The Sacrifice: Lyrics Video & Full Text
Words and music by Ionne
See the light
See the light, see the world in limbo
See the stars
See the stars and wonder if they'd give more
If we squeezed
If we squeezed just a little harder
Just a little harder now
Just a little harder
Seal the wound
Seal the wound before we make a new one
And bleed as much
Bleed as much, as much as she can stand us
And drink the blood
Drink the blood, but careful not to drink her dry
Careful not to drink her dry
Pretending we're afraid she'd die
Breathe the air
Breathe the air while we still have the air to breath
Taste the earth
Eat the flesh while we still have a mouth to feed
Grip the knife
Undress her for the sacrifice
Glorified
Glorified, "enlightened" generations
The storied lies
Storied lies that built the wealth of nations
And we the fools
More the fools for thinking we deserved it all
Thinking we deserved bliss
Believing we had earned it
So, now we try
Now we try to mock the gods who left us
With bad advice
Bad advice, a self-destructive nexus
We've multiplied
And wasted time while watching her supply run down
Watching her supply run down
We're grabbing at the wedding gown
Breathe the air
Breathe the air while we still have the air to breath
Taste the earth
Eat the flesh while we still have a mouth to feed
Grip the knife
Undress her for the sacrifice
Undress her for the sacrifice
Breathe the air
Breathe the air while we still have the air to breath
Taste the earth
Eat the flesh while we still have a mouth to feed
Grip the knife
Undress her for the sacrifice
Cut the one who gave you life
Cut the one who gave you life
Breathe the air
Taste the earth
Eat the flesh
Grip the knife
Grip the knife undress her for the sacrifice
Cut the one who gave you life
