Sacrifice[Extended Mixes]

Gary Numan Sacrifice[Extended Mixes] Lyrics
1.Pray

Listen to my voice.
We are gathered here today
To speak of things we have to do,
And the friends we have to call,
From the middleground,
From the darkness.

It's been many years,
Many years,
Since we have faced a danger such as this.
There is nowhere left to hide.
No safety in old glories.
No sanctuary.

I've seen the same nightmare in all our dreams,
But now it's come to earth in search of us,
And through treachery, we are found.
So we must pray to the maker of all things,
And wait for the storm to come.

Maker
We are disciples to your desire.

Maker
We are the voices that sing your praises.

Maker
We are the rage that feeds your devotion.

Maker
Rise from the ground and be our salvation.


2.Deadliner

So i close my eyes and drift into sleep,
But something is here,
In the dark, in the dream.
Like a cruel wind clutching my heart,
I feel more than i see,
Like a clue to a nightmare that i can't believe.
Then it touches me and i try to scream,
And a thought tears me inside.
And i will do anything,
Anything, you understand?
Just to wake up.

Sometimes it almost makes me cry.
Sometimes it seems to call my name out loud.
Sometimes it feels like i'm alone
And then it comes for me again.

I'm told it's called the un-reality dream.
I'm told it's called the great american lie.
I'm told that this is like the vengeance of god.
I can't believe that god would do this to me.

I've known fear many times, but nothing like this.
I'm so scared i can't breathe.
I know i'm asleep, but i know this is real,
And no one can help me here.
I'm deep inside something, and i may never come back,
And then it was gone,
And then i realised that the rush brought it in,
And i will never sleep alone again.

Sometimes it almost breaks my heart.
Sometimes i swear i hear it laugh at me.
Sometimes it feels like i could die
And then it leaves my dreams again.

Feels like i'm fighting the possession of my soul.
I'm told that this is called the sickness of need.
I've got to cut the sex connection and slide
A word of warning to the weary and wise.


3.A Question Of Faith

I'll crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
I'll be the thing that you feed.

I'm not asking
For love or redemption
I'll sell my guilt to your need.

I'll breathe for you
Die if you want to
I'll mourn with you by my grave.

I dare you to judge me
Now god has disowned me
I've come to you to be saved.

They say i sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.

I'll shine for you
Burn if you want to
You'll be the prize for my pain.

I'll kill your god
And pray for salvation
I'll be the in to your sane.

I'll lie for you
Be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame.

I won't ask for
Faith or forgiveness
I'll be the blood in your veins.

They say i lost my way
I'll wait for judgement day.

Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.

I'll be your darkness
In the light
I'll be your vampire calling
In the dead of night

I'll be your demon
Shadow man
I'll be your one confession
And if i can

I'll be your nightmare
And scream for you
I'll be your one possesion
If you want me to

I'll be your secret
Memory,
I'll be your exhibition
Of atrocity.

They say i sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.

They say i lost my way.
I'll wait for judgement day.

Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.

They kneel down, praise god
Shout allelujah,
Lift up their eyes when they pray.

When children kill children
Don't it make them wonder?
Don't it make them question their faith?


4.Desire

Is this desire
Or a disease?
If i surrender
Will you come for me?
Will you come for me?

Is this your mercy
Or sacrifice?
No absolution
If you come for me.
If you come for me.

So will i suffer
Humility,
Divine forgiveness,
When you come for me?
When you come for me


5.Scar

I'm not
Crawling around
Looking for a friend.
I'm not
Thinking the big i am.
I'm not
Down on the ground
Looking for a cure.
I'm not
Saying that i'm the man.

And i'm not asking for your opinion.
I'm not asking for a miracle.
And i'm not asking you to remember me,
Not asking for the ghost to call.

I'm
Cold and corrupt
Looking for a heart.
I'm
Trying to hide my scars.
I'm
Talking to you
Like a shadow in the dark.
I'm
Just trying to survive.

(call my name, hide my shame)
I call this human emotion.
(save my soul, save my soul)
I call this human corrosion.

And i'm not asking you for emotion,
I'm not asking for the sky to mend.
And i'm not asking you for nostalgia,
I'm not asking for the world to end.
And i'm not asking for your opinion,
I'm not asking for a miracle.
And i'm not asking you to remember me,
Not asking for the ghost to call.


6.Love And Napalm

Call me deadliner
Nothing in here but dust.
Are you afraid dear listener?
Nothing in here but us.

I'll give you black rumours
'stay away from everything i've seen.'
I'll give you black rumours
'stay away from everyone i've been.'

The broken sound of love and lies
Still fill your room.
Faded memories of shame
Will find you soon.

I'll give you corrosion
Miracles are never what they seem
I'll give you corrosion
Welcome to the nightmare, not the dream.

I can remember everything.
Every promise, every lie,
And how the words of strangers made me cry.
All the pride, all the shame,
All the friends that came from nowhere
And then hurried back again.
I collected scars like a man at war
And i thought 'isn't life peculiar,
Desire takes you there, but not back.'
No more. i'm just another old story.

When god heard your prayer
It said 'i am not your friend.'
Laughed like a fallen angel
And said 'i've no love to send.'

It keeps a photograph
It likes to overdose on time
It said 'time to leave'
Like other friends of mine.

I'll give you dark wonders
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you dominions
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you dead hereos
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you love and napalm
You are all invited to the show.


7.You Walk In My Soul

When my eyes first saw you
A vision
My heart missed a beat
And i cried
I knew then i loved you
And i do
Now you are my reason for living

And now
You walk in my soul
You dance in my heart
You draw breath for me
I'll stand by your side
I'll kneel at your feet
Share my life with me

I've waited years
I've waited all my life for you
You are my world
All of my dreams and i need you

I'll love you forever
And a day
I'll love you till god comes and takes me away

You sing to my soul
You play with my heart
You breathe life for me
I'll always be yours
And i'd die for you
Share my life with me

I can't believe
How much you mean to me, and so
Pick up a piece
A piece of my heart
And stay with me


8.Magic

When i sleep
I slide into
Some heaven
But no one is there.

If i believed,
If i should wonder,
If i forgive
Then would you come for me?

When i sleep
I hear sad words
Songs of god
That show me the lie.

'i'll keep you safe,
I'll keep you warm and
I'll keep you here,
Alone forever.'

And i believe in faith and magic.
And i believe in love and wonder.
And i'll believe in you when you come for me.
And i'll believe in you when the world comes apart.


9.Bleed

Someone is talking
But it's not conversation,
Sounds more like a voice in my head.
It says
'i live in nightmares
I'm the new god of panic
And i'm waiting for you to come home to me.

'so boy, welcome to sleep
I'm gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.'

I could be dreaming
But then maybe that's fatal.
There's nowhere to hide in your dreams.
I'm so uneasy
I'm shaking and nervous.
I'm alone in my room and i'm scared of it.

So, don't let me sleep
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.

My mother told me
'don't believe in ghost stories.
There's nothing to hurt you in here.'
But she was wrong
And now it's come back to haunt me.
It says it won't leave me alive for long.

I don't want to sleep.
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.


10.The Seed Of A Lie

I'm a ghost in the dark and i'm yours.
I belong in the past and i'm yours.
Like a song you forget, and i'm yours.
Like a dream in the night, and i'm yours.

The wrong place?
The wrong time?
I don't know.
The wrong face?
Yours or mine?
I don't know.

Like a tear when you sleep, i'll be yours.
Like a scar that won't fade, i'll be yours.
Like a pain in the cold, i'll be yours.
Like a fear in the heart, i'll be yours.

The wrong word when you cry
I will be
Like the seed of a lie
I will be
Like the germ of disease
I will be
Like the last one who cared
I will be

Like your shadow
I will haunt you
Do you remember?
I said to you
'love is a mountain
But harder to climb.
It should be forever
But love is unkind
To me.
Don't let me down.'

And you let me down.
