Remember the moment you left me alone and
Broke every promise you ever made
I was an ocean, lost in the open
Nothing could take the pain away

So you can throw me to the wolves
Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack
Beat me black and blue
Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne

The sticks and the stones that you used to throw have
Built me an empire, so don't even try
To cry me a river 'cause I forgive you
You are the reason I still fight

So you can throw me to the wolves
Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack
Beat me black and blue
Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne

So you can throw me to the wolves
Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack
Beat me black and blue
Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne

I'll leave you choking on every word you left unspoken
Rebuild all that you've broken, and now you know
I'll leave you choking on every word you left unspoken
Rebuild all that you've broken, and now you know
Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne

So you can throw me to the wolves
Tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack
Beat me black and blue
Every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne

People, it’s ON: the rumoured feud between Bring Me The Horizon and Coldplay stepped up to the next level at this year’s NME Awards, when Oli Sykes decided to perform – in the middle of Coldplay’s table. 

Sending glasses and wine bottles flying during BMTH’s performance of ‘Happy Song’, Oli strolled off the stage, used Chris Martin’s chair to hop onto the table where Coldplay were sitting, before it collapsed and he jumped off, making a beeline for the pit of fans watching the show.

While guests at the awards show looked bemused – including Coldplay, who looked like they didn’t know what the hell just happened, with guitarist Johnny Buckland having to dive out of the way  – fans and photographers loved it, swarming Oli as he and BMTH belted the rest of the lead single from their 2015 album, That’s The Spirit. 

Afterwards, Chris Martin allegedly told reporters that he had never heard of Bring Me The Horizon before that night, but that he thought Oli’s impromptu table-crashing “was great, very rock n roll.”

Luckily YouTuber Zoe London was on hand to capture the whole incident – watch her video below:

Oli’s table dancing comes off the back of last year’s controversy surrounding Coldplay’s A Head Full Of Dreams cover art, which uses the same ‘flower of life’ symbol featured on BMTH’s huge 2012 album, Sempiternal. When Coldplay posted their new album art, Oli Sykes tweeted “@coldplay Jackin our steez hard” and told the NME that Chris Martin and co. must have been aware of his band’s strong association with the symbol.

“At the end of the day it’s not our symbol, it’s a very old symbol. They might not have known at first, but obviously if you Google ‘flower of life’ the first thing that comes up is ‘Bring Me The Horizon—Sempiternal,’ it’s like, if you Google the images, someone’s gonna have said something to them, so whether it was intentional or not, it is the same,” he said in 2015. 

Whether Chris Martin knew about Bring Me The Horizon or not last year, he most definitely does now.

UPDATE: Speaking to NME after the performance keyboardist Jordan Fish said: "I don't think [Oli] was aiming for Coldplay. It was just whoever was nearest, it [just] happened to be Coldplay".

Sykes himself explained: "I had no sound in my ears so I thought 'Well, there might be sound out there.' There weren't sound out there so when I came back there was a table, which I got on. There wasn't any sound on there, but it was a bit more energetic up there. It was in no way a protest against Coldplay."

S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit
Let's hear it
S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit
Let's hear it, let's go

I've had enough
There's a voice in my head, says I'm better off dead
But if I sing along a little fucking louder
To a happy song, I'll be alright

You want to give up
Gave it all that you've got and it still doesn't cut
But if you sing along a little fucking louder
To a happy song, you'll be just fine, 'cause

Every now and again we get that feeling (Singing!)
And the great big void inside us opens up
And I really wish that you could help, but my head is like a carousel
And I'm going 'round in circles, I'm going 'round in circles, yeah

S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit
Let's hear it (Get the fuck up)
S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit
Let's hear it

We are possessed
We're all fucked in the head, alone and depressed
But if we sing along a little fucking louder
To a happy song, maybe we'll forget, 'cause

Every now and again we get that feeling (I can't hear you)
And the great big void inside us opens up
And I really wish that you could help, but my head is like a carousel
And I'm going 'round in circles, I'm going 'round in circles

Don't wake us up, we'd rather just keep dreaming
'Cause the nightmares in our heads are bad enough
And I really wish that you could help, but my head is like a carousel
And I'm going 'round in circles, I'm going 'round in circles

The world has coalesced
Into one giant mess of hate and unrest
So let's all sing along a little goddamn louder
To a happy song and pretend it's all okay (Let's go)

So let's sing along
Let's sing along
A little fucking louder
A little fucking louder
Well, don't you feel so much better?

S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit
Let's hear it (Well, that's the spirit)
S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit
Let's hear it (Yeah, that's the spirit)
