sweet sacrifice



i've got the new Evanescence album, "The Open Door". some beautiful songs on it, but in particular i would like to share one about the Christian faith.


"Sweet Sacrifice"



It's true, we're all a little insane

but it's so clear

now that I'm unchained



Fear is in our minds

taking over all the time

fear is only in our minds

but it's taking over all the time



You poor sweet innocent thing

dry your eyes and testify

you know you live to break me - don't deny

sweet sacrifice



One day I'm gonna forget your name

and one sweet day,

you're gonna drown in my lost pain



Fear is in our minds

taking over all the time

fear is only in our minds

but it's taking over all the time



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



I dream in darkness

I sleep to die

erase the silence

erase my life

our burning ashes

blacken the day

a world of nothingness

blow me away



Do you wonder why you hate?

Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?



You poor sweet innocent thing

dry your eyes and testify

you know you live to break me - don't deny

sweet sacrifice
