Living Sacrifice

You know I’d almost given you up for dead
Sooner or later, thought you’d put a gun to your head
Took a shot of this, a hit that another wasted sacrifice
Dismissed the eternal with a simple roll of the dice
Like a sheep with no shepherd
A dog without a bone
You dug up your own messiah
And tried to follow him home
Give your body, give your mind
Give it all until you find a zealot’s passion
An addict’s drug, be a living sacrifice
Too many idols just keep on crashing down
So many heroes are ten feet underground
Leave the flowers by their graves
Don’t you know the price is paid?
The ultimate sacrifice has been made
You’re a sheep with no shepherd
A dog without a bone
Bury the dead messiah
Follow the living one home
Give your body, give your mind
Give it all until you find a zealot’s passion
An addict’s drug, be a living sacrifice
