Sacrifice

Started off innocent and in love
Never thought he'd get involved
Never knowing anything but love
Their nation of two broken down
Cracked and weathered - sunk in the ground
Never fading into the blackness

He gave his life to the one he loved
He gave himself over as a sacrifice

Ended up lost and alone
Oh they cut him straight to the bone
Never breaking until he did
Hated by millions and loved by insane
Oh they sliced him right through the veins
Never bleeding until he did

He gave his life to the one he loved
He gave himself to his God above
He gave himself over and he was a sacrifice

Come on

Pretending forced to hide
Behind the mask he wore and
Did they want to shut him down
To cut him off from breathing?
Did they want to break him?

He gave his life to the one he loved
He gave himself to his God above
He gave himself over and he paid the price
He gave himself over as a sacrifice
