For this, the musician, who was known simply as Lennon, could win non other but Jason Suecof, known for his masterpiece work for Metal-bands like Trivium, Chimaira or All That Remains. Together with him and drummer Dave Elitch, the trio managed to record a both emotional and also heavy album.
Final Words explodes of groovy guitars , gripping rhythms and catchy hooklines that go directly under your skin. Wrapped in a Suecof-like powerful sound-wall, the singer is leading the band on all directions through the songs - no matter if it is in an emotional or aggressive style.
Although the band is relatively heavy, they managed to keep one very important element in their music: Authenticy. And therefore no fan of modern sounding metal-music should even hesitate with this album…

Sacrifice
Devil's Gift Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything they want us to be
A child, an escape
An answer to their manmade ways
My sacrifice
I'll bleed for you, only for you
Take my life
Where have they gone
This pincushion christ for the day
Don't cry my sweet
I'll pay the price make the pain go away
My sacrifice
I'll bleed for you, only for you
Take my life
I'll bleed for you, only for you
My sacrifice
I'll bleed for you, only for you
Take my life
I'll bleed for you, only for you
How much will they give me
With all that take
How far will they push me
To see if I break
My sacrifice
I'll bleed for you, only for you
Take my life
I'll bleed for you, only for you
My sacrifice
I'll bleed for you, only for you
Take my life
I'll bleed for you, only for you
So you're beautiful, you're clean
You conform to societal expectations of beauty and cleanliness.
Everything they want us to be
You fit the standards established by social norms and expectations.
A child, an escape
You are innocent and serve as a way out for those burdened by real life.
An answer to their manmade ways
You offer a solution to the world's problems created by human beings.
My sacrifice
I offer myself up for a greater cause.
I'll bleed for you, only for you
I am willing to endure agony for the sake of contributing to a noble cause.
Take my life
I am willing to give everything I have, including my existence itself.
Where have they gone
Where have the people who demand your sacrifice disappeared to?
This pincushion christ for the day
They have used you as an instrument to fulfill their needs for just a day.
Don't cry my sweet
Don't be upset, my dear.
I'll pay the price make the pain go away
I will bear the consequences to ease your burden and ease the pain.
How much will they give me
I am questioning the worth of my sacrifice in relation to what I receive in return.
With all that take
They take so much and offer so little in return.
How far will they push me
I question how much more they will demand from me before I reach my limit.
To see if I break
I am being tested to see if I can tolerate even more pain and suffering.
