Lyrics

The Martyr

Why, why was I born

To know what I must know

I can see the sky

But I can't see the ground below

Where do I go?

Falling in a trap where traitors wait

Lost love is the bait

But the martyr never knows

He is caught in a dream of his own

When it's over where does he go

Who really knows

Who really knows

Time stands between me and my home

So long ago

I can't stand to wait

But I can't force my body to go

Where do I go?

Crying, he is blind to everyone

And that's how its done

And the martyr never knows

He is caught in a dream of his own

When it's over where does he go

Who really knows

Who really knows

I know in my heart

I could change the world with just this guitar

Who really knows

Falling in a trap where traitors wait

Lost love is the bait

But the martyr never knows

He is caught in a dream of his own

When it's over where does he go

Who really knows

Who really knows
