Sacrifice Lyrics

Sacrifice [spoken]

Hail to the gods, the bringers of fortune
Worship the sun, the giver of light
Follow the steps, that lead you to heaven
Sacrifice waits for your beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release

Sacrifice
Sacrifice

Enter the temple, the alter of stone
Appeasing your gods, you give them your life
Eyes open wide, the priest stands above you
Held in his hands, your still beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release

Sacrifice
sacrifice

ooh ohh ohhh ohhh
ohh ohh ohhh ohhh
ohh ohh ohhh ohhh
ohh ohh ohhh ohhh

Civilization lost in the jungle
Forgotten in time, the cities of gold
Carved in the stone, the stories before you
The succubus claim your still beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release

Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
SACRIFICE...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
