Unwritten Sacrifice - Magnum

Beautiful sky, innocent dreams

Pictures once kissed now dead

Letters from home, no greater love

Discarded books unread

No bird will sing, nothing will grow

Bring on the faithless night

Crimson the blood, on skin, oh, so white

Unwritten sacrifice

A fiery storm will bring desolation

Too much left unsaid

While the moon lights up devastation

All of us misled

Sacred heart burns bright

You hear the people sing hallelujah

Every name a cross

While the actors still try to fool you

Pacify the rot

Shake like the first night

Morning comes round, and life disappears

Quietly now he sleeps

Sand in his eyes, still open wide

Buried his secret keeps

Details are lost, how did he die?

No one can recollect

What was his name?

Who were his friends?

Give him his self-respect

A fiery storm will bring desolation

Too much left unsaid

While the moon lights up devastation

All of us misled

Sacred heart burns bright

You hear the people sing hallelujah

Every name a cross

While the actors still try to fool you

Pacify the rot

Shake like the first night

There’s a ghost, walks by your side

And for you no turning back

Murderous dance, nowhere to hide

Silent drummer in jet black

A fiery storm will bring desolation

Too much left unsaid

While the moon lights up devastation

All of us misled

Sacred heart burns bright

You hear the people sing hallelujah

Every name a cross

While the actors still try to fool you

Pacify the rot

Shake like the first night
