Sleeping Martyr by Corrosion Of Conformity
Sleeping Martyr lyrics
There's a boy they call the Sleepin' Man
He's been asleep for days
There's a girl lyin' next to him
Followin' his ways
Dreamin' of a foreign place
Where the people always pray
Nowhere else to run to now
So this is where they stay
That's all she wanted to hear
That's all she wanted to hear
Sleep another year
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
Somethin' don't seem right in you
A broken will to testify
A thorn on either side
Empty bottle lyin' next to him
Keeps him satisfied
Voices on that dead end street
Make you feel so fine
Wake up son it's time to go
You're runnin' out of time
And that's all he wanted to hear
That's all he wanted to hear
Sleep another year
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
Somethin' don't seem right in you
He dreamed until his heart was still
Or so the story goes
Can't remember how he got that way
'Cause he forgot more than he knows
Drift into a foreign place
Seems like yesterday
Nowhere else to run to now
Alone he starts to pray
And that's all she wanted to hear
That's all she wanted to hear
Sleep another year
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
'Cause it's gonna' be a long night
Anytime, everytime, anytime in you
In you, in you
