[Verse:] With a faithful broken promise of the lies
The virtues beaten down into your empty eyes
A saint is not a weapon, it's a message, a message
A sermon of shame, a demon that you want to blame
Sell you, change you, leave you in a world of flames
Pain is not a blessing, it's a lesson, a lesson

[Pre-Chorus:] Don't bow down to a world of hate
From your cradle to the grave

[Chorus:]
'Cause even if you sacrifice beliefs to get through!
And even if you take the side of lies over truth!
Every day (every day), the world will take what you give into!
So hold on to every breath of life, in a world of sacrifice!

[Verse 2:] A personal slave, the one you left to die in vain
Sold you, changed you, taught you all their selfish ways
Faith becomes an addiction
Not ambition

[Pre-Chorus:] Don't bow down to a world of hate
From your cradle to the grave

[Chorus:] Even if you sacrifice beliefs to get through!
And even if you take the side of lies over truth!
Every day (every day), the world will take what you give into!
So hold on to every breath of life, in a world of sacrifice!

[Bridge:] Hold on, in a world of sacrifice!
Hold on, until your last breath is gone!
Hold on, in a world of sacrifice!
Hold on, until your last breath is gone!

[Chorus:] 'Cause even if you sacrifice beliefs to get through!
And even if you take the side of lies over truth!
Every day (every day), the world will take what you give into!
So hold on to every breath of life, in a world of sacrifice!
In a world of sacrifice, in a world of sacrifice.
