(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice
Poison · Double Dose: Ultimate Hits [2011]
You give me an inch I'm gonna take it
I'll steal your love like a thief
To be as one is my belief
Don't look back have no regrets
Like beasts of prey we must feed on it
I'll be your one, your one and only
To feel me burn come close and hold me
Flesh and blood sacrifice
Melts the heart like fire and ice
Flesh and blood like fire to ice
Are you willing to sacrifice
There's no more time don't think about
The flames will die if you doubt
It's a game of love and hate
To lose it all is a chance we take
Come to me and take my hand
It's in the fire that we must stand
I'll take you down under my gun
Our flesh and blood will be as one
Flesh and blood sacrifice
Melts the heart like fire and ice
Flesh and blood like fire to ice
Are you willing to sacrifice
Our blood runs deeper than a river
The less you need the more I'm going to give you
And give you but good
Solo
Flesh and blood sacrifice
Melts the heart like fire and ice
Flesh and blood like fire to ice
Are you willing to sacrifice
