Sacrifice
(music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet)

Too much time to get lost in the maze 
Tell me isn't that strange 
You bleed to get there - you are ready 
To be a bird in a golden cage 

Sweat is breaking on my brown 
Where's the freak to ease my pain 
Room is dark and big and empty 
Silence driving me insane 

Night has fallen - Demons laughing 
I'm waiting for the light of day 
Here's the land of milk and honey 
There you got the price to pay 

Searching for shelter 
Riding the pendulum to paradise 
As I'm reaching higher - What a pure desire 
I'm swinging back towards the edge 

And I drift away - killing sacrifice 
Here I go insane 
What a price to pay - Little sacrifice 
I set off to heaven and found bedlam 

There's a part of me that's not been sold 
Save me please embrace me hold me 
Kiss my bleeding soul 
You can't see below the creature 
That's pounding sitting in my neck 
If you'd see inside my head 
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me 

I'm looking for shelter 
Riding the pendulum to paradise 
As I'm reaching higher - What a pure desire 
I'm swinging back towards the abyss 

And I drift away ... 

Nothing remains the same 
But still I here those voices 
Nothing remains the same 
Where am I gonna go is it my destination 
Or just a sick temptation 
And I remember home when demons came 
And I got swept away from me
