave.
Answer the call, living under the influence
You are the one born to save.I grew this heart in a car
I wear a mask to be the star
All the heat and anxiety that still line the road. It’s all I thought I was living for, now I know I’m more than all my scarsSo I try my best to be what you did, like a court jester, my smile won’t fade.
Give it all, climb to fall into my grave.
Answer the call, living under the influence
You are the one born to save.I try my best to be what you made, like a court jester, my smile won’t fade.
Giving it all to fall in my grave
Answer the call, living under the influence
You are the one born to save
