Cruxshadows - Winterborn (This Sacrifice) lyrics

rate me

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride

For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave

And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes

(my eyes are closed)

We will give strength to those who still remain

So bury fear, for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember

And 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 hour

We will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith is come

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love

Think 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 cry

So bury fear, for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember

And avoid our fate

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in God

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

I will be your light

A lifetime for this destiny

For I am Winter born

And in this moment..I will not run

It is my place to stand

We few shall carry hope

Within our bloodied hands

(bloodied hands)

And in our Dying, we're more alive-than we have ever been

I've lived for these few seconds

For I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be the light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in man

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

Within this moment now

I am for you, though better men have failed

I will give my life for love

For I am Winter born

And in my dying

I'm more alive, than I have ever been

I will make this sacrifice

For I am Winter born
