MARTYR A.D. LYRICS

1. Faithless (Pt. 1)

[Instrumental]

2. Bring Out Your Dead

You see this world as your own
You think this life is yours
I've come to break you down
You're a commodity
This flesh is not your own
Your blood is currency
The beast has drawn your number
Stand straight,fall in line
All of your prayers won't be heard anymore
Your blood had been programmed to baptize the floor
And your grave is just a hole in this
Cold dead ground
This world has died around you
A fucking worthless cause
The eulogy is written
The casket burning
Begin the funeral march
Bend on your broken knees
They've drawn your fucking number
Stand still, taste the pain
All of your prayers won't be heard anymore
Your blood has been programmed to baptize the floor
And your grave is just a hole
In this hell
They've got your fucking number
I've got your fucking number
They got your fucking number
You're screaming, they're calling, you're bleeding
You're bleeding, you're hearing the calling
Bring out your dead

3. The Serpent and The Flower

We've seen your moral fabric
Come apart at the seams
We've seen your faceless children
Sleeping with unanswered dreams
We've seen the aftermath
Of wars fought in the name of god
Rise up and name your fate
The time has come to burn you down
Blessed be the union
Of the goat and the human
Blessed be the hour
Of serpent and the flower
Blessed be the day
When your strength is torn away
You've named your saint and sinners
With your unseeing biased eyes
Your children hold uncaring hands
Just before they die
Self righteousness, eternal greed
Between these hallowed walls
This forced attrition, down the throat
Inside the sacred hall
Your strength is torn away

4. American Hollow

You're a tragedy with a tongue
You're the last ditch effort at nothing
Sit down and strap yourself tight
I'll blow you away
I'm your suicide, I'am your homicide
I know where you hide'cuz I'am you inside
I know how and why to hurt you
I'll never leave you
I know why your life is empty
I know why you'll always stay
You're sickened mouth of depravity
You're herpetic limbless and fake
The last ignorant pacifist
I'll blow you away
I know how you've been so "wrangled"
And how how the world is your enemy
How they kicked you down, how they left you
I'll never leave you
I know why your life is empty
I know why you'll always stay
I am the reason you're always bleeding
I know why you'll always stay
Hollow
I am inside of you
I know why your life is empty
I know why you'll always stay
I am the reason you're always bleeding
I know why you'll always stay
I am inside of you

5. Late Night Faith Healer

Another passing moment
Another dead cliche
Another jaw closes
Around my throat today
I remember what I told you
But can't remember why
How we always ruin our only chance
How we're waiting here to die
I'll peel off my skin
I'll blacken both my eyes
I'll ask another question
No reply
I'll peel off my skin
Beneath a empty sky
I'll laugh my life away
And give up one more time
Another murdered minute
An hour put to rest
An allotment of time given up
To sit and wait for death
I remember what I told you
I could've sworn that you were deaf
How everything takes a piece of me
How now there's nothing left
Nothing fucking left
I don't believe in miracles anymore
I can't believe in miracles anymore

6. Misery Dance

I won't be saved
Say a prayer for me
Because I fucking need one
Ghosts sent to torment me
Bleeding me every fucking night
I can taste my private hell
Grinning as it envelops me
I was born with a mark on my head
I will die with the heart of the damned
If I could just
Play dead forever
Maybe I could make sense of this
I'am slowing down, I'am giving up
This surreality is fucking choking me
If this is my life, I've had enough
This black reality
Is a sad excuse for life
Another night brings home
Another fucking rain
So say another prayer for me
But I won't be saved
Breathing an air of disgust
Cut from the cloth of disgrace
Watching this misery dance
Along the lines in my face
Say a prayer for me
But I won't be saved
Watching misery dance along my face

7. Valley of Solitude

Burn me alive
This place is dead to me
A breeding ground of tragedy
My enemies at my arms length
A dark past right at my heels
This place is the death of me
With its familiarity
Breathing down my tired neck
In the company of the sick
Burn me alive
This is not
Hell but you can see it from here
In the place I have grown to fear
Where devils laugh and angels cry
Where light and dark collide
The red sky is searing me
Swallowing my serenity
Where hatred makes its nest
Inside my hollowed chest
There's nothing sacred here
In the valley of solitude
We take pain with gratitude
There's nothing sacred here
Where death has gone to hide
Where light and dark collide
There's nothing sacred here

8. The Last Words of Any Meaning

[I. Diagnosis]

[Instrumental]

[II. Terminal]

You're a thief in the night
Soul stealer, seller of fright
Sever the cords of the voiceless
Just to show your might
Your words like daggers
From your throat
I've seen them kill
Now I'll watch you choke
You're a villain
In disguise
A devil in angel wings
We're calling
Calling you out
It's time to revolt
The real me
Could fucking destroy you
The real me
Could fucking kill
I will fucking destroy you
I look through
The eyes of hell

9. Beneath the Plague

Are you even listening
Can you taste the disgust in my eyes
Do you fucking blame me
For the fact that you hate
What you have created here
Feed me
On guilt and misery
Teach me
With hate and tragedy
I'm of your rib
You carved my bone
And now you leave me
To die alone
I refuse to breathe like this
I'll be waiting
In hell with a gun
I have six bullets for your soul

10. Into Stone

Nesting a seed of hate in my bones
This a sacrament
Telling me to hide away
Never again will they have
Strip the life out of their eyes
A gift of torture
Telling me there is no way
Out of this fucked up world
No way out of this dying world
I dream of silence
A place where only sadness lives
A tongueless existence
This muted life I give to you
Another tragic hero
That bastard child here is me
Rejected from the womb
This chance to live was my chance to breathe
My Chance to breathe
A ruthless bitch with a carrion smile
Guides my hands and blinds me
Give me life, give me death
Show me how to hate them all
I never asked any favors of them
They never gave any in return
A sad death of another sick mother fucker
Another headline unread
Carve my name in stone

11. The Dead Reprise
