The Crüxshadows - Winterborn (This Sacrifice) lyrics

[Dry your eyes...] 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 waited all day in the pouring rain But nobody came No, nobody came] [Prepare for battle!] And in the fury of this darkest hour We will be your light You've asked me for my sacrifice And I am winterborn Without denying, a faith is come That I have never known I hear the angels call my name And I am winterborn Hold your head up high For there is no greater love Think of the faces of the people 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 [Prepare for battle!] And in the fury of this darkest hour We will be your light You've asked me for my sacrifice And I am winterborn Without denying, a faith in God That I have never known I hear the angels call my name And I am winterborn And in the fury of this darkest hour I will be your light A lifetime for this destiny For I am winterborn And in this moment I will not run It is my place to stand We too shall carry hope Within our bloodied hands [Our bloodied hands...] And in our dying We're more alive Than we have ever been I live for these few seconds For I am winterborn And in the fury of this darkest hour We will be the light You've asked me for my sacrifice And I am winterborn Without denying, a faith in man That I have never known I hear the angels call my name And I am winterborn Within this moment I am for you Though better men have failed I will give my life for love For I am winterborn And in my dying, I'm more alive Than I have ever been I will make this sacrifice For I am winterborn
