Lyrics
Speak your mind as your flesh sears
Your ideals were not eligible for the collective view
So now you will pay with your life
As we cleanse your soul with fire
You will pray for death as we pray to our god
To forgive your soul that's as black as your burnt skin
As black as your burnt skin
Charred martyr - scapegoat of pagans
Charred martyr - heathen afire
Charred martyr - heathen afire
Charred martyr - blasphemer burning
Charred martyr - blasphemer burning
Charred martyr - die for your beliefs
You chose fire, you chose damnation
And we, the ever-reaching hand of our god
Will smite you down to the pits of our hell
To the pits of our hell
Charred martyr - scapegoat of pagans
Charred martyr - heathen afire
Charred martyr - heathen afire
Charred martyr - blasphemer burning
Charred martyr - blasphemer burning
Charred martyr - die for your beliefs
Gasoline baptism to cleanse you of your demons
Gasoline baptism to cleanse you of your demons
Gasoline baptism to cleanse you of your demons
I would rather burn knowing that I was free
Than live in slavery for eternity, for eternity
And that is why flames lick my flesh from me
And that is why flames lick my flesh from me
Explosive revelation in the most literal sense
As limbs and bodies lie all around, a divine parody
Your god will reward you for your faith
Or will he spit on you as you reach the gate
Charred martyr - scapegoat of pagans
Charred martyr - heathen afire
Charred martyr - heathen afire
Charred martyr - blasphemer burning
Charred martyr - blasphemer burning
Charred martyr - die for your beliefs
I would rather burn knowing that I was free
Than live in slavery for eternity, for eternity
And that is why flames lick my flesh from me
And that is why flames lick my flesh from me
