Like A Pale Martyr Lyrics
You never knew your mother
It’s so sad but it’s true
You were born to suffer
Like many others too
Struggling to make it through
Just like a pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
Like a pale martyr
Burning with desire
See the cities burning
The water’s rising too
This hell on earth’s turning
The sun black above you
Down here there’s nothing new
But for this pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
For this pale martyr’s
Burning with desire
You’re no stranger to sorrow
When love and truth have died
Don’t look to tomorrow
It’s a jungle full of lies
Waiting with shallow eyes
Just for a pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
For a pale martyr
Burning with desire
So many rooms without books
Like bodies without souls
So many vacant blank looks
Like eyes in deep black holes
It is for you that the bell toils
Fire’s burning since day one
Is brighter than the sun
Fanned with knives and smoking guns
The war is never done
There’s only one place left to run
Just like a pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
Like a pale martyr
Burning with desire
Rotten apples have to fall
They crash down in disgrace
Youth thrown against the wall
But all can be replaced
An arm, a leg, a face
But for a pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
But a pale martyr
Burning with desire
‘Yes I’m as guilty as you’
Said He from on the cross
‘For the good I didn’t do’
Without profit there’s no loss
Every price has its cost
So like a pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
So a pale martyr
Burning with desire
Envy’s the ulcer of the soul
Hate a cancer to the brain
Without love you are not whole
Love makes a wild animal tame
It is for this I came
Just like a pale martyr
In his shirt of fire
Just like a pale martyr
Burning with desire
