Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why do they not believe
I have not lied, even for this
Now no one can conceive
The lie become the loving kiss
But I would not
Fall in love
Like this
I would not
Fall in love
Like this
[Verse 2]
The women stitch the shrouds
The children murder all the world
If only you believe
Then only you will die
How can you not
See the stars
In your eyes?
How can you not
See the stars
In your eyes?
[Verse 3]
Sacrifice

Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Pay the price
Cold as ice
Sacrifice
[Verse 4]
The pain is on you now
Do not consider flight for gain
In you the poison breeds
Crawling with the mark of Cain
And no one shall
Set you free
Again
And no one shall
Set you free
Again
[Verse 5]
