The Martyr Songtext
von John Paul White

Keep falling on your sword
Sink down a little more
You said it best
Nobody′s worth less than you

It's really only fair
You get the lion′s share
You know the score
No one should hurt more than you

These are the words I'm hearing in my head
The ones that I deserve and should be said
So pile it on
My back is strong
Cause I'm the martyr


I′m riddled with holes
They never seem to close
The cross I bear
Nobody put there but me

These are the wounds that I will not let heal
The ones that I deserve and seem so real
So bring it on
I′ll soldier on
Cause I'm the martyr
The martyr

I′ve heard of those that just move on
They light up and then it's gone
Well that may be but that ain′t me
Cause I'm the martyr
The martyr

Keep falling on your sword
Sink down a little more
You said it best
Nobody′s worth less than you
