Bob Mould - Sacrificelet There Be Peace lyrics

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
