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 takes the morning away
Forever and a day
I will stay, I will stay here with you my love
