Sleeping Martyr Lyrics

There's a boy they call the Sleepin' Man
He's been asleep for days
There's a girl lyin' next to him
Followin' his ways

Dreamin' of a foreign place
Where the people always pray
Nowhere else to run to now
So this is where they stay

That's all she wanted to hear
That's all she wanted to hear
Sleep another year

I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
Somethin' don't seem right in you

A broken will to testify
A thorn on either side
Empty bottle lyin' next to him
Keeps him satisfied

Voices on that dead end street
Make you feel so fine
Wake up son it's time to go
You're runnin' out of time

And that's all he wanted to hear
That's all he wanted to hear Sleep another year

I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
Somethin' don't seem right in you

He dreamed until his heart was still
Or so the story goes
Can't remember how he got that way
'Cause he forgot more than he knows

Drift into a foreign place
Seems like yesterday
Nowhere else to run to now
Alone he starts to pray

And that's all she wanted to hear
That's all she wanted to hear
Sleep another year

I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr
I will in time forget the order
Wake up the sleeping martyr

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
'Cause it's gonna' be a long night
Anytime, everytime, anytime in you
In you, in you
