Sacrifice

There's a tale they told Of a noble animal with a taste for wrong and right That wouldn't show it's teeth To the shepherd or his sheep But the hunger never died A hundred years of swallowed tears When only blood could pay the price Would you sacrifice? Would you sacrifice? Would you sacrifice? Would you sell your soul? Would you live out on your own Like a killer in the night Before the setting sun If you don't unload the gun Then one day you'll leave behind So much pain and heavy blame Even though death won't make it right Would you sacrifice? Would you sacrifice? Would you sacrifice And bring an end to light? Would you sacrifice? Lay at the alter again and again Numbness For the strong to survive Witness The weakest among us must die Would you sacrifice? Would you sacrifice? Would you sacrifice And bring an end to light? Would you sacrifice?
