High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Sweet Sacrifice" is a song by American rock band Evanescence. It was released on May 25, 2007, as the third single from their second studio album, The Open Door. It was written by Amy Lee and Terry Balsamo while the production was handled by Dave Fortman. "All That I`m Living For" was initially planned to be the third single, as announced at live concerts and online. However, due to requests from the band and fan reaction, Wind-up reconsidered its release and announced that "Sweet Sacrifice" would be the band`s third single from The Open Door. Evanescence`s lead singer Amy Lee wrote the song about the abusive relationship that inspired all of the songs on the group`s debut record Fallen (2003).
