The Martyr Songtext
von Andy Black

Do I want to forgive my sins while yours are still bleeding?
I forgot what it′s like to live and get lost in dreaming
Will you push me out into the great unknown?
Let me go, let me float through the darkness
Did I hold you back and throw it all away?
'Cause a lie is just fear that′s been honest

Trying to wake up with no safety net
Cut the strings and fall like a marionette

Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you're the martyr

Do I know where the truth begins, the pain that you′re speaking?
Can I betray your heart again and know what′s deceiving?
Did I give it up before it could unfold?
Like a knife, it shines red, perfect scarlet
Will you tear it up before my sorrow grows?
Because death has come back for the harvest


Trying to wake up with no safety net
Cut the strings and fall like a marionette

Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you′re the martyr
You never think twice, just believe that it's right
Your heart has grown numb from the hate you′ve become
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
′Cause you're the martyr

Don't ask me how I feel about you
Nothing, nothing
Don′t tell me how to make amends

Save yourself, it′s all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you're the martyr
You never think twice, just believe that it′s right
Your heart has grown numb from the hate you've become
Save yourself, it′s all you have and how you live
'Cause you′re the martyr
You're the martyr
