Sacrifice Lyrics

we die one thousand deaths

they held us close to taste the flames

a sacrifice

to pacify the gods they've made



the stench of stagnant blood

collects in pools of misery

they drained from us and stained

themselves in blasphemy



we are the sacrifice

your tainted offering

we are the sacrifice

now you will share our suffering



we steal a final breath



a tattered veil averts our eyes

from their hypocrisy

their cruel intent hidden by lies

the silence lingering

like the condemed waiting to die

in darkest red

reflecting black beneath the light



(repeat chorus)



in the eyes of our father

from the tears of our mother

IN THE EYES OF YOUR FATHER

FROM THE TEARS OF YOUR MOTHER

IN THE EYES OF YOUR FATHER

FROM THE TEARS OF YOUR MOTHER'S SHAME

SHAME!



(repeat chorus)
