Lyrics

Sacrifice

[Intro]

Sacrifice

[Verse 1]

Hail to the gods, the bringers of fortune

Worship the sun, the giver of life

Follow the steps that lead you to heaven

Sacrifice waits for your beating heart

[Chorus]

Blood on stone, holy priest

No escape, no release

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

[Verse 2]

Enter the temple, the altar of stone

Appeasing the gods, you give up your life

Eyes open wide, the priest stands above you

Held in his hands, your still beating heart

[Chorus]

Blood on stone, holy priest

No escape, no release

Sacrifice

Sacrifice

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Civilization lost in the jungle

Forgotten in time, the cities of gold

Carved into stone, the stories before you

When sacrifice claimed the still beating heart

[Chorus]

Blood on stone, holy priest

No escape, no release
