"Sacrifice" lyrics

There's a tale that told
Of a noble animal with a taste for wrong and right
That wouldn't show its teeth
To the shepherd or his sheep
But the hunger never died

A hundred years of swallowed tears
When only blood could pay the price

Would you sacrifice?
Would you sacrifice?
Would you sacrifice?

Would you sell your soul?
Would you live out on the road
Like a killer in the night
'Fore the setting sun
If you don't unload the gun
Then one day you'll leave behind
So much pain and heavy blame
Even your death won't make it right

Would you sacrifice?
Would you sacrifice?
Would you sacrifice
And bring an end to light?
Would you sacrifice?

Lay at the altar again and again
Know this
For the strong to survive
Witness
The weakest among us must die

Would you sacrifice?
Would you sacrifice?
Would you sacrifice
And bring an end to light?
Would you sacrifice?
