SLAUGHTER THE MARTYR

4 views

Lyrics

Broken down, on my knees
 Only sound, ears that ring
 The silence is so loud
 I scream into the void
 So, hold my hand
 Walk into oblivion
 Go to the cocoon
 Transformation
 ♪
 The pain emporium
 Stripped down and bleeding
 Broken of everything but pride
 These mental scars I try to hide
 My head held in my hands
 Scars of sanctity, hatred's purity
 Loss of my equilibrium
 My soul's turning to ash
 This faithless sanitarium
 So, wave goodbye
 Save a prayer
 Don't you cry
 Don't be scared
 For I have thrived
 With no fear
 Let me die
 I'll be there
 ♪
 Slaughter the martyr
 ♪
 Slaughter the martyr
 ♪
 Dawn of the desolate
 Prayers to pestilence
 Deeper I fall in this descent to madness
 Nightfall my nemesis
 Dreams drip with violence
 Orgies of murder, vicious acts so senseless
 Piece by piece the kingdom shatters
 Reality in tatters
 The curse of chaos slowly consumes
 Bruised
 Scarred and abused
 Suffer my vengeance, paint the world in crimson hues
 Paint the world in crimson hues
 Time won't heal
 This hate I feel
 Can't close my eyes
 Nightmares that terrorize
 I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage
 The anger driving me insane
 ♪
 Slaughter the martyr
 ♪
 Brutal and barbarous
 Murder so merciless
 This blood will quench the thirst for retribution
 Heartless, this homicide
 Justice so justified
 Never last rites, there's only execution
 Limb from limb, I tear his body
 And leave the carcass rotting
 The stench of death is all that atones
 Stone
 I stand alone
 Upon the piles of my enemies' broken bones
 Of my enemies' broken bones
 Time won't heal
 This hate I feel
 Can't close my eyes
 Nightmares that terrorize
 I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage
 The anger driving me insane
 I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage
 The anger driving me insane
 Heartbreak, the cross I bare
 Endless sorrow fills the blackened air
 These pyres where love has died
 A fire smothered, emptiness inside
 Angel adorned, halo of bullet shells
 Into the darkest depths, I cast them to rot in hell
 The executioner, no judge, no trial
 Killing the killers that perpetuate this act so vile
 ♪
 I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage (homicidal rage)
 The anger driving me insane
 I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage (homicidal rage)
 The anger driving me insane (insane)
 So, wave goodbye
 Save a prayer
 Don't you cry
 Don't be scared
 For I have thrived
 With no fear
 Let me die
 I'll be there
