These martyrs seek no adoration No promises of god's salvation They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes (Oh!) 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 And 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, 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, 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: f**! You! So hold your forked tongue You've got us spitting nails! I'm gonna say it straight: f**! 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!
