[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Your books, your friends, your life's in mortal danger

The things are tense and knowledge is offense

In this nation vast deception reigns

Church and politics threaten your survival

[Verse 2]

A strife has grown between faith and wisdom

You choose to stand for the exalted ego

Your creation, a creation maimed

Blame the vultures and their vile way

[Refrain]

"Run devil's seed! (You will face the wrath of God)

Run devil's seed! (You will face the wrath of God)

Run devil's seed!"

[Bridge]

You will face the wrath of God

The highest price you'll pay

You will face the wrath of God

The highest price you'll pay

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Martyr

Unyielding force of thought and spirit

Martyr

Unyielding force of thought and spirit

[Post-Chorus]

Your essence remained

Your work, your life, your books

Unyielding force of thought and spirit

Shine!
