Martyrs Lyrics

Martyrs lyrics

look at me, I am the crippled now

could you ever hold me again?

Did
you ever look and see what I was

Ever was I known when I was true?

And if this is all I am

Then peace becomes my rotten soul



They split themselves apart

And chase away those adored

they
leave behind the binding hope

they chose to fight, in fear of this

I hear a million cries

pleas: only _to be heard_

I see a million
smiles

pasted on faces of pain



they are scaling worlds

oblivious to their own

all for fear of being hurt

all for fear
of being known



all on their own

never asking on

they
fall

martyrs for lies



forget: your prejudice

embrace:
me just once

set aside the horrid smiles

fall with me to know this
vision

the lights blur and become as one

none are left to fend or
restore

and time no longer forces fear

for we know now what we
share

forget, embrace, the time will come
