Diver - Martyrdom Lyrics

Deny, deny, deny!
And accuse them of the same
Hold the world back
Beat the horse already lame
If it stares you in the face, just close your eyes
Shout as loud as you can, and call the truth lies

You're so sure you're a saint
So damn sure you've seen the light
Nail yourself to your cross
Martyrdom is so polite

God forbid you'd be wrong
God forbid it's all there is
God forbid you'd be wrong
God forbid it's all there is

God forbid God is in your head
God forbid God is in your head
Existential hysteria
Pride comes before the fall

Well don't you expect me to bow at your feet
You have no mercy, abandon to meek
I wont be a part of the world that you seek

I won't be chained and bound
You fear that which you cannot see
Excommunicate me and find
That I stand free

Pray, pray, pray!
Go ahead and pray, go ahead and pray
Hold the world back
And keep screaming into the night

You lash out like a cornered rat
You realize you may be the last

You're just so persecuted, nailed to your cross
Come on down, we're not buying it
You're just so persecuted, nailed to your cross
Come on down, we're not buying it

God forbid you be wrong
God forbid it's all there is
God forbid you be wrong
Cuz it's all there is

God forbid God is in your head
God forbid God is in your head
Existential hysteria
Pride comes before the fall
