Realize how lonely this is
Self-defeating, oh, fuck, yeah
Drowned in love and false kisses
A gathering of no meaning
That shadow is a cross okay
Judgment must willing today
Silence is not sacrifice
Crucifixion is the easy life
Who threw the first stone
If the stone is you
Forgive them forsaken
Bleeding feet an angel's savior
That shadow is a cross okay
Judgment must be willing today
Silence is not sacrifice
Crucifixion is the easy life
Embrace to betrayal
An arms army salvation
Listen to the selfish ones
They are the voice of accomplishment
Self-defeating, oh, fuck, yeah
Drowned in love and false kisses
A gathering of no meaning
That shadow is a cross okay
Judgment must willing today
Silence is not sacrifice
Crucifixion is the easy life
Who threw the first stone
If the stone is you
Forgive them forsaken
Bleeding feet an angel's savior
That shadow is a cross okay
Judgment must be willing today
Silence is not sacrifice
Crucifixion is the easy life
Embrace to betrayal
An arms army salvation
Listen to the selfish ones
They are the voice of accomplishment

I think this one is in part looking at the sacrifice of relationships people feel the need to make to be successful at their occupation of choice. You can’t obsess over work (especially in the entertainment field) and be away from home endlessly and expect to have a happy family waiting on you. You’re going to have a mate feeling lonely and rejected and children you sacrificed the joy of parenting in watching them grow up. You can’t have it both ways. “Listen to the selfish ones. They are the voice of accomplishment.”
Also looking at the religious imagery combined with the sacrifice of relationships is quite interesting. Christianity is all about sacrificing and maybe even suffering for salvation. Relationships also have that same need to make sacrifices that you might not want to do to appease your mate, or in religion’s case your god. Like those in the Catholic Church who deny themselves human relationships for religious relationships, it's the same thing in a way. (Except without the whole Altar Boys thing....)
