The Martyr

Remember why you’re here
Remember why you're here
Fall for me
Lay yourself before the demon
Spread your legs, bite your lip, meet his eye
Drooling, engorged, wide-eyed, shaking, you’ve got him
Don’t fall for me
Don’t relent, invite him to you
Guide his hand, take his breath, consume him
Gasping, lusting, weakened, frozen, you’ve won
If you should peek beneath the veil
Don’t be surprised to find me there
I'm ashamed, a victim of the curse
I think I like the fight
Wrong feels so right, baby
I'm flirting with lunacy
Nothing can stop me and my sinful obsession
Please don’t forget what he is, my 'bel
A monster who designed the fear
Please don't forget who he is, my 'bel
A monster who enjoys the fear
(Listen to me)
Lick your lips as the sweat drips down
(Please don't forget who he is, my 'bel)
(Keep your focus)
And taste the torture as you
(Your one true love)
Crawl, begging for more, yea!
(Waits in anguish)
(A monster who designed the fear)
(Listen to me)
Lick your lips as the sweat drips down
(Please don't forget who he is, my ‘bel)
(Keep your focus)
And taste the torture as you
(Your one true love)
Crawl, begging for more, yea!
(Waits in anguish)
(A monster who designed the fear)
A victim of the curse
I think I like the fight
Wrong feels so right, baby
I'm flirting with lunacy
Nothing can stop me and my sinful obsession
My sinful obsession, yea
My sinful obsession yea
My sinful obsession
I think I like the fight
Wrong feels so right, baby
I'm flirting with lunacy
Nothing can stop me and my sinful obsession
My sinful obsession
My sinful obsession
My sinful obsession!
(Listen to me)
Lick your lips as the sweat drips down
(Please don't forget who he is, my ‘bel)
(Keep your focus)
And taste the torture as you
(Your one true love)
Crawl, begging for more, yea!
(Waits in anguish)
(A monster who designed the fear)
(Listen to me)
Lick your lips as the sweat drips down
(Please don't forget who he is, my ‘bel)
(Keep your focus)
And taste the torture as you
(Your one true love)
Crawl, begging for more, yea!
(Waits in anguish)
(A monster who designed the fear)
