Sacrifice

(Album: RWBY, Vol. 2 - 2014)

[Casey Lee Williams:]
Close your eyes now, time for dreams
Death is never what it seems
Take the things you thought you should
All the things they said were
Good
All your faith in ancient ways
Leaves you trapped inside a maze
Take the lives of those you need
Sow the death then reap the
Seed
Reap the seed
Born an angel, heaven-sent
Falls from grace are never elegant
Stars will drop out of the sky
The moon will proudly watch the roses die
In vain
Lost, no gain
But you're not taking me

[Chorus:]
You can't take my life
I'm not your sacrifice
You can try but I'm free
And you won't conquer me
I won't crawl
Most of all
I won't fall for you

Show them gods and deities
Blind and keep the people on their knees
Pierce the sky
Escape your fate
The more you try
The more you'll just breed hate
And lies
Truth will rise
Revealed by mirrored eyes

What if all the plans you made
Were not worth the price they paid?
Even with the lives you stole
You're still no closer to your goal

[Chorus]
