Sacrifice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speaking in voices that aren't mine darkness and my soul combine
Forces make me take the knife want me to take someone's life
Slit the throat blood has begun don't even know what I've done
Shadows through the dark arise watch me stab my prey, she dies
Illusion controls my mind, it cries try to stop my action defied
I murdered by the demon's mind my thinking now has been confined
Darkness cannot leave my brain more killings maniac insane
Chanting rites I don't know evil power continues to grow
The lyrics to Sacrifice's song Possession depict the experience of being possessed by dark forces, leading the singer to commit murder. The demon inside the singer's mind taunts and controls them, leading to them hearing voices and seeing shadows. The forces within them urge the singer to take a knife and kill, resulting in them slitting someone's throat without even realizing what they have done. The illusion of control over the singer's mind persists, while society labels the act as homicide. The darkness inside the singer's mind only continues to grow, leading them further down a path of maniacal behavior.
In essence, the lyrics describe the experience of losing oneself to a darker force beyond their control. The song portrays the idea of fighting against internal demons, ultimately losing to their will and falling prey to their desire to kill. The vivid and dark imagery creates an atmosphere of madness and despair, capturing the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind and being forced to commit horrendous acts.
