Marianne – Sacrifice lyrics

The wind blows through another morning
The taste of hatred in your mouth
Makes you wonder why
Are you alive if you're still breathing?

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face

The mirror bears another warning:
It is death you can't live without
It makes you wonder why
Are they alive if they're still breathing?

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face

...And you're lost without a trace...
They'll put you back into your place.
And you know there will never be the one
To repay

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face

You sacrifice not knowing why -
your cries cannot be heard
By the ways of this world you have to know your place
You sacrifice not knowing why -
it's a lesson to be learned
For it pays in this world to spit back in their face
