Lyrics Sacrifice/Let There Be Peace - Bob Mould

Sacrifice/Let There Be Peace

If I ride on the rails I shall ride them alone
And if I need all this pain I will find it alone
If I’m wanted for leaving I will leave here alone
And if I can’t resist this then I am unfit to go
A simple solution is all I require
If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free
Let me be free if the strain on your conscience gets under your skin
And leads you to making a sacrifice
Sacrifice me
Let there be peace
To the grave from the cradle we don’t rock anymore
Now I stand here with both feet planted firm on the floor
And if you’re planning a future of indefinite grace
You’d better start removing the lines of deceit from your face
A simple conclusion is all I require
If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free
Let me be free
And all of the hypocrites lie through their teeth
Talk about making a sacrifice
Sacrifice me
Let there be peace
How much longer can all this go on?
How many more chances can one person have?
And all of the questions with no proper answers
Continue continue have to go on have to go on
Should I bend down and worship the ground
Of the beautiful people who live without flaws?
Success is a virtue to share with the world
But failure’s a lesson that’s best learned alone
Respect is a virtue that strong men command
But when words become weapons
There’ll be peace in the valley of death when I rise
Peace in the valley of death when I rise
