Martyr

Although the past is dead and gone
You use your power
To make it linger on
I can't talk about you now
Because your armies
Would put me underground
I'll never live inside your shadow
There are just some things that
They don't know
And if ever comes to pass
We both know
You'd never make it last

Through the years I've watched you grow
Escalating to parts unknown
You can try to change the past
I've got your number
Your destiny's been cast
History will pass you by
You'll be alone
And forced to question why
And though my victory's been won
Your journey's ending
While mine has just begun

We can't abide by lies you make
They'll go no farther
You can't destroy me with hate
I'm just a martyr

And if you try to hunt me down
You will find me gone
And when you fall without a sound
I'll know I've won
