|
Late one night when I'm lying in my bed, I hear his words, they echo in my head. |
|
Who we are, what we should do, what we'll receive, when the work is through. |
|
I've been touched by the hand of fate. |
|
The winds of change fuel the flames of hate. |
|
Sometimes I wonder why we're the only ones, who see the real solution and know what must be done. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
I'm a martyr and I'll die for the cause |
|
I live by our own set of laws |
|
You say you're blessed, he's smiling down on you. You'll always win, no matter what we do. |
|
You're so naive, you've never seen a war, |
|
Devastate your county, desecrate your shore. |
|
Cities burned down, bodies lying in the street. |
|
Children dying, no food left to eat. |
|
Soon you will know, a little of our pain, we've nothing to lose and everything to gain. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
I'm a martyr and I'll die for the cause |
|
I live by our own set of laws |
|
The groundwork has been laid |
|
The final hand is played |
|
You say that we're not right, you say it's an unholy fight. |
|
Well I say theres no right or wrong. |
|
There's only you the weak ---- And us the strong |
|
Somewhere In Middle America: |
|
The mall is crowded, people everywhere. |
|
Tending to their business, of me they're unaware. |
|
Just an old man sitting down for a rest. |
|
With 40 sticks of dynamite strapped to his chest. |
|
I hear his voice again calling out to me -- |
|
"When it is over is when you'll be free!" |
|
So with a smile and a prayer to my lord, I push this button and go to my reward. |
