March of the Martyrs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[suffer. suffer. suffer.]
you will know
i will suffer
so you won't
you will know
i will suffer
so you don't
[like a human sacrifice,
we pay the price]
& it begins
like this
every time
v1.
my heart starts reacting
my soul starts collapsing
i'm dancing in fire again
i'm burning & bleeding
the parasites are breeding
it's me versus me versus them
i am whore, holy, loved, lonely
murdering the others now and then
i am barren, fruitful, bored but rarely useful
a sinner seeking manic martyrdom
the devil may care but i don't
no masters, no gods, no laws, no soul
i'm insignificant, i'm shiny & unique
i'm a freak, i'm a f**k-up, i'm suffering
(tunnel)
touch. taste. feel.
prick the skin
push it in
nothing will be wasted
all my hate
all my faith
the cloak becomes sacred
prick the skin
push it in
nothing will be wasted
touch.
taste.
feel.
and you will see
and you will know
we will heal ...
everything.
v2.
my heart starts collapsing
my soul starts reacting
i'm back in the fire again
i'm burning & bleeding
the parasites are feeding
it's me versus me & all of them
i am whore, holy, loved, lonely
murdering the others i have been
i am barren, fruitful, bored but really useful
a sinner seeking manic martyrdom
(chorus)
the devil may care but i don't
no masters, no gods, no laws, no soul
i'm insignificant, i'm shiny & unique
i'm a freak, i'm a f**k-up, i'm martyring
(tunnel)
prick the skin
push it in
nothing will be wasted
all my hate
all my faith
the cloak becomes sacred
touch.
taste.
feel.
prick the skin
push it in
nothing will be wasted
(bridge)
bred for the slaughter
the march of the martyrs
bred for the slaughter
the march of the martyrs
bred for the slaughter
the march of the martyrs
bred for the slaughter ..
(exodus)
you will know
i will suffer
so you don't
i will suffer
so you won't
