Sacrifice

There's a tale they told
Of a noble animal with a taste for wrong and right
That wouldn't show its 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 mine?
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 mine?
Would you sacrifice?
