lyrics
The flame that burns me, keeps me warm
To cradle the burdens, that I have worn
The wound that pains me, the thorn in my side
Feeds on my envy and eats at my pride
Sacrament; the fire is breaking their bodies
Sacrament; their eyes staring out from the grave
Sacrament; the night-child is tearing their eyes out to see
Say a sacrament for me
Sacrament for me...
A time unwinding, the sands falling low
Tumbling beneath me, my destiny foretold
The embers are burning, the flames rising high
Flickering around me, they’re burning me alive!
Sacrament; the fire is breaking their bodies
Sacrament; their eyes staring out from the grave
Sacrament; the night-child is tearing their eyes out to see
Say a sacrament for me
Sacrament for me...
Woah-Woah!
Halleluiah
(Amen-amen!)
You take the poison, you feel the pain
You take the poison, but you’ll not live again
You take the poison, (take the poison), you feel the pain
You take the poison, but you’ll not live again
You take the poison, (take the poison) you feel the pain
You take the poison, but you’ll not live again
Not live again, not live again, no, no!
The lie everlasting, the serpent tongue of old
The scales that drip with snake oil
You’ve sold another soul!
The tail that feeds the hunger; ouroboros divine
The venom in your blood-flow, it’s poisoning your mind!
Sacrament; the fire is breaking their bodies
Sacrament; their eyes staring out from the grave
Sacrament; the night-child is tearing their eyes out to see
Save a sacrament for me!
It’s tearing their bodies away!
Sacrament; the night child is tearing their eyes out to see
Save a sacrament for me!
To cradle the burdens, that I have worn
The wound that pains me, the thorn in my side
Feeds on my envy and eats at my pride
Sacrament; the fire is breaking their bodies
Sacrament; their eyes staring out from the grave
Sacrament; the night-child is tearing their eyes out to see
Say a sacrament for me
Sacrament for me...
A time unwinding, the sands falling low
Tumbling beneath me, my destiny foretold
The embers are burning, the flames rising high
Flickering around me, they’re burning me alive!
Sacrament; the fire is breaking their bodies
Sacrament; their eyes staring out from the grave
Sacrament; the night-child is tearing their eyes out to see
Say a sacrament for me
Sacrament for me...
Woah-Woah!
Halleluiah
(Amen-amen!)
You take the poison, you feel the pain
You take the poison, but you’ll not live again
You take the poison, (take the poison), you feel the pain
You take the poison, but you’ll not live again
You take the poison, (take the poison) you feel the pain
You take the poison, but you’ll not live again
Not live again, not live again, no, no!
The lie everlasting, the serpent tongue of old
The scales that drip with snake oil
You’ve sold another soul!
The tail that feeds the hunger; ouroboros divine
The venom in your blood-flow, it’s poisoning your mind!
Sacrament; the fire is breaking their bodies
Sacrament; their eyes staring out from the grave
Sacrament; the night-child is tearing their eyes out to see
Save a sacrament for me!
It’s tearing their bodies away!
Sacrament; the night child is tearing their eyes out to see
Save a sacrament for me!

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sunsupported by 8 fans who also own “Hell's Sacrament (Single)”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
