Intruder - The Martyr lyrics

rate me

Late one night when I'm lying in my bed, I hear his words, they echo in my head.<br />

Who we are, what we should do, what we'll receive, when the work is through.<br />

I've been touched by the hand of fate.<br />

The winds of change fuel the flames of hate.<br />

Sometimes I wonder why we're the only ones, who see the real solution and know what must be done.<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

I'm a martyr and I'll die for the cause<br />

I live by our own set of laws<br />

<br />

You say you're blessed, he's smiling down on you. You'll always win, no matter what we do.<br />

You're so naive, you've never seen a war, <br />

Devastate your county, desecrate your shore.<br />

Cities burned down, bodies lying in the street.<br />

Children dying, no food left to eat.<br />

Soon you will know, a little of our pain, we've nothing to lose and everything to gain.<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

I'm a martyr and I'll die for the cause<br />

I live by our own set of laws<br />

The groundwork has been laid<br />

The final hand is played<br />

<br />

You say that we're not right, you say it's an unholy fight.<br />

Well I say there's no right or wrong.<br />

There's only you the weak - And us the strong<br />

<br />

Somewhere In Middle America:<br />

The mall is crowded, people everywhere.<br />

Tending to their business, of me they're unaware.<br />

Just an old man sitting down for a rest.<br />

With 40 sticks of dynamite strapped to his chest.<br />

I hear his voice again calling out to me <br />

"When it is over is when you'll be free!"<br />

So with a smile and a prayer to my lord, I push this button and go to my reward.
