Martyr Songtext
von Across Oceans

Pray
I tried to play but my mouth was too full
From the lies you sold my soul
We were made to believe you were a martyr
Hide the coward behind the altar
You put the body in my mouth
And drank the blood like wine
I was born to be a heretic
In the shadow of your shrine


You take the shame and place the blame
On the blood of the innocent
You shall have no false gods before me
Choke on your words as you play god

Blood of the innocent your white robe stained
Under the weight of the steeple you know your shame

A sunday service of a thousand cuts
Penance and piety betrayed
The word of god does not flow through your tongue
The peoples faith betrayed

And as you lay in the afterglow, another lice destroyed
You repent and throw your sins away
But remorse is for the dead, guilt is for the the living

Our father who art in heaven
Thy kingdom come, thine will be done on earth as it is
In Hell
