Evanescence- Sweet Sacrifice Lyrics

[BloodedWolfFang]

i remember when i was really young and when i first heard this song, her voice scared me and it haunted me. but now, i realize that amy lee's voice is beatuiful and haunting at the same time.

[BlueTheArcticFox]

We're all insane a little. In there's pathetic world, I don't know if anyone is still sane. Everyone nowadays is insane.

[PainedDarkness]

I made a picture of a anime cat with chains chaining her up on a wall, I absolutly love how i did the eyes...

"It's true... We're all a little insane..."

[xXKittenMMxX]

It says fear is only in our minds....

I wish Amy Lee was in mine, so I could write such good songs!!

"You poor, sweet innocent thing! Dry your eyes...and testify!" <333

[tharailwaydra]

as the mad hatter would say: "where all insane here!"

[rainandglitter]

He was my sweet sacrifice and now he lives only to break me.but one thing straight: he isn't a poor little sweet thing and i hope his eyes wont cry because of me in the first place.

[LilNiniMarsh]

dont judje me how about i judje you how does that make you feel LOL



[EmptyWalking]

I know they live to kill me. They know it. They're close. So close....

[Flashlight237]

Somebody call the epic police, because this song is too friggin epic.

[EmoTearz322]

EPIC WIN ! I DID IT !

[cassandsambesties]

I tried to do the high part but i failed epiclly.



[jessiegreen1013]

makes me freak since i wrote this and i scream and cry to sleep at night freaking out losing it feels like nothing to live for except death and heven

[Jinfangurl66061]

Evanescence makes my insanity just a little less horrible..<3~

[ballinslippers]

why do people even believe in god?

[Infernaper303]

@ballinslippers People need to believe there's something to go to after death. Something better. Safe.

[sunburst223]

@ballinslippers people just belive in Him you cant explain it. i know i belive

[Tstearns2012]

@sunburst223 just because you're afraid of something doesn't make you insane. EVERYONE is afraid of something, don't listen to the crap those people tell you.

[breannasis]

@sunburst223 That's not completely true. Some people are insane because of a traumatised past, or fears. Some people think I'm crazy because I'm still scared of the dark. There's nothing wrong with that, only because I got the scare of my life when I was little.

[estefiborges]

@breannasis im scared of the dark too so i dont think your crazy

[breannasis]

@DesiMonsterDarling Ok, but sanity isn't fun either. i have a friend who's not completely sane, but she's still cool.

[DesiMonsterDarling]

Actually being "Insane" Isn't fun

Yes I love this song and the band but having to be in the mental hospital for 3 years of your life because your mentally "Insane" isn't fun.

[sunburst223]

sanity is real. insane people are those who murder and smile wickedly when they do it. insane people are those who just lose it and love to end others lives

[Forsakensoul001]

@sunburst223 Guess I'm insane then, better go turn myself in... either that or I'm just a very sadistic person with a lack of empathy...

[midnightwallflower]

Real insanity is not as cool as you think, kids.

[grandtheftpro]

@midnightwallflower True that true that...

[grandtheftpro]

Respond to this video...

[darknesswolf199]

AND IT IS TRUE!!! WE R A (just a little) INSANE!!

[loudspeakerist]

@darknesswolf199 speak for yourself im full out mad

[darknesswolf199]

@loudspeakerist join the club buddy

[TheKylie1212]

LIKE FOR EVANESCENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[10tally]

I'm sane. There's people in the world who's sane. I don't know why y'all are just acting like everyone is insane. If you say you're insane, I take your word for it.

[TheKylie1212]

Like if You Love Evanscene!!!!

[FallOutBoygirl623]

i just had a really bad break up and i feel SO much better after listening to this! I LOVE AMY LEE!!!!!!

[SonidaMarks]

I'm getting a little sick of seeing those people post comments saying that "you say.. i say" music artists thing, because depending on how someone plays their life they will like what they may, you aren't going to change anything, so just listen to what you listen to and leave it be.

[Bambi179540]

O.o I like this song for some weird reason probably because of how true it is... @.@

[JayroseX]

this song means more to me than most people, and i have my reasons why

[you6tube9blows]

One Day I'm Gonna Forget Your Name. I thought she said "One Day I'm gonna fuck you,"

[RachelandSarah9698]

if it is real, sanity is sooooo overrated these days

[vampirelover0016]

i love this song its one of my favs

[darkangel0976]

i love her voice its like an angel singing for you XXD

[andrewdellapenta725]

@darkangel0976 hell yea its just like perfect

[PepperJoplin]

I sing to Amy's songs, and I find that it is very easy to either (A) start crying while singing (B) become incredibly pitchy due to the fact that I am so emotionally involved or (C) annoy my parents.

Love Evanescence.

Such deep meanings in their songs--not like eating a bowl of cereal on Friday morning, or 'fighting 'til the sunlight'.

[90schick150]

*If

[90schick150]

I don't get why people go to a video just to dislike it. Id\f you think about it, they're actually giving it another view. Haha what losers x]

[AlmostHuman102]

@90schick150 Well, perhaps they've never heard the song before. Hypothetically(because I like this song), if I go to this video and don't like the song, then I have a perfectly good reason to dislike it.

[Nnikostarss]

I love this song !!

[DarkAngel12298]

this is my favorite song, i'm insane, and i'm damn proud of it too!!

[beautifuldarknessluv]

This song gives my parents anxiety lol

[peacemakeralexisle]

Like if you are jammin' to this in '11.

[Cutefirewolf]

My friend and I just watched a certain movie, and we started listening to this, and we just said "Insane and proud." and did a high five.

[vampirewolfgirl123]

- hits like and subscribe and fav. - opps hand slipped! xD

[Dalilagirlcute4500]

@vampirewolfgirl123 So you did thatby accident? -.-

[vampirewolfgirl123]

@Dalilagirlcute4500

nope! XD

[FlameLover1003]

I'm insane and Goddammit I'm proud!

[emoninjafish665]

@FlameLover1003 Amen sista I'm with you on that!

[MixedKitten]

i closed my eyes and strangely saw a woman looking at a child that was her when she was a child and is telling her that she has caused her pain and in return the child will feel the pain she had....i have such a detailed imagination o.o

[kittygirl021597]

I do not suffer from insanity; I quite enjoy it. :D

[TheMrSexyLover]

I'll admit... I'm insane. What's wrong with it? This is a message to all the people who make fun of our insanity: I'm sure there's something wrong with you, too! You gotta just let it go! There is nothing wrong with me or any of the others who are insane. We are just as important as everyone else! If not, better.

[mrsmileyface543211]

why do people talk to the song when Amy Lee isnt even there? WTF

[ultimateanimenerd]

would it be wrong to sing this song to my little sister while acting lik ima sacrifice her?

[MidnightBloom3]

for some reason i dont really enjoy this song. I like the more eerie and mellow songs by Amy Lee...Either way, i love evanescence

[ILoveMuzzicc]

@MidnightBloom3 I feel ya dog, I feel ya.

[zimsluv18]

I swear... If have to listen to another Evanescence song tonight I'm gonna have nightmares. o_o

[MidnightBloom3]

@zimsluv18 Why? Does it scare you XD lol

[moonlightgirl12345]

@zimsluv18 Thats the best part :3 Lol Just kidding, i never really have nightmares..

[zimsluv18]

@moonlightgirl12345 I was jk. I really didn't mean it.

[MsMusicfan13]

This song is so damn awesome! I really cant stand rock&roll, metal, or that kind of stuff, but I LOVE all of Evanescence songs! :D

[ILoveMuzzicc]

@MsMusicfan13 well ms music fan I suggest you revalute what exactly you think music is..

Country music is just pretty much whining about anything.

Rap is bragging how they got 22 inch rims or all gold chains.. or how women are bitches n hoes.

Techo is only for poppin an X tab..( thats the only time I can stand it )

Im sure you get where im goin with this.

Rock music comes from deep in the soul. Its REAL. I just felt like giving u my opinion and I do respect urs.

Unles ur a JB fan.nevermind

[MsMusicfan13]

@ILoveMuzzicc I don't hate him, but im not a fan of Bieber... Anyway, you made a good point. I see what you mean, and when I said I could't stand rock music I meant specific kinds, I missed the word specific, I forgot to type it. (I do that sometimes...) Anyway, nice comment, it made me laugh. :D

[IloveNikiManaj]

9 PEOPLE are A:just jelous because the cant sing like her B:missed the like button C:or they are just jerks

[IloveNikiManaj]

fear IS only in our mind that is true and that it IS takeing over all the time

[wolfiejudge]

man this stuff people do to scare you, i think the song covers on fears that you have that you put on you or you just had all your life dont know?

[FrEaK4LiFe13]

to me this song means that all the shit youve been put through has been killing you inside andall the time you tried to be nice...you did nothing wrong...but it became too much. and now your dark side has come out and you are ready to get revenge....to make them feel the pain that youve been suffering with for so long.....you can no longer feel it.....just the need to make them see what theyve done to u.....no more tears.....you were weak and broken...until anger made you realize all of this....

[MidnightBloom3]

@FrEaK4LiFe13 So true.... thats a summary of my life right there :O

[roxypen]

wow this song makes me horny makes me wanna fuck my bf right now eventhough his friend is sitting right there grr

[GagagirlX]

This is Epic >:P I would use this to fight with someone xD

[chicarok32]

like this if.... wait i hate it when ppl do that...?

[MsCrazyNewton]

When she says forget your name, does anybody else hear Fuck it out?

[MissMaddy881]

@MsCrazyNewton no, i've listened to this song like 1,000 times and i haven't heard that at all.

[SophieKittenfat]

@MsCrazyNewton Not until you mentioned it.

[MsCrazyNewton]

@SophieKittenfat Well it does sound like it lol

[SophieKittenfat]

@MsCrazyNewton Yeah, it does..... lol......

[LunarGalaxyPower]

to get to the point quickly: THEY ARE ALL GREAT IT IS FREAKING CHAIN MAIL PPL!! GEEZ, GROW UP! All of the listed singers are AWESOME, so just shut up and DEAL WITH IT!

[LunarGalaxyPower]

Yo, guys, really?! who ever made that thing maybe is not saying that they dont like lady gaga or taylor swift, but maybe is saying that the older songs but good singers are disappearing because of some newer songs made by other great singers. I like lady gaga and evanescence. But I liked the post because these singers are dying out, and need to be remembered for thier music.

[BChanse]

Gosh,i hate chain posts idots who have way to much time on their hands

I mean reallty jade is right its your chose who or what you life

[boigoeshome]

@JadeEmeraldorable WTF man...why the hell are you comparing Eminem with Linkin park, there both good songs, and stop posting these damm chain posts, people like you ar only ruining the highest rated comments with these chain posts, the music styles your comparing doesnt fit togeter at all, all people have their own style, so? i like both eminem, evanescence and linkin park, so we dont care if you especially like rock, metal, whatever

[myrezpro]

@JadeEmeraldorable First of all, stop posting this idiotic chain posts.

Secondly, you might hate Lady Gaga's music, but you've got to respect her. She is a great musician in her field, and eventhough I don't like her work, I don't have any problem saying that.

By the way, Green Day and Linkin Park suck. Liked them when I was about 10. Won't make that mistake again.

Oh, and Linkin Park can be counted as rock little more than eminem, and I assume that he is a better musician then them...

[greenday2themax]

@myrezpro I like Green Day but just a bit. I used to be in love with them, clearly by my name but still getting out a lot........but I love Evanescence!!!!!! And Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson....ect.

[ElenaTheMonster]

@JadeEmeraldorable Lady Gaga and Evanescence are my two favorites, don't compare them!

[MsNinjaGirl237]

@JadeEmeraldorable You forgot a 'Y'

also This is stupid! Rock is still living. Shut up



[shyanne4cad]

@MsNinjaGirl237 If rock died I would die with it. Since I'm typing this I'm alive, and if I'm alive so is rock.

[MsNinjaGirl237]

@shyanne4cad Nobody said it DIED! As long as there is music THERE WILL BE ROCK and nothing will die!

[Tawnyshine]

@JadeEmeraldorable hey hey, I agree with all of these EXCEPT the Eminem jube.

Don't be dissin mah Shady :|

[Tawnyshine]

@JadeEmeraldorable *jibe x.x

[anateresa13]

we are.

[MegaDarksunrise]

im insane

[InvaderBel]

Evanescence has me captivated. I am a slave to their music! EVANESCENCE ROCKS ME TO MY CORE!

[MissEmo321]

love this song

[TheMossTalon]

Well.. I testify against sanity. No one these days is sane.. I mean.. You clearly do not know me or my friends!

[SophieKittenfat]

@TheMossTalon And it's not very fun being sane.....

[animegirl24319]

@TheMossTalon insane is the new cool ;)

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@TheMossTalon Sanity is but a lose hold clamped on you early in life by heaven and innocence, but as your life burns in the shadows it becomes more twisted burnt and dark until the holds of sanity is incerated, letting your wings of insanity fly you to new worlds, each one more twisted and dark than the first one, yet so fun. And even as your blood-soaked face fills with fear and regret you just can't help but smile at the bloodied tears from you and past-love enveloped in shadows. Isn't it fun?

[Naticpeebody]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3: Your comment has to be the exact copy of mine O_O I was thinking the same thing.... marry me?

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@Naticpeebody I have to meet your family first. XD

[Naticpeebody]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3: We shall plan >:D It will be glorious!

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@Naticpeebody OKAY! I'LL ORDER THE BLOOD FOUNTAIN YOU GET THE RARE SPIDERS! >=D

[alyshaya]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3 that was deep!



[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@alyshaya Thanks! ^^

[jesuslover16711]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3 it isn't fun bc you loose control of yourself and the things around you people get hurt mostly yourself and you become this empty hollow shell. you can't enjoy life and you hide inside yourself. i was close to insanity and it was not fun but it was lonely and depressing andi lived most of my childhood in my mind closed myself from everyone never told anyone that my very breath disgusted me and how i couldn't stand being alive. i never showed anyone the attempts to my life

[Boddahism]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3 I wrote Sweet Sacrifice at the age of 15 in 1983. Joe Elliott of Def Leppard & unknown Kurt Cobain discovered me while on US tour for Pyromania. Joe & I were working on Pour Some Sugar On Me when he asked how would use Walk This Way from Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic in a song "Step inside, WALK THIS WAY". Toys in the Attic is a eupemism for "INSANE" or "Go Crazy". I also wrote "Let's Go Crazy" for Prince. I am the real Amy Lee & the lead singer uses my name

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@Boddahism If this was a true, I have a feeling you wouldn't respond to random girls on the internet, still, I query the notion. Wish to talk inn Pm's? If it's true that you wrote this song, I would like to know what your inspiration was for it. IF it's true of course.

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@Boddahism Ahem. Nevermind. You have commented the same thing on nearly every Evanescense song. I saw this looking at your channel. It was even the same exact message as if though you just copy and pasted this everywhere with out even a thought. Also your claims are ridiculous. I already expected you to be a fake but perhaps one with some interesting theories to spew out of their mouth at the least, however, you aren't even dillusional, you're just saddly scrambling for attention it seems.

[Boddahism]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3 I did post something similar, but I also added the inspirations for some of the songs when I wrote them. So, the posts do change. Not everyone, like you, looks at the messages much less goes to listen to all the songs, like you have. Attention seeking I am not. If this had been the case, I would have performed the songs myself when I had the chance. I also would have played Joe Elliott's cat & mouse game. Lookng up the meaning of Evanescence, there was a reason.

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@Boddahism In this case, why would you go around telling random people your songs are famous?

[Boddahism]

@6WingedHydraPheonix3 I want the public to know the real meaning of the songs and inspiration for writing them. The bands or artists have a well written scripts which they recite about the meanings which are usually based on something about my life. At 15 I was concerned my religious family would not approve. A lot of my songs were inspired by Michael Hutchence and INXS, even Kurt Cobain. I suppose it's time the world deserves to knows the truth about these very talented men we lost so young.

[sunechirei]

@Boddahism So you wrote songs for Queen when you were four? Yeah. Don't think so. You want attention. You want a reaction from people. It's slightly disturbing. If you really wanted people to know the truth, then why not give this to the media. They. Would. Love it. Oh wait, you can't, because it's not true :)

[Boddahism]

@sunechirei I started writing songs for Queen at 16 in '84. "One Vision" was inspired by INXS song "The One Thing". "The Show Must Go On" was inspired by Alan Parson's Day after Day (The Show Must Go On) and I also wrote Day after Day for Def Leppard inspired by the same song. They have control of the media and are in on all this. Michael Jackson brought Jane Fonda who was married to Ted Turner in to meet me, Sir Bob Geldof & Paula Yates (TV Presenter & writer), movie studios, tv studios, etc

[sunechirei]

@Boddahism So you're telling me that a song on the last album Freddie Mercury was alive for, released in 1991 was written by you? How could you do that? Freddie Mercury was an amazing artist and you're taking all of his credit... and I thought you were 15 in '84? I hope you realize that my cousin is an accountant for many of these people you've mentioned. I can just ask her to get this information.

[Boddahism]

@sunechirei No, 2 songs on the last album I wrote. I'm not taking away the fact that Queen brilliantly performed the songs, I just wrote them. I made up Innuendo around '89, it was inspired by lyrics in Adam Ant's Goody Two Shoes "subtle innuendos follow". This is why in the lyrics for Innuendo "good" is sung by Freddie 19 times.  I was 16 in '84 and 15 in '83 when Joe Elliott discovered me. I'm not sure how an accountant could help you find out, but ask away.

[catsrock2me]

@TheMossTalon Obviously. We don't even know U.

[bluejollyrancher1]

@TheMossTalon I'M INSANE HEHE ASK ANYONE IN MY NEIGHBOR HOOD

ON NEW YERAS I RAN AROUND MY BLOCK SCREAMING "HAPPY NEW YEARS!"

[York20165]

@bluejollyrancher1 wow . . .o.o

[SchizoFoxtrot]

@bluejollyrancher1 That, my friend, is hyperness. Insanity and being hyper is very different. Learn the difference.

[mrsmileyface543211]

@bluejollyrancher1 xD!

[KeshaKendra]

@TheMossTalon i dont think sanity is even real

[HollBeth18]

@KeshaKendra Everybody asks me if I suffer from insanity I tell them no I enjoy every minute of it

[KeshaKendra]

@HollBeth18 ya but seriously even people who seem sane has their problems.

[HollBeth18]

@KeshaKendra i kno and then judge people who have fun with it

[MeMowification]

@KeshaKendra SANITY IS REAL GET USED TO IT :D

[shadamy80]

@MeMowification i know i got vodo dolls at home ^^

[AwakenedDarkness666]

@MeMowification thats a lie sanity is very false

[TheDarkendOnes]

@KeshaKendra What is this sanity that you speak of ?

[KeshaKendra]

@TheDarkendOnes hmmmm... idk! Must be some crazy made up word!

[nutshellful]

All the best people are insane-Alice in wonderland (the father then daughter) 

[greendisease29]

"Hey, mom... can i borrow your chainsaw?"

"Why?"

"I have to kill 8 people who hate Sweet Sacrifice"

"All alone? I'm coming, too."

" Nahhh, I got 426 people coming with me."

" Yeah, but how can anyone hate evanescence?"

[ultimateanimenerd]

im going to sing this to my little sister :)

[6WingedHydraPheonix3]

@ultimateanimenerd That's slightly disturbing.

[shojogirl93]

i want someone to shoot me so i can forget abot my ex

tat wat u called insane xD

[H3AdpH0N3z]

This song actually means a lot more to me than most ppl, i'm not sure if this is the meaning of the song but I get anxiety attacks because of something that someone did to me a while back.. && so this song means coping and moving on from the fear, too me, that isbut i like this song a lot because it describes how it i sliving in fear all the damn time && that we need to move on, plus i'm a huge fan of Amy, lol ^.^

[MindlessClique]

@H3AdpH0N3z OMG I have panic/anxiety disorder as well and it's alomst something most people will fully understand, but it sure takes a lot to face things like that. Hope everything's well. Take care :]

[H3AdpH0N3z]

@MindlessClique Yes, it most certainly does. :) thank you, hun. You take care, yourself. <3

[dakota84458]

@H3AdpH0N3z omg i'm so sorry

[katelynmccorts11]

@H3AdpH0N3z wut did that sum1 do 2 u

[XscenesarahleighX]

@H3AdpH0N3z were u raped ??

[MissMaddy881]

@H3AdpH0N3z i'm from new orleans and this reminds me of something that happened here a long time ago, like during slavery.

[TMSVioloncellist]

@H3AdpH0N3z :)

[Jinxxfan]

@H3AdpH0N3z whut happened to you a long timeago, ik it isn't my buisness but maybe if its that bad then it's fine if you don't tell me.

[PepperJoplin]

@H3AdpH0N3z

I agree.

[TheEvanescence1234]

@H3AdpH0N3z I hope you don't get mad at me for asking, but what did they do to you???

[LauDor08]

7 people must have not listened to the whole song

[MSxSlushi]

Silly girl, fear doesn't exist.

[reesrocks]

Thumbs up if you hate the comments requesting for thumbs up!!! :D

[1998sara]
