The Sacrifice

(album: Paradise Lost - 2007)

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 foolish accusation

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

When the stars lose their fire
And night taked the morning away
Forever and a day
I will stay I will stay here with you my love
