[Verse 1]
And this is what you get
When you compel the pain
And this is where you rest
Above a glowing flame
[Refrain]
I'll see you for what you are
I'll free you, I'll watch you fall
[Pre-Chorus]
And you take
Take
[Chorus]
Need the needing
Want the wanting
Victim, the victim
Live for dying
Sanctified
The victim, victim
[Verse 2]
And this is who you are
A figment of yourself
And this is where you fall
Beneath the lowest hell
[Refrain]
I see you, nowhere to hide
Rip out your heart, crawl back inside
[Pre-Chorus]
And you take
Take
[Chorus]
Need the needing
Want the wanting
Victim, the victim
Live for dying
Crucified
The victim, victim
[Bridge]
Parade of martyrs
March to the slaughter
Invent a mission
Believe your fiction
[Outro]
You are the only one you're saving
There's nothin' left but still you're taking
Still you take, take
Take, take, take, take
