Lyrics

Sacrifice

[Verse 1]

Can you hear the war cry?

It's time to enlist

The people speak as one

The cattle, the crowd

Those too afraid to live

[Chorus]

Demand a sacrifice

Demand a sacrifice

Demand a sacrifice

Of your life

Sacrifice (of your life)

[Verse 2]

Can you smell their stinking breath?

Listen to them

Wheezing and gasping and

Chanting their slogans

It's a grave digger's song

Praising God & State

So the Nation will live

So we all can remain as cattle

[Chorus]

They demand a sacrifice

They demand a sacrifice

They demand a sacrifice of your life

[Outro]

Sacrifice of your life

Sacrifice
