Your Sacrifice
Daemon Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tale speaks of loss where the wind starts to blow
Where the tide freezes and stars gleam no more
I say it's you who's behind every door, every sigh of my soul
For you were the one I would always trust
But you decided to go like the birds respond to the season's call

Frozen by your sacrifice, the choice you made for us
Sleepless I stand by your side
Though we are far apart, apart and far
Frozen by your sacrifice, the choice that no one will know

Tale speaks of love where the leaves start to grow
Where soothing rain falls unseen
I say it's you who could lighten my world, bring joy again
For my fortress you broke, unleashed my love
Till you had to go, and no one knows, no one knows why

Frozen by your sacrifice, the choice you made for us
Sleepless I stand by your side
Though we are far apart, apart and far
Frozen by your sacrifice, the choice that no one will know





And forever we will wander in the wild
