Started off innocent and in love

Never thought he'd get involved

Never knowing anything but love

Their nation of two broken down

Cracked and weathered - sunk in the ground

Never fading into the blackness

He gave his life to the one he loved

He gave himself over as a sacrifice

Ended up lost and alone

Oh they cut him straight to the bone

Never breaking until he did

Hated by millions and loved by insane

Oh they sliced him right through the veins

Never bleeding until he did

He gave his life to the one he loved

He gave himself to his God above

He gave himself over and he was a sacrifice

Come on

Pretending forced to hide

Behind the mask he wore and

Did they want to shut him down

To cut him off from breathing?

Did they want to break him?

He gave his life to the one he loved

He gave himself to his God above

He gave himself over and he paid the price

He gave himself over as a sacrifice
