"Bone Church" is a song by Slipknot. It's the second stand-alone single after "All Out Life".

Background[]

On February 2nd, 2023 at around 11am (est), people who were signed up to Slipknot's official newsletter received an email containing a textless version of the single's artwork. Upon clicking on the artwork, they would then be redirected to the song's music video.[1] Roughly an hour later, Slipknot officially released the song.[2]

"On the road, we have a 'jam room' set up backstage at every show, where we play, practice, warm up and sometimes try out new ideas. 'Bone Church' started life in a jam room on the .5: The Gray Chapter tour. We've been bringing it closer and closer to life ever since, and finally, here it is. This one is for the fans - a further vision deeper into Slipknot's history, which is still being written. Enjoy."

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Burned my hands, wrapped around the sun
Raise my walls, but the damage is done
I see bugs from the corner of my eyes
Just a shadow, a figment, another empty lie

[Chorus]
We kill what we love
We love what we kill
Nothing ever changes
Oh, nothing ever will

[Verse 2]
At my heart is a memory of the pain
I don't need a miracle
Prayers will not save me again
Again!
Prayers will not save me again
Prayers will not save me again
Prayers will not save me again

[Chorus]
Wе kill what we love
Oh, we lovе what we kill

[Verse 3]
Do no harm, reminders of the flesh
Blinded storms, the ignorance of ash
One man's jewel is another's moistened knife
Another coward, another cripple, another savior in the light
Don't take the place of my sins
Prayers will not save me again

[Outro]
Prayers will not save me again
