Alkaline Trio - The Sacrifice

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1977444
Verse 1
Bring us the sacrifice
Singing in the ruin at the end of days
Leave it to the sodomites swinging from the branches of the dying trees
Now upside down
Their voices torn from them upon the wind
This witch won't drown
Where was your Jesus when we needed him?

Chorus
Born again useless, born again free
Born again clueless
Thank god for TV
Thank god for TV

Verse 2
Bring god his pair of dice
For his paradise is breaking up
I hear that he won't play nice
No, not after two nuns and one cup
We've been shut down
Our lives are torn from us upon the wind
This trick won't drown after hours of waterboarding him

Chorus
Born again usеless, born again free
Born again clueless
Thank god for TV
Born again usеless, born again free
Born again clueless
Thank god for TV
Thank god for TV

Hey, what do you say?
We've been here for far too long now
We really gotta leave
We're running out of time now
Hey, what do we do?
We've been lost for far too long now
We haven't a clue
Tell us where to go now

Bridge
Tell us what to live for (teach us how to die)
Heaven wants a new war (cover us in lies)
Killing us with kindness (sparing us the truth)
Withering on the vine (euthanize the youth)
Give away the secrets of the holy land
Take away our feelings as fast as you can
Erase all our memories, replace them with blood and sand

Chorus
Born again useless, born again free
Born again clueless
Thank god for TV
Born again useless, born again free
Born again clueless
Thank god for TV
Thank god for TV

"The Sacrifice" by Alkaline Trio is a dark and haunting song that explores themes of sacrifice, religion, and the manipulation of truth. The lyrics paint a picture of a world on the brink of destruction, where the sacrifices made in the name of faith are questioned and the line between good and evil is blurred. The chorus reflects a sense of disillusionment and cynicism, with a nod to the role of media in shaping our perceptions of reality. The bridge delves deeper into the idea of manipulation and control, with references to war, lies, and the suppression of truth. Overall, "The Sacrifice" is a thought-provoking and intense track that challenges listeners to question the systems and beliefs that govern their lives.
