3.0 Song

"My Sacrifice" Lyrics." CREED LYRICS. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Apr. 2016.
Lyrics of the song My Sacrifice from the Album Weathered by the Band Creed
Creed's song My Sacrifice is about the savior hero archetype.  The song begins with the singer recounting of a story in which a friend sacrificed themselves in the name of love.  The song then continues by outlining how the singer feels about the person that sacrificed themselves to save them.  He refers to his friend as his sacrifice by saying "my sacrifice".  The next portion of the song outlines the journey the singer went on without his friend with him.  The singer then rejoices when the two are reunited.  He then goes even deeper into outlining how happy he is to see his friend and burst into tears because his friend makes him believe.  The song shows how deep the emotional connection people have with the savior hero archetype.  It shows that people are brought to tears knowing that a friend could lay down their own life for theirs in the form of the savior hero archetype.
