The Sacrifice - Symphony X

Your eyes, singing to me sweet lullabies

While you lay there in submission

Forbidden desire

Alone in the moonlight hearts afire

Burn away our inhibitions

When the stars lose their fire

And night steals the morning away

Forever and a day

I will stay, I will stay here with you my love

Sacrifice, a heartbeat away from paradise

All my reason’s giving way to temptation

Fear and shame

Looking for someone else to blame

We’re devoured by these fruitless accusations

With every fleeting breath I take

Maybe our love was a mistake

Eternal life, I’d trade it for

One moment beside you

When the stars lose their fire

And night steals the morning away

Forever and a day

I will stay, I will stay here with you my love

When the stars lose their fire

And night steals the morning away

Forever and a day

When the stars lose their fire

And night breaks the morning away

Forever and a day

I will stay, I will stay here with you my love
