The Cruxshadows - Winter Born (This Sacrifice) Lyrics
Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with prideFor heaven shall remember the silent and the braveAnd promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes(my eyes are closed)We will give strength to those who still remainSo bury fear, for fate draws nearAnd hide the signs of painWith noble acts, the bravest soulsEndure the heart's remainsDiscard regret, that in this debtA better world is madeThat children of a newer day might rememberAnd avoid our fate(I've waited all day in the pouring rain, but nobody came, no, nobody came)And in the fury of this darkest hourWe will be your lightYou've asked me for my sacrificeAnd I am Winter bornWithout denying, a faith is comeThat I have never knownI hear the angels call my nameAnd I am Winter bornHold your head up high-for there is no greater loveThink of the faces of the people you defend(you defend)And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes(my eyes are closed)Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never crySo bury fear, for fate draws nearAnd hide the signs of painWith noble acts, the bravest soulsEndure the heart's remainsDiscard regret, that in this debtA better world is madeThat children of a newer day might rememberAnd avoid our fateAnd in the fury of this darkest hourWe will be your lightYou've asked me for my sacrificeAnd I am Winter bornWithout denying, a faith in GodThat I have never knownI hear the angels call my nameAnd I am Winter bornAnd in the fury of this darkest hourI will be your lightA lifetime for this destinyFor I am Winter bornAnd in this moment..I will not runIt is my place to standWe few shall carry hopeWithin our bloodied hands(bloodied hands)And in our Dying, we're more alive-than we have ever beenI've lived for these few secondsFor I am Winter bornAnd in the fury of this darkest hourWe will be the lightYou've asked me for my sacrificeAnd I am Winter bornWithout denying, a faith in manThat I have never knownI hear the angels call my nameAnd I am Winter bornWithin this moment nowI am for you, though better men have failedI will give my life for loveFor I am Winter bornAnd in my dyingI'm more alive, than I have ever beenI will make this sacrificeFor I am Winter born
