Sacrifice

SACRIFICE! You cut across my skin And drink from the wounds of my sin You cut across my skin Thoughtless of the agony I’m in I want you to cut me again Sever me thin Sever me thin Take me I’m your sacrifice Slaughter me upon the altar of my vice Infiltrate me with your wicked eyes Take me Convert me Into a whisper in the wind SACRIFICE! You lessen me with the rim of your knife You dehumanize my life You engrave me with the teeth of your knife “I AM THE SERPENT’S WIFE” I want you to cut me deeper Brand me, reaper Brand me, reaper Take me I’m your sacrifice Slaughter me upon the altar of my vice Infiltrate me with your wicked eyes Take me Convert me Into a whisper in the wind Cut me until I’m yours My sin threw me into your arms Cut me until I’m nothing but a whisper Cut me into the wind I know you contrived my sin Take me I’m your sacrifice Slaughter me upon the altar of my vice Infiltrate me with your wicked eyes Take me Convert me Into a whisper in the wind SACRIFICE!
