Sacrificed

Innocence drawing the putrid like flies into the light
Unsullied by the blessings of everlasting spite
Forgotten not forgiven
The crimes behind these lines
A victim everytime the serpent's coil unwinds

Denial is righteous
When truth is not
What these eyes have seen
Ain't no act of god

Sacrificed - for no cause
Sacrificed - life is lost
Sacrificed - fear my hand
May god forgive you 'cause I can’t

Point blank at the presence of our good shepherd's wolves
Descending into darkness
The loss of faith engulfs
Unable to break free
The nails inside my limbs
A smile hides the shame
My lonely road begins

There is no confession
There is no relief
My plea for judgement
Is my belief

Sacrificed - for no cause
Sacrificed - life is lost
Sacrificed - fear my hand
May god forgive you 'cause I can’t

Sacrosanct behind your walls of millennia old stone
Faith turns a blind eye when the snake is free to roam
Put forth a dagger to the hearts you've sworn to heal
Another soul will face this sickening ordeal

No secular justice
On holy ground
Spirits are crying
Without a sound

Sacrificed - for no cause
Sacrificed - life is lost
Sacrificed - fear my hand
May god forgive you 'cause I can't
