Martyr Lyrics

[00:24.17] I've been a martyr for love
[00:28.02] And I will die in the flames
[00:32.13] As I draw my last breath
[00:34.54] As I close in on death
[00:36.26] I will call out your name
[00:41.57] I've been a martyr for love
[00:45.89] Nailed up on the cross
[00:50.08] While you're having your fun
[00:51.82] As the damage is done
[00:53.92] I'm assessing the cost
[00:59.98] I knew what I was letting myself in for
[01:07.88] I knew that I could never even the score
[01:33.50] I've been a martyr for love
[01:37.50] I need to be by your side
[01:41.56] I have knelt at your feet
[01:43.43] I have felt your deceit
[01:45.56] Couldn't leave if I tried
[01:51.42] I've been a martyr for love
[01:55.45] Tortured every hour
[01:59.45] From the day I was born
[02:01.18] I've been moved like a pawn
[02:03.77] By the greatest of powers
[02:09.36] I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
[02:17.17] Aware that I would never outgrow the pain
[02:34.16] I've been a martyr for love
[02:42.62] I've been a martyr for love
[02:50.61] I've been a martyr for love
[02:58.65] I've been a martyr for love.
[03:05.94]
