Like Light to the Flies Lyrics
Behold our beloved revels
In tragedy (in tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite
Those who run will be burned(x4)
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to the flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
Behold our beloved revels
In tragedy (in tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite
Those who run will be burned(x4)
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to the flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to the flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
In tragedy (in tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite
This tragedy's like light to the flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
In tragedy (in tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite
This tragedy's like light to the flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
This tragedy's like light to the flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth
Bleeding out the eyes
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies, to make the truth

"This song is about people's attraction to all forms of tragedy. It seems like everywhere you turn to today (e.g., television, newspaper, magazine, movies, etc.) it's all about murder, violence, war, cruelty- and it's because this is what sells; people are totally captivated by subjects in this vein. We are the flies."-Matt Heafy. (lead singer) I got this meaning of the Trivium website, So thats the real meaning..! =)
This song kick's ass. The meaning is that all humans are attracted to pain and suffering.
well done clairvoyant, I never would have got that......Trivium are an amazing band, thier lyrics are really deep and make you think. At first I thought that it was something to do with religion, it mensions god and people say that statues of mary bleed out of the eyes and stuff, but I think that clairvoyant got it right.
excellent song.....the title is cool "like light to the flies" a twist, cos its usually the flies that are attracted tot the light, so maybe instead of humans being attracted to pain, pain finds us, or summit like tht...
"Devoutly wished for blinded eyes"
thts like what clairvoyant said, this line reminds me off people who look for pain, and dont enjoy life, they want the pain to give them something to moan about.......im goin on now. amazing song, trivium rock.
these lyrics are wrong dont argue the lyrics are what the artists say they are and in the album this is not what it says look at the other one that says correct those are correct

Why can't people just shut up about lyrics being right cuz it doesn't matter if they are right or wrong

It's like driving by a car crash,you don't want to look but you do anyway.
PinkPrincess6916: Spot on..
and when you read that meaning/explination, and then read the lyrics, and then look at the song title.. it all makes perfect sense.
awesome song..probably my fav trivium song.
