Wearing A Martyr's Crown - Nightrage

The crown of emptiness

As night descended slowly

Maybe it’s an illusion

One fake dream, one grey plastic

Reality of tears and of repentance

I felt my life crossing like

A stream of sadness

Wearing a martyr’s crown

The crown of sadness

The crown of emptiness

Mortified by his rudeness

Souls sunk in despair

Futile actions the enemy of life

Like an ego

That’s trying to rip your heart out

I felt the fear for what I saw;

Trying to save something

This incredible heap of mistakes

Stigmatized my soul

Wearing a martyr’s crown

The crown of sadness

The crown of emptiness

Mortified by his rudeness

Wearing a martyr’s crown

The crown of sadness

The crown of emptiness

Mortified by his rudeness

I felt the waves of sadness

Breaking my heart

I felt the fear of what I saw

I held my head up high

Wearing a martyr’s crown

Wearing a martyr’s crown

This crown

I felt the waves of sadness

Breaking my heart

I held my head up high

Wearing a martyr’s crown

Wearing a martyr’s crown

The crown of sadness

The crown of emptiness

Mortified by his rudeness

I felt the plainness and all the errors

Of this tragic truth

Wearing a martyr’s crown

Crown
