Sacrifice
All that is good and true
For the pleasure of the far and few
One by one they suffer through
The rituals of which they had no clue
How could such a innocent space be such a rue
Oh how they trusted you
The damage has been done
No turning back the hour dime
Idle minds face the truth as a millstone pulls their neck right through
Drown, drown
Sinking deeper in despair
Malevolence is elegance
In the eyes of childlike innocence
More
Compromising what they told me to
Tore
Right through the fledging heart of a child
Lore
Is what they wanted you to believe
But the roots of the rocky ground
Showed the heart of the one too far gone
Buried in the depths of the soul
Thoughts from a fallen angel
Continues to take its toll
But I see it's all a ploy
Rob them of all feeling and all joy
As the oath breaks
A fleeting path
The world gained
But a soul is lost
Wanting
More and more
As the moments pass
They can't ignore.
Drown Drown
Sinking deeper in despair
Demanding the world, more that they can bear
As the pathways form and the root sinks in
A life wastes away, the unspoken sin
They trusted you
All the while
The blood of the child
Left at the altar of acclaim
The cycle goes on
Even after you're dead and gone
They wanted the embrace
The disapproval of your face
Left them with these scars
And you're to blame
They trusted you
They trusted you
They trusted you
