The Weeknd - Sacrifice (Lyrics)

The music video for "Sacrifice", directed by Cliqua, was released alongside the song and parent album on January 7, 2022,[12][13] and serves as the sequel to the music video of "Take My Breath". It begins with the Weeknd, who is dazed and confused, being brought towards a theoretical light at the end of a tunnel; while a snippet of Dawn FM's title track, featuring narration by actor Jim Carrey, is played in the background. He then wakes up out of breath as a result of the events that occurred in the "Take My Breath" music video. As he tries to catch his breath, he is abducted by a hooded cult and tied to a wheel-like contraption to be used for a human sacrifice. As the cult members gather around him, a veiled female figure in a red cloak appears and takes his soul away. A series of psychedelic-hued visuals, strobe lighting and dance numbers are then showcased. The Weeknd is then seen singing into a microphone while holding the stand with metal gauntlets. As the sacrifice continues, his hands become horrifically scarred, with the red-cloaked female having stolen his youth. The Weeknd is then seen giving his own variation of Michael Jackson's foot shuffle before the cult members disperse and The Weeknd tumbles out in a fading shot.[14][15]

The Weeknd - Sacrifice (Lyrics)

The track begins with the lyrics, "I was born in a city / Where the winter nights don't ever sleep / So this life's always with me / The ice inside my veins will never bleed." The Weeknd then goes on to sing, "Uh, every time you try to fix me / I know you'll never find that missing piece / When you cry and say you miss me / I lie and tell you that I'll never leave, but / I sacrificed (Sacrificed) / Your love for more of the night (Of the night) / I try to put up a fight (Up a fight) / Can't tie me down (Down)." 041b061a72
