"10 Cent Martyr" lyrics
If only you could stay
We could beat the sunrise disarray and
Fall asleep in the shade
Is it better to burn or fade away? And...
You were my only constant
Look at everything it taught us
Hope is as thin as pain
I know that you can't stay
You found me broken, lost inside a city
You took me in; no one could stand the sight of me
No castle walls the whole world was ours
Now I'm left singing to a lonesome choir
I never knew you
To run from the night
You never needed
Silk instead of sky
You were my only constant
Look at everything it taught us
Hope is as thin as pain
I know you couldn't stay
And now we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know you couldn't stay
Under the bleeding star
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know we're worlds apart
I made a sketch of your life, swore to follow suit
Kept my head on a swivel and my neck out of a noose
Fate has set his lonely path
Through corridors of luck and chance
Stripped for parts
With a heart of gold
Is there nothing right
Here in this mortal world?
You were my only constant
Look at everything it taught us
Hope is as thin as pain
I know you couldn't stay
And now we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know you couldn't stay
Under the bleeding star
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know we're worlds apart
Will I bend the knee when the world gets darker?
Am I more than a 10-cent martyr?
You left me with your sword, your heart, your shield, your scars
If you're coming for me now
Then you better bring an army
Heed the call
Rise and fall
Do it for the fight, don't do it for the glory
I know you couldn't stay
And now we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know you couldn't stay
Under the bleeding star
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword, your heart, your shield, your scars
Will I bend the knee when the world gets darker?
Heed the call
Rise and fall
Am I more than a 10-cent martyr?
We could beat the sunrise disarray and
Fall asleep in the shade
Is it better to burn or fade away? And...
You were my only constant
Look at everything it taught us
Hope is as thin as pain
I know that you can't stay
You found me broken, lost inside a city
You took me in; no one could stand the sight of me
No castle walls the whole world was ours
Now I'm left singing to a lonesome choir
I never knew you
To run from the night
You never needed
Silk instead of sky
You were my only constant
Look at everything it taught us
Hope is as thin as pain
I know you couldn't stay
And now we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know you couldn't stay
Under the bleeding star
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know we're worlds apart
I made a sketch of your life, swore to follow suit
Kept my head on a swivel and my neck out of a noose
Fate has set his lonely path
Through corridors of luck and chance
Stripped for parts
With a heart of gold
Is there nothing right
Here in this mortal world?
You were my only constant
Look at everything it taught us
Hope is as thin as pain
I know you couldn't stay
And now we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know you couldn't stay
Under the bleeding star
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know we're worlds apart
Will I bend the knee when the world gets darker?
Am I more than a 10-cent martyr?
You left me with your sword, your heart, your shield, your scars
If you're coming for me now
Then you better bring an army
Heed the call
Rise and fall
Do it for the fight, don't do it for the glory
I know you couldn't stay
And now we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know you couldn't stay
Under the bleeding star
You left me with your sword and with your heart
I know we're worlds apart
You left me with your sword, your heart, your shield, your scars
Will I bend the knee when the world gets darker?
Heed the call
Rise and fall
Am I more than a 10-cent martyr?
