Sacrifice

We die one thousand deaths

They held us close to taste the flames

A sacrifice

To pacify the god 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

Our 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 condemned waiting to die

In darkest red

Reflecting back beneath the light

We are the sacrifice

Our tainted offering

We are the sacrifice

Now you will share our suffering

In the eyes of our father

From the tears of our mother, shame

We are the sacrifice

Our tainted offering

We are the sacrifice

Now you will share our suffering
