Sweet Sacrifice Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's true, we're all a little insane
But it's so clear
Now that I'm unchained
[Pre-Chorus]
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, oh
[Chorus 1]

Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me
Don't deny, sweet sacrifice
[Verse 2]
One day, I'm gonna forget your name
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear is only in our minds

[Chorus 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
[Bridge]
I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
Erase the silence
Erase my life
Do you wonder why you hate?
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
A world of nothingness
Blow me away
[Outro]
You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me
Don't deny
Sweet sacrifice
