Sacrifice
Immortal Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And all decay from which even the sun withdraws
I confront loss so devastating that it eclipses the light of the sun
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
Oh, don't ask me to understand
Do not expect me to comprehend
My need for your love.
My longing for your affection
And the sacrifice
And the cost I have to pay to attain it
My soul in turmoil of emotion
My inner self is in a state of emotional agitation
I try to focus and close my eyes
I endeavor to concentrate and shut out distractions
As the reason tries to overcome what spirit has achieved
Logic struggles against what my inner heart has accomplished
Saturates the will
Fills me with determination
Sacrifice, all for the love
I am willing to give up everything for love
Sacrifice, all for the love
The cost of love is worth paying any price
Oh, don't ask me to understand
Do not expect me to comprehend
My need for your love
My longing for your affection
And the sacrifice
And the cost I have to pay to attain it
