Martyrs

from Dead Kings by American Ice Age

/

lyrics

MARTYRS - I ain’t no fucking martyr, there ain’t no holes in these hands. Betrayed by brothers, abandoned by friends, alone I stand. I ain’t no god damned savior, there ain’t no pity in this heart. I was born with the eyes of a shark, devoid of remorse, deadly and dark. If the godless go to hell I’d like to know. I’d like to have an inkling of the places that I’ll go. If the hollow holy rollers end up being saved, I’ll be digging ditches with the choices that I’ve made. But like they say, “You got to catch me if you want me to hang.” I ain’t no fucking prophet, and I’m not asking for your faith. I’ve seen this world in action, and there ain’t no one safe. I ain’t no god damned poet, and I don’t ask for sympathy. Among the things most over rated: catharsis and sincerity. If the godless go to hell I’d like to know. I’d like to have an inkling of the places that I’ll go. If the hollow holy rollers end up being saved, I’ll be digging ditches with the choices that I’ve made. But like they say, “You got to catch me if you want me to hang.”
