Sacrifice

Death reigns inside my veins
I scatter ashes where I roam
Firelight inside these eyes
This world will never be my home

You can collect all you want
You can reject all you don't
You can pretend you're someone
It doesn't matter
Cuz at the end of the day
You're gonna die anyway
You might think you can be saved
But you won't

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice
You're in such a hurry to expire
No sacrifice

Scorched earth is my rebirth
And like a phoenix I will rise
Carry the winds of change
While you await your home's demise

You know you saw it coming
You didn't change anything
You hate the doom that it brings
But you have earned it
You're only given one life
If you're not living it right
You better change it because
You can't return it

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice
You're in such a hurry to expire
No sacrifice
Too lazy to make life better
You just roll the dice
Hell bent on your own pleasure
Nothing comes without sacrifice

You can't have it all
Sometimes you have to choose
Life is a gom jabbar
You've got so much to prove
So put your hand in the box
Don't be afraid of the pain
Fear is the mindkiller
But you can come away unscathed
