Dear Martyr
by Behold The Beloved

Album: Dear Martyr - Single

Verse 1
Every day, every night
Someone's giving up their life
Words of faith, undenied
Ready to survive or die

Why do they stay?
Why don't they run away?
Why do they pray
When they're hunted for their faith?

Pre-Chorus 1
Cursed by the culture
They circle like vultures
Waiting for your hope to die

Chorus
This one's for the Saints
Facing the fire
To every Christian praising God through razor wire
This one's for the Saints
You know who you are
The underground
The beaten down
Don't give up now
This one's for the SAINTS

Verse 2
Chained like criminals, marked as infidels
Tormentors screaming out,
Burn'em to the ground

Why do they praise
With one foot in an unmarked grave
You can drain their veins
The kingdom of heaven will not go away

Pre-Chorus 2
I'm praying love for the tyrants
Peace in the violence
God give them strength to hold on

Bridge
I hear the voice of the martyr - Saying goodbye
The countless believers - Tortured for Christ
Sticks and stones, broken bones
They may steal your breath but they can't take your soul
