lyrics

Alas the lives you have chosen to fight had died
Pity, i see, just a pawn for you to find the key
Close the gates, with your will, you control our fates
Another one gone, you continue 'til the job is done

An accolade for the martyrs of the damned
For all of their lives they served you without demands
With all the tears they've cried all the sorrow won't subside
They've trusted a god who just did nothing but lie

But for the sake of my people well it's worth a try
All while the church bells and sirens foretell
The story of a new age and a new life

So live and see the horizon has come to me
All promising new beginnings from the prophecy
Bear the weight from the dead and from the unborn
The present awaits, in their pockets they prepared to mourn

Everyday the angels follow me,
Hoping to stay for their company as
All my demons yearn the love from me for
They have felt none but cold and lonely

Reconcile the body mind and soul
Shake hands with the lives that you had stole
And bless them with the secrets left untold
Bitter than the bread and wine you've left to mold, the
Demons cry as they all wish to hold
All your glory covered all in gold
The truth of your mistakes starts to unfold
An imperfect god whose problems he cannot control

Although disposed
The grudges I hold, uphold
Dissolve the promises

You can take away my future
My hopes and dreams for the ones I'll nurture
The countless lives i have risked and died for
Just don't you dare hurt the ones i care for

This is why we will never deserve our demons
An empty soul wandering with no reason
Rejected, thrown out, as I have witnessed
Forgive them and you'll have my forgiveness

May their soul be at ease within the sand
For all of their lives they served you without demands
With all the tears they've cried, all the sorrow won't subside
They've trusted a god who just did nothing but hide

But for the sake of our people well it's worth a try
All while the church bells ring as angels bow down to the
Martyr of the Damned
