Sacrifice
Immortal Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All for the love

I walk into moments darker than night
Through the walls of apathy
And all decay from which even the sun withdraws

Oh, light may fade, but the fire
Fire's burning still

Oh, don't ask me to understand
My need for your love.
And the sacrifice

My soul in turmoil of emotion
I try to focus and close my eyes
As the reason tries to overcome what spirit has achieved

Oh, light may fade, but the fire
Saturates the will

Oh, don't ask me to understand
My need for your love
And the sacrifice

Sacrifice, all for the love

Oh, don't ask me to understand
My need for your love
And the sacrifice





Sacrifice, all for the love

I walk into moments darker than night
I face challenges that are even darker than the night


Through the walls of apathy
I have to break through an emotional barrier of indifference

Oh, light may fade, but the fire
Although hope may diminish, the passion still burns strongly


Fire's burning still
The flame of determination is still alive

And the cost I have to pay to attain it
