Lyrics for Power and Sacrifice

I want power, because it feels good I want power, I'll wash America with blood I want power, a clear blue light in the sky I feel power running through my veins and out my eyes And into empty, godforsaken minds without reality I feel power, I feel a sacrifice I am dead to right or wrong I want power, just like our father knew I want power, I'll put my hands in you I want power, though the Earth is lost and spinning I feel power buried in the ground Where twenty million died like heroes Stealing this same power that I'm feeling I feel power, I feel a sacrifice Now, my blood is feeling clean And I feel the power burning like a spear inside of me I feel good, I feel right I feel a sacrifice, I am right I am right, I am right I am right, I'm right I feel good, I feel right I am right, I'm right
