Sweet Sacrifice

Sweet Sacrifice, described as a song about "a post-relationship catharsis that head-dives from an otherworldly intro into a hard-driving thrash of hard rock guitars and soaring rock vocals" by Evanescence.com.

The listener is captivated by Amy's universe as the very first notes start off. Amy repeatedly takes a deep breath in order to absorb us for an hour. Terry's guitar part flirts with high notes, as Amy's voice follows the same tonality path.

Amy is quoted as saying:
