The last sacrifice
No way of escape
Stuck for life
Plummeting down the devil’s hole so no one else is hurt
Scary, sad, dreary
Where eternal darkness lurks
Stops
Gravity takes over, pushing the other way
The part they all dreaded
I wish I had a say
I make one hundred
That's all they need to stop this terrible act
A world without forced pain or fear, oh how I love it
I, the last sacrifice
No way of escape
Stuck for life
