[Chorus]

These martyrs seek no adoration

No promises of God's salvation

They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet

They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes

[Verse 1]

You've got to watch your back, you've got to swallow fear

Cover your tracks, or you might disappear

They found the words to speak unspeakable things

And they struck the air from the chests of kings

[Chorus]

These martyrs seek no adoration

No promises of God's salvation

They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet

They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes

[Verse 2]

If you were caught between the Devil and the deep blue sea

Would you run and hide or stand for what you believe?

Maybe Orwell was right all along

They think this spells the end, it's only just begun

[Chorus]

These martyrs seek no adoration

No promises of God's salvation

They kicked the ladder from beneath their feet

They hung the heroes, they hung the heroes

[Bridge]

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

Swear that you won't forget, swear that you won't forget

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

Swear that you won't forget, swear that you won't forget

[Verse 3]

Tell the rats to get back in the gutter

We'll be watching, we're always watching

You try to stamp them out, you'll only fan the flames

This is for all the snakes: fuck you

So hold your forked tongue, you've got us spitting nails

I'm gonna say it straight: fuck you

[Outro]

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

Swear that you won't forget

If you find your feet, you can eclipse the sun

They think this spells the end, it's only just begun
