The chalk is drawn, the symbols gleam cold A prophecy whispered, a story retold I am the harvest that ripens too fast A moment of fire, before the truth is cast The altar is marble, the edges are sharp The beat of the drum is the throb of my heart I walk to the edge of the shadow and wait Embrace the machine that delivers my fate. I am the Sacrificial Lamb, led to the flame I wear the suffering, I carry the shame The ritual demands it, the pattern must hold A beautiful ending, a story untold I am the offering, consumed by the heat The ultimate price for the victory you seek! The crowd is a circle, they breathe in the smoke A hungry devotion in every word spoke I see the acceptance reflected in their eyes The worship of fate in this beautiful demise I stand without protest, my voice is subdued The purity needed for something renewed It’s not my decision, it’s not even a choice I am just the echo of someone else's voice. I am the Sacrificial Lamb, led to the flame I wear the suffering, I carry the shame The ritual demands it, the pattern must hold A beautiful ending, a story untold I am the offering, consumed by the heat The ultimate price for the victory you seek! My blood is the ink that writes the new law My breaking is all that can fill up the flaw We need the transgression to feel like we’re free So carve your devotion right here inside of meeeeeeeee... Right here inside of me... I am the Sacrificial Lamb, led to the flame I wear the suffering, I carry the shame The ritual demands it, the pattern must hold A beautiful ending, a story untold I am the offering, consumed by the heat The ultimate price for the victory you seek! The smoke clears... the debt is paid... I fade into the shadow you made... Sacrificial Lamb... sacrificial lamb...
