close your eyes now time for dreams
death is never what it seems
did the things you thought you should
all the things they said were good
all your faith in ancient ways
leaves you trapped inside a maze
take the lives of those you need
sow the death then reap the seed
reap the seed
born an angel heaven sent
falls from grace are never elegant
stars will drop out of the sky
the moon will sadly watch the roses die
in vain
lost, no gain
but you're not taking me
you can't have my life
i'm not your sacrifice
you can try, but i'm free
and you won't conquer me
i won't crawl
most of all
i won't fall
for you

This song gives me goosebumps, and not the good kind. Why does all your songs have to be lyrically coming to the same conclusion, Major storm sadness ever lasting, death in vain and now this truth by mirrored eyes. Stop torturing my poor brain with all these sad yet tantalizing songs. They to good and it is just going to get so much better

Any chance you can reveal who the inspiration for the song is? I took a look at trying to break it down for Adam here.

I really like this version and the full version of the song.
Though I cannot catch the full lyrics. Is this it?
Show them gods and deities who like to keep the people on their knees, pierce the sky, escape your fate, the more you try the more you just (behave????). In life truth will rise, reveal thy mirror lies (??). What if all the plans you made, were not worth the price they paid, even with the lives you stole, still no closer to your goal. you can’t have my life
i’m not your sacrifice you can try, but i’m free and you won’t conquer me I won’t crawl most of all i won’t fall for you

It's December 1st. The fans are losing their minds. Itunes is taunting us. Buildings are on fire. People are screaming. Gavin is probably screaming...somewhere. We must stay strong.

You make a good point.
I'm pretty sure this is just happening so Barbara can make a "this will be the day we've waited for" pun, and I would be okay with that.

Hey Jeff, Just curious.
Is Casey influenced at all by Amy Lee of Evanescence, she hits those haunting notes just like her. Such a Beautiful voice, yet so young. it is just the impression i get from sacrifice.

hm, well that is super cool.
I think it is best when you have an eclectic taste in music. I Listen to just about every style of music, that is why im so appreciative of what you guys do for the Rwby soundtrack.... no song is very similar to one an other..... out of all the songs you have released "Shine" is top 3, i love the upbeat songs like Shine and Gold, but you still manage to kick ass with Rock songs and even abit of rap and Hip Hop stuff...Keep up the awesome work and i hope to hear more kickass tracks for volumes 3 4 5 6 and however many there are. Anyways im Blathering on and on. it is super cool that you respond to fans.

I wouldn't say that she is. I think she likes some Evanescence but wouldn't call her a fan. She doesn't own any of their songs. When it comes to big rock vocals (loud, screamy, aggressive type) Casey listens to male way more than female vocals. Seems like when she listens to female vocals they are move on the more chill side. Paramore would be the exception. Casey lstens to TONS of music. Like TONS. It's impossible to keep up with her.

Kind of reminds me of a really creepy version of Forever at the start. Nice job as always! Probably my favorite work from Casey yet.

This is the song I'm most looking forward to hearing the full version of. I feel like with the short version we've only been shown the first chapter of a story.

Thought-provoking lyrics! Makes me wonder if it's Yang talking to Raven. Come to think of it, from what we know it might also be Weiss talking to her father... Either way it's beautiful music to end the season on. Casey really nailed the vocals, too!
