Sacrifice
Jeff Williams Lyrics

Close your eyes now time for dreams,
It's time to dream so close your eyes and let your mind wander.

Death is never what it seems.
The true nature of death is not always clear and transparent.

Did the things you thought you should,
Did you do what you felt was the right thing to do?

All the things they said were good.
Did you follow the advice of others who told you what was right?

All your faith in ancient ways,
Your beliefs and trust are in old and outdated methods.

Leaves you trapped inside a maze.
You're stuck in a confusing and complicated situation.

Take the lives of those you need,
You have to sacrifice the lives of others to get what you want.

Sow the death then reap the seed.
You will eventually face the consequences of your actions.

Born an angel, heaven sent,
You were born pure and innocent like an angel and sent to Earth from heaven.

Falls from grace are never elegant.
A loss of innocence or purity is always unpleasant and ungraceful.

Stars will drop out of the sky,
The world will be shaken and chaotic like the sky falling apart.

The moon will sadly watch the roses die.
Even the celestial bodies will feel sorrow and pain for the loss of beauty on Earth.

In vain, Lost, no gain,
Your efforts are wasted without any progress or reward.

But you're not taking me.
You refuse to let anyone or anything control you.

You can't have my life,
You won't let anyone take control of your life.

I'm not your sacrifice.
You refuse to become a victim of someone else's plans or desires.

You can try, but I'm free,
Others may try to manipulate you, but you have the power to make your own choices.

And you won't conquer me.
You won't let anyone else overcome you or bring you down.

I won't crawl,
You won't submit to anyone else's control or demands.

Most of all,
Above all else,

I won't fall,
You won't be defeated or lose your independence.

For you.
You won't sacrifice yourself for someone else's goals or desires.

Show them gods and deities,
People are shown false idols and religious figures to keep them ignorant.

Blind and keep the people on their knees.
By keeping people ignorant, they are kept powerless and submissive.

Pierce the sky, escape your fate.
To escape your destiny, you must rebel against the forces of control.

The more you try the more you'll just breed hate,
The more you resist and create conflict, the more animosity and aggression you'll sow.

And lies.
These conflicts are often based on untruths and deceit.

Truth will rise,
Eventually, the truth will emerge and expose the lies.

Revealed by mirrored eyes.
The truth will be seen and recognized by everyone.

What if all the plans you made,
What if all the strategies and goals you had set up

Were not worth the price they paid?
Were not worth the sacrifices and negative consequences they brought?

Even with the lives you stole,
Even with the harm you caused others

Still no closer to your...Goal.
You're no closer to achieving your overarching desire or purpose.
