Sacrifice Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be touched by the fear in your eyes
I don't wanna be left for my demons to find
When the leaves are gone and the beating's sung
Brings the world bang drums
When the leaves are gone and the beating's sung
Brings the world bang drums

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you, will hold me in the golden afterlife
Yeah, you, you don't have to die alone tonight

[Chorus]
I will find you in a burning sky
Where the ashes rain in your mind
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice
If we're closer to the other side
And the heavens all start to cry
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice

[Verse 2]
Be a dose of protection through the blood and the tears
If you're losing yourself, then my body is here
When the leaves are gone and the beating's sung
Brings the world bang drums
When the leaves are gone and beating's sung
Brings the world bang drums

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you, will hold me in the golden afterlife
Yeah, you, you don't have to die alone tonight

[Chorus]
I will find you in a burning sky
Where the ashes rain in your mind
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice (Sacrifice)
If we're closer to the other side
And the heavens all start to cry
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice (Sacrifice)

[Bridge]
If you start running away there'll be no where to hide
If you start running away there'll be no where to hide

[Chorus]
I will find you in a burning sky
Where the ashes rain in your mind
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice
If we're closer to the otherside
And the heavens are starting to cry
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice (Sacrifice)
I will find you in a burning sky
Where the ashes rain in your mind
Ohh, ohh, sacrifice (Sacrifice)
Sacrifice
