Sacrifice
Dark Rituals Unveiled: Unraveling the Depths of Sacrifice
Lyrics
A sacrifice, a sacrifice
A ritualistic act of offering something valuable.
You say you wanna sacrifice
Expressing a willingness to make a sacrifice.
You say the words too easily
Stating the words without genuine depth of understanding.
To know just what you mean
An indication that the speaker doesn't fully comprehend the significance.
One black hand and one white hand
Symbolic contrast between opposing forces or ideologies.
I slaughtered with your knife
Metaphorical reference to causing harm using someone else's tools.
I know full well you have a loss
Awareness of the other person's previous experiences of loss.
A thing to match their blood
Implication that a comparable loss is needed as recompense.
The sacrificial knife is stained with ?
Obscured or unknown substance staining the sacrificial knife.
And held on hair
The knife is grasped or restrained by hair, possibly symbolic.
The blood is mixed within the cup
Symbolic mixing of blood within a container.
And drunk by all who watch
Partaken by observers, possibly implying shared responsibility.
You ? a power ? touch
Unclear action associated with a powerful touch or influence.
You'll never get to power just by playing nasty games
Warning against achieving power through deceitful means.
A sacrifice, a sacrifice
Reiteration of the theme of making a significant offering.
One black hand
Repetition of the contrasting symbol.
When I crossed the abyss two thousand years ago
A metaphorical journey across a great abyss, signifying a profound experience.
I never even dreamed so much power I would reach
Surpassing expectations in gaining immense power.
Till the point on my knife reached my lover's silken throat
A moment of realizing the personal cost of ambition, possibly metaphorical.
The only thing I'd sacrificed have been my fathers' sheep
A contrast between past sacrifices (literal sheep) and a more significant sacrifice.
