Charlie Daniels Band - The Martyr lyrics

Momma I fear the night is falling Blacker than jet and cold as ice And somewhere a gentle voice is calling And I hear the sounds of paradise See the innocent dying Has the world gone insane Now the d**h angelsflying And he's calling my name I know this will be my finest hour I stand face to face with the enemy Defying his awesome evil power And hold my light high for the world to see And nothing else matters Just hold fast to the right See the enemy scatter See his forces take flight Momma don't shed a tear for me Don't wring your hands and moan Remember it's darkest Just before dawn You know we'll meet again Around that shining throne My hands were not empty I was never alone See the innocent dying Has the world gone insane Now the d**h angels are flying And he's calling my name
