Dead Martyrs Lyrics

Dead Martyrs,
All Stigmartyrs,
Dead Heroes,
For Fear of Zero.

Dead Martyrs,
Always take it further,
Dead Heroes,
Know no fear.

Living for some happiness,
And nothing that satisfies,
Had a beginning but it got no end.

Got No Future - Just Dead Stars For dead Eyes,
Got No Future - Just Dead Stars For dead Eyes.

Dead Stars Are always the blackest,
Dead heroes the living empty,
Dead Martyrs hang on forever,
Dead Martyrs Always Take it further.

Living for some happiness,
And nothing that satisfies,
Had a beginning but it got no end.

Got No Future - Just Dead Stars For dead Eyes,
Got No Future - Just Dead Stars For dead Eyes.
Got No Future - Just Dead Stars For dead Eyes,

Cover art for Dead Martyrs lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

I can't believe there are no comments yet.

This song is very intense. Clearly, about the idea of dying for a cause, but I think it's also about the desperation that leads to wanting to sacrifice one's self. Being desperate for a purpose, willing to throw yourself into a cause... The idea of having no future, I think, is what leads to this desire to be a sacrifice. If you can't find a cause to live for, die for one to find meaning. very Richey-esque ideas.

Also, the idea that martyrs are 'played' up- they're always the blackest, 'always take it further'. They are seen as very extreme. and once dead their image is manipulated and played up.
