In 2002 there was a major step forward with their first full length album "Cold Black Piece of Flesh", released on Whirlwind Records. Basically into the old school Death Metal vein but with a significant approach to the modern views of the genre, Sacrificium made clear how they would carry from that point. That caught the attention of the press again (Rock Hard 7.5/10, Metal Hammer 6/7) and pushed Sacrificium forward. Eeverytime at numerous shows in small and big clubs and on festivals in Germany and throughout Europe, Sacrificium gathered new fans. With live experience, enormous precision, energy and emotions Sacrificium rolls over their audience like thunder.
And so it happened that in summer 2005 Sacrificium caught the attention of Black Lotus Records and in winter 05/06 their second album "Escaping The Stupor" got released world wide by Black Lotus Records. And again, it didn't take long to receive reactions and consistently positive critics from the press. With ads and interviews in the major Metal Magazines it doesn't want for nothing, so that Sacrificium can concentrate completely on the upcoming live presence.
Labyrinth
Sacrificium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we build ourselfs
Cryptic writings on the wall
That meaning we'll never understand
Spoken words, broken promises, hollow phrases, empty hearts
Spoken words, broken promises, maniac laughter!
Eternal darkness is to be, daylight transformation
Hear now my lost child
Ready for eternity?
There will be a timeless night
No rescue in wicked ideology
Take me there
To the place where I belong
No fear of the dark
But I prefer the warmth of the son.
The lyrics of Sacrificium's song "Labyrinth" are an exploration of the internal struggles and conflicts that define human existence. The song explores the metaphor of a labyrinth, which represents the complex and convoluted nature of our thoughts and emotions. The opening line of the song, "Trapped in this labyrinth that we build ourselves", sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which describe the difficulty of understanding the meaning behind the "cryptic writings on the wall".
The second verse of the song, "Spoken words, broken promises, hollow phrases, empty hearts", highlights the disillusionment that many people feel in their relationships and interactions with others. The lines, "Closer than reality but stranger than fiction" and "Eternal darkness is to be, daylight transformation" suggest that human connections are often fraught with paradoxes and uncertainties.
The final verse of the song, "Take me there to the place where I belong, no fear of the dark but I prefer the warmth of the sun", expresses a longing for a sense of belonging and security, but also a preference for light and warmth over the darkness and confusion of the labyrinth. Overall, the lyrics of "Labyrinth" are a poignant meditation on the human condition and our search for meaning in a complex and often bewildering world.

Trapped in this labyrinth
We are stuck in a confusing maze
That we build ourselfs
We are the ones responsible for creating this confusing path
Cryptic writings on the wall
There are mysterious words marked on the walls
That meaning we'll never understand
We cannot comprehend the true significance behind these writings
Spoken words, broken promises, hollow phrases, empty hearts
People talk a lot, make promises they don't keep and say meaningless things without feeling true emotions
Spoken words, broken promises, maniac laughter!
People make insane and wicked jokes and use words to hurt others
Closer than reality but stranger than fiction
Something seems more real than reality, although it is still bizarre and difficult to understand
Eternal darkness is to be, daylight transformation
The darkness will always remain, but maybe someday there will be a change to light
Hear now my lost child
Listen to me and pay attention
Ready for eternity?
Are you prepared for the long haul?
There will be a timeless night
There will be an endless darkness
No rescue in wicked ideology
Evil beliefs and values will not offer any escape
Take me there
Bring me to my destination
To the place where I belong
To the place where I feel I fit in and belong
No fear of the dark
I am not afraid of the darkness
But I prefer the warmth of the son.
But I would rather bask in the sun's radiant heat
