Sweet Sacrifice

• It’s true, we’re all a little insane.
But it’s so clear,
• Now that I’m unchained.
REFRAIN #1
Fear is only in our minds,
• Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it’s taking over all the time.
REFRAIN #2
• You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
• You know you live to break me. Don’t deny.
Sweet sacrifice.
One day I’m gonna forget your name,
• And one sweet day, you’re gonna drown in my lost pain.
REFRAIN #1
Fear is only in our minds,
• Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it’s taking over all the time.
REFRAIN #2
You poor sweet innocent thing.
• Dry your eyes and testify.
And oh you love to hate me don’t you, honey?
• I’m your sacrifice.
I dream in darkness
• I sleep to die,
Erase the silence,
• Erase my life,
Our burning ashes
• Blacken the day,
A world of nothingness,
• Blow me away.
Do you wonder why you hate?
• Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
REFRAIN #2
You poor sweet innocent thing.
• Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me.
• Don’t deny.
Sweet sacrifice.
