Sacrifice/let There Be Peace Lyrics - Black Sheets Of Rain - Bob Mould

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 on 

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 choices can one person have? 

And all of the questions with no proper answers continue continue 

Have to go on, 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
