"Martyr" lyrics - SEPTICFLESH

Your books, your friends, your life's in mortal danger
The things are tense and knowledge is offense
In this nation vast deception reigns
Church and politics threaten your survival

A strife has grown between faith and wisdom
You choose to stand for the exalted ego
Your creation, a creation maimed
Blame the vultures and their vile way

[Refrain:]
"Run devil's seed! (You will face the wrath of God)
Run devil's seed! (You will face the wrath of God)
Run devil's seed!"

[Bridge:]
You will face the wrath of God
The highest price you'll pay
You will face the wrath of God
The highest price you'll pay

[Chorus:]
Martyr
Unyielding force of thought and spirit
Martyr
Unyielding force of thought and spirit

[Post-Chorus:]
Your essence remained
Your work, your life, your books
Unyielding force of thought and spirit
Shine!
