This face and lips tremble as it rips Your breath quickening as heat rushes in
[Chorus] Pull Harder on the String of your Martyr Stop you cry that′s a lie Flush gasping white reddening You smile and destroy it It′s time that we end this It′s our curse that make this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
Clawing the skin each kill your weakness Annihilation your masturbation Tyrant, I′ll burn you down
[Chorus] Pull Harder on the String of your Martyr Stop you cry that′s a lie Flush gasping white reddening you smile and destroy it It′s time that we end this It′s our curse that make this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings It′s our curse that make this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings My hands grip your throat I need your end Burned, Stalked, ripped apart - I avenge For every life you have taken I am here to repay You ask me "oh god why?" ′cause i′m god that′s fucking why For every life you have taken I am here to repay
[solo]
[Chorus] Pull Harder on the String of your Martyr Stop you cry that′s a lie Flush gasping white reddening you smile and destroy it It′s time that we end this It′s our curse that make this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings It′s our curse that make this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings It′s our curse that make this world so hopeless Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
Speaking interpretation A conversation can take a sudden turn And reaching the point of violence Because your silence left you without a hand to hold
Your past will lead you on to make...
Making a final judgement Based on your bias will never bring you forward Terror should never guide you For even the fearful can take a beating in the end
Suspicion gets you nowhere
Those who denounce a way of life Will stand alone Left to atone their social blunders If you gun down the messenger You guarantee that he will be made Into a saint A martyr of the free word
I will say I will say what I think I will do I will do what I say When liberty seems out of reach We′ll fight for our freedom of speech
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis
Missing a simple context A mental weakness can throw you out of balance Listen, respect each other Then you′ll discover It wasn′t [...] It′s not too late for mercy
Those who denounce a way of life Will stand alone Left to atone their social blunders If you gun down the messenger You guarantee that he will be made Into a saint A martyr of the free word
I will say I will say what I think I will do I will do what I say When liberty seems out of reach We′ll fight for our freedom of speech
A heroine, a deity on heroin, or vanity To jack their personality, beyond normal humanity. A crowd of massed humanity bow and worship diligently. He′s built a loyal following and they steer him thoroughly.
But jealous man plots from the pews, no need for valid righteousness. One slightly truthful word set free, will turn the tides quite easily. Our accusations need not be what would bury mortal man. The sins of our own deity are tiny, but on these we stand.
So once upon the podium, a crucifix we then erect, And nail our hero heartily, hands and feet, we bind his neck. The reasons for our worship fades, our Idol drenched in his own blood, Forgotten are the virtues that we, valued beyond royalty.
Such joy we dig his shallow grave, anticipating pains to come. We watch the wriggling dance of death, and laugh light hearted at deaths fun. We pounded out the joyous light. Our saviors buried now for years. A legend now of time gone by, A martyr of forgotten tears.
What I thought was life Came to an end Born into a world I never asked for this I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away!
Born into hardship World of destruction Suffer, bastard Suffer, bastard I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away!
Take me to heaven Adorn me with wings Suffer, bastard I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away!
Suffer, bastard...
[Repeat 1st verse, 2nd verse]
I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away I′ve got to get away
She was sixteen and six feet tall in a crowd of teenagers comin′ out of the zoo She stumbled started to slip and fall teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes I happened to catch her and said, "maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
Maybe for you, now
But not as shaky as I must have seemed talkin′ junk through her giggle -- little teenage dream And on the phone I could not compete my dumb-love fake competence was getting weak For a sec′ I thought I sounded sweet but sure ′nough in a gruff, faint voice I heard myself speak
I could stay a while but sooner or later I′ll break your smile And I can tell a joke but one of these days I′m bound to choke And we could share a kiss but I feel like I can′t go through with this And I bet we could build a home but I know the right thing for me to do Is to leave you alone
Leave you alone, now
I′m beginning to like you so you probably won′t get what I′m going to do I′m walkin′ away from you it probably don′t make much sense to you But I′m trying to save you from all of the things that I′ll probably say or do
Probably do
I could stay a while but sooner or later I′ll break your smile And I can tell a joke but one of these days I′m bound to choke And we might share a kiss but I feel like a can′t go through with this And I bet we could build a home but I know the right thing for me to do Is to leave you alone
Leave you alone, now
You probably call me a fool and say I′m doin′ exactly what a coward would do And I′m beginning to like you it′s a shame; what a lame way to live But what can I co I hope you appreciate what I do
On my martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you, now A martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you
