Machine Head

Slaughter The Martyr
Broken down, on my knees Only sound, ears that ring The silence is so loud I scream into the void So hold my hand, walk into oblivion Go to the cocoon, transformation The pain emporium Stripped down and bleeding Broken of everything but pride These mental scars I try to hide My head held in my hands Scars of sanctity, hatred's purity Loss of my equilibrium My soul is turning to ash This faithless sanitarium So wave goodbye Save a prayer Don't you cry Don't be scared For I have thrived With no fear Let me die I'll be there Songtexte Slaughter the martyr Slaughter the martyr Dawn of the desolate Prayers to pestilence Deeper I fall in this descent to madness Nightfall my nemesis Dreams drip with violence Orgies of murder, vicious acts so senseless Piece by piece the kingdom shatters Reality in tatters The curse of chaos slowly consumes Bruised Scarred and abused Suffer my vengeance, paint the world in crimson hues Paint the world in crimson hues Time won't heal This hate I feel Can't close my eyes Nightmares that terrorize I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage The anger driving me insane Slaughter the martyr Brutal and barbarous Murder so merciless This blood will quench the thirst for retribution Heartless, this homicide Justice so justified Never last rites, there's only execution Limb from limb, I tear his body And leave the carcass rotting The stench of death is all that atones Stone I stand alone Upon the piles of my enemies' broken bones Of my enemies' broken bones Time won't heal This hate I feel Can't close my eyes Nightmares that terrorize I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage The anger driving me insane I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage The anger driving me insane Heartbreak, the cross I bare Endless sorrow fills the blackened air These pyres where love has died A fire smothered, emptiness inside Angel adorned, halo of bullet shells Into the darkest depths, I cast them to rot in hell The executioner, no judge, no trial Killing the killers that perpetuate this act so vile I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage (Homicidal rage) The anger driving me insane I lay paralyzed in homicidal rage (Homicidal rage) The anger driving me insane, -sane So wave goodbye Save a prayer Don't you cry Don't be scared For I have thrived With no fear Let me die I'll be there Aus Songtexte Mania
