Sacrifice (Live 2013)

Lyrics

[Audience Applause] [Spoken: Björk] Hallo! [Audience Applause] [Spoken: Björk] I would like to introduce: Henry Dagg And his sharpsichord from Kent [Audience Applause] [Spoken: Björk] We didn't manage to travel with this around the world unfortunately, It's a shame But it's back you know, completed the cycle you know we started with it on Manchester and now we end here, It's our last Biophilia show so we're really all mushy and emotional, I'm sorry [Audience Applause] [Sharpsichord Introduction] [Verse 1: Björk] Why can't you give her room? Respect her spatial needs I feel you compress her Into a small space [Verse 2: Björk & Choir] With clairvoyance She knew what you needed And she gave it to you (Now her desirеs are repressеd) (Arrows in the flesh) [Verse 3: Björk, with Choir] When she, when found your love Her nature bowed her head Her nature bowed her head She renounced the world for you Now she's poisoned By demands you cannot answer [Verse 4: Björk] Why this sacrifice? Now she regrets the whole thing A delayed reaction When she left her craft voluntarily For your nest, for your love Did you understand? [Verse 5: Björk] Build a bridge to her Initiate a touch Before it's too late Say the words to her That will make her shine Tell her that you love her [Outro: Björk, with Choir] (Your generosity will show) (In the volume of her glow) (Your generosity will show) (In the volume of her glow) Your generosity will show In the volume of her glow Your generosity will show In the volume of her glow (Aah, Ooooohh) (Aah, Aah, Ooooohh) [Spoken: Björk] Henry Dagg! Thank you! [Transition into Bat Sounds/End Credits]
