sacrifice Lyrics

Take one beating heart

Mix it well with a hint of the vital spark

Take one driven mind

All the blood and angst and pain

Or it just don't signify

Sometimes you gotta call up the devil

I'm calling

Take this sacrifice

This hope this prayer this rolling of the dice

Take this offering frail and flawed

To call up the devil

To call up the god

Ain't nothing worth anything without it

Take what you want and pay the price

Got to focus laserlike throughout it

Gentlemen the goddess demands a sacrifice

So take this heart and give me the ring

The key that opens everything

The heavens shift the stars align

Each gate shall open at its appointed time

Along the axis manifest seven flames

In slow rotation off the central plane

Hold tight children smile and nod

As we call up the devil to call up the god

Sometimes you gotta call up the devil

I'm calling

Ain't nothing worth anything without it

To reach the apex nothing less will suffice

It's a law of nature don't you ever doubt it

Gentlemen the goddess demands a sacrifice
