Sacrifice Lyrics

He lies and speaks of holiness, I deny His crowning Fall into the arms of Death, now let me suffer

It's all a lie, it's all the same
A birth of madness, a death in shame
It's all your lies, it's all your shame
I'll carry this cross forever
All this is lies, all this is shame
You ask me to forgive you, I beg for you to see
Ritual, this passage to life, you ask for it to be eternal

[Solo: Lasse Johansson]

Forgive me Father for I have seen
the beauty of godless suffering
Forgive me Father for I have been
the essence of godlike suffering

I've been asked if I would die for Him
I have asked if He would die for me
I am willing to deny myself
I am blessed to be His sacrifice

The purest of the pure, the blackest of the black
The sickest of the sick, you're all mine

Jag förlåter dig för allt du gjort
Jag förlåter dig för allt som du sagt
Now I believe I saw my Saviour
Become me, abandon me, you're all mine

I saw an angel, I saw a demon
Behold His kingdom, a burning majesty
These acts of infamy, our eyes can not unsee

So this is it, this is the end
We'll lead you to our flames, our Purgatory reign

Ritual, breeding but lies, bleeding inside
Cleansed by holy fire, now dead and gone
Sickened, your sickened lies, your sickened shame
You ask me to forgive you, I beg for you to die
Ritual death, you ask for it to be infernal

[Solo: Lasse Johansson]

So bless this darkness, bless the end
So bless this torment and bless this hate
So let this murder bless me and my downfall
Now kill me
Unbless my burden, unbless my pain
Unbless the virgin, destroy Her race
So let this sacrifice bless them and their downfall

They are sworn to the kingdom of God
I am sworn to spill their blood
Eternity awaits you, we all must die
But you will die first

You wait for me to call your name
I'll wait for you until the end
Be one with fire, it is not meant to be
So rise! Arise!
Your God is meaningless, your God is misery
In blood we write our names, in blood we will remain
This is a tragedy, your God is meaningless
Your God is suffering, all hail the sacrifice

This is the chaos we devour
I am called upon to kill your race
There's no hope, there is no future
All we have is bloodshed

You ask me to defile you, you ask me to deny you
I oblige

Sharpening our swords to cut their throats
We'll bring them to the flames of our Purgatory reign

We stand, stand by my side, defy and deny
In this void of wordless clarity

So this is it, this is the end
Let there be judgment again and again
We stand alone, we are the throne
Let there be darkness

[Solo: Lasse Johansson / Fredrik Folkare]

This is farewell, this is your hell
A birth of madness, a life in shame
It's all a lie, it's all the same
You'll carry this cross forever
All this, all this is false, all this is shame
You ask me to forgive you, I beg for you to be
A sacrifice to me, I'm everything you need
I am eternal
