Bob Mould - Sacrifice/Let There Be Peace Lyrics

If I ride on the rails, I shall ride them alone
If I need all this pain, I will find it alone
If I'm wanted for leaving, I will leave here alone
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
Oh, let me be free
Oh, if the strain on your conscience gets under your skin
And leads you to making a sacrifice, sacrifice me
Oh, 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
Oh, let me be free
Oh, and all of the hypocrites lie through their teeth
Talk about making a sacrifice, sacrifice me
Oh, let there be peace, [Incomprehensible] yeah

How much longer can all this go on?
How many more chances can one person have?
And all of the questions 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
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
Of the beautiful people who live without flaws?
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
Success is a virtue to share with the world
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)

But failure's a lesson that's best learned alone
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
Respect is a virtue that strong men command
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
But when words become weapons [Incomprehensible]
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)

There'll be peace in the valley of death when I rise
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
There'll be peace in the valley of death when I rise
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
There'll be peace in the valley of death when I rise
(Sacrifice, sacrifice, let there be peace)
