Lyrics
Sacrifice
Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington
She's burning candles for me, she's laid out on the floor
An open invitation to somewhere I've never been before
She's keeping something from me, a passion deep inside
Her throat is so enticing, I want to take her down and
Sacrifice, Sacrifice...when you take the knife you pay the price
Sacrifice Sacrifice...and blood is running cold as ice
And now her scent surrounds me, I kiss her where she bleeds
I want her wrapped around me, I want to fill that need
I follow where she leads me, I swallow her advice
Alone in total darkness, she wants to take me down and
Sacrifice, Sacrifice...when you take the knife you pay the price
Sacrifice Sacrifice...and blood is running cold as ice
And all the saints and sinners tell you where to go
Unless you Sacrifice, you may never know
And she's still burning candles, and she still looks so nice
And she'll stay young forever, as long as she can find a
Sacrifice, Sacrifice...when you take the knife you pay the price
Sacrifice Sacrifice...and blood is running cold as ice
Cold as ice....
