They cracked you like a paper plate Raked you through the autumn leave it well alone Pick you up to pull you down Now I've got something to fall back on It takes a man to pierce himself Grit your teeth you whipping post This is just the long way home When I bleed for you it's only cause I'm happy to Mary where's your sinking ship A modern vessel filled with modern sails and coals On the run in chronic town Put that blood blood martyr It takes a man to press himself It takes a man to test himself They will follow you around I swear They'll never let you dissappear You last so long We are the witches a tyrants We are looking for signs of life and wallets We are taking your money We are leaving your carcass We're the Blood Blood Martyr
