Sacrifice / Jeff Williams / RWBY Vol. 2 Soundtrack
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is Sacrifice by Jeff Williams, the song in the credits of the finale of Monty Oum's series RWBY season 2.
Monty passed away recently and this is my addition to what he has brought to the world.
Tuning: Drop D (Electric/Original) or Standard (Acoustic)
The way I've written this allows it to either be played in Drop D with power chords on electric or in standard
tuning acoustically. Any (bracketed) chords are the acoustic chords only and any [square bracketed] chords are
not in the actual song but I think they sound better there.

This continues into Verses 1 and 2:
[Verse 1]
D5
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
[Verse 2]
D5
All your faith in ancient ways leaves you trapped inside a maze
D5 E
Take the lives of those you need. Sow the death and reap the seed
E
Reap the seed
[Verse 3]
Am F E F E F E F E
Born an angel heaven sent, falls from grace are never ele - gant
Am F
Stars will drop out of the sky, the moon will sadly watch the roses die
[Prechorus 1]

In vain. Lost, no gain. But you're not taking me
[Chorus]
Am F Dm C Dm*
You can't have my life
Am F Dm
I'm not your sacrifice
C Dm* F(maj7) Em Dm Am
You can try but I'm free and you won't conquer me
Fdim(F) E [E/G#] Am
I won't crawl, most of all I won't fall for you
[Verse 4]
Am F E F E F E F E
Show them gods and deities. Blind and keep the people on their knees
Am F
Pierce the sky escape your fate. The more you try the more you'll just breed hate
[Prechorus 2]
Em F Em F Em Dm
And lies. Truth will rise, revealed by mirrored eyes.
