These martyrs seek no adoration No promises of god's salvation They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet They hung the heroes You've got to watch your back You've got to swallow fear Cover your tracks, or you might disappear They found the words to speak unspeakable things They struck the air from the chests of kings These martyrs seek no adoration No promises of god's salvation They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet They hung the heroes If you were caught between the devil and the deep blue sea Would you run and hide? Or stand for what you believe? Maybe Orwell was right all along They think this spells the end, it's only just begun These martyrs seek no adoration No promises of god's salvation They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet They hung the heroes If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun Swear that you won't forget Tell the rats to get back in the gutter We'll be watching, we're always watching You try to stamp them out You'll only fan the flames This is for all the snakes: f** you So hold your forked tongues You've got us spitting nails I'm gonna to say it straight f** you If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun Swear that you won't forget They think this spells the end, it's only just begun
