I think you're taking that line way too literally.

I took it to mean that Ozpin is sacrificing people ("take the lives of those oyu need...") in order to achieve some goal ("Sow the death then reap the seed.''"), in the sense that he is using people as a means to an end. The ends might be noble (world peace, probably) but Cinder or whoever is singing "Sacrifice" doesn't feel the ends justifies the means.
