Sacrifice

from the fountain of youth we drink until it’s dry
we drink until we are drunk on life
we drink until we’re blind
we drink until we are ready
for the sacrifice
to endlessly
begin again

in the fountain of youth we drown ourselves
we drown until hope is gone
we drown until the sunshine is too far
we drown until everything is lost
amongst this sacrifice
neverending
finally

on the fountain of youth we float
float in sweet serenity
float in silent suffering
float towards the shore
where our sacrifice awaits
a new world
with the same old mistakes
