Meaning[]
"[Richard Villa] is very much into biblical stories, and he found the whole story of the fallen angels who were the ultimate outcasts. They weren't sent to hell, but they weren't allowed in heaven. They had nowhere to go. They weren't human, either, so they had this lonely existence. They wound up banding together and creating their own gang of sorts. We really liked that and wound up writing a song very much based on how we could equate that to our lives." -Andy Biersack
Lyrics[]
Scream, shout
Scream, shout
We are the fallen angels
We are the in between
Cast down as sons of war
Struck to the earth like lightning
On this world we're torn
We won't cause the pain
Of living out their law
Take joy in who you are
We know our wings are flawed
We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves
We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
To those who sing along
No need to feel the sorrow
We scream, we shout
Woah oh, we are the fallen angels
Follow the mourning star
A light when darkness fell
The passion left unholy
Now you find yourself
We have nowhere to go
No one to wish us well
A cry to find our home
Our stories they will tell
We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves
We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
To those who sing along
No need to feel the sorrow
We scream, we shout
Woah oh, we are the fallen angels
Scream, shout, we are the fallen angels
Scream, shout, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
To those who sing along
No need to feel the sorrow
We scream, we shout
Woah oh, we are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
We shout
Whoa oh, we are the fallen angels
