Take Me

Go ahead, take
everything I have
Take my heart and
twist it 'till it breaks
Take my soul and
blacken it with the evil
of the years.
Take me and destroy me
as you have done with so
many others.
But count me as a sacrifice
for those you plan to murder
with your evil.
Leave them to live
Leave them to love
Leave them to forget
as I suffer for their lives.
Take me in their place.
