lyrics
Make Me A Martyr
Stretching out for miles,
Such emptiness in once devine spaces,
Ponder for a while,
Forgotten names on familiar faces,
Stand and watch them change, You’re close but out of range,
We’re both victims of cruel circumstance
We were born of a similar fate, Lost in time but life won’t wait,
A goal that’s set too far, make me a martyr
Stand and face the sun,
God knows you’re not the only one
Can’t we be like anyone,
The end is a quest begun
So what’s left to be done, drawing this bleak conclusion,
I lost out due to your enchant,
We were born of a similar fate, lost in time but life won’t wait,
A goal that’s set too far , make me a martyr,
Beyond the horizon’s shadow,
a timid past but who would know ,
Echos of dusk still glow
An empty soul withers and bows
So what’s left to be done, drawing this bleak conclusion,
I lost out so you could enhance,
We were born of a similar fate, lost in time but life won’t wait,
A goal that’s set too far , make me a martyr,
