Dead Man Talking

 

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

Swear that you won’t forget!

 

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

Swear that you won’t forget

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: FUCK YOU!

 

So hold your forked tongues

You’ve got us spitting nails

I’m gonna say it straight: FUCK YOU!

 

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

Swear that you won’t forget

 

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

They think this spells the end, it’s only just begun
