Messenger Lyrics
I'm the one you call the liar
I'm the lamb who slayed the lion
Crawled upon your cross again
Play the victim till the end
What you've gained is nothingness
What you've learned is useless
You play the Martyr
Crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
Dark are those that lie to lovers
Your fathers past, the weakest cover
Perched upon your soiled throne
Cast your sticks, I'll throw stones
Envy and Lust will drown you
Just look around you
You play the Martyr
Crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
Remembering days we felt we were chosen
Those were the days when the hunger was all that we had
Can't take back the past, can't heal the wounds
Noone can rescue your faded ideals
All that remains are scars of a wasted youth
You play the Martyr
Crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
When will you ever learn to trust another, my friend
just play the Martyr til the world stands to it's end
I'm the lamb who slayed the lion
Crawled upon your cross again
Play the victim till the end
What you've gained is nothingness
What you've learned is useless
Crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
Your fathers past, the weakest cover
Perched upon your soiled throne
Cast your sticks, I'll throw stones
Envy and Lust will drown you
Just look around you
Crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
Those were the days when the hunger was all that we had
Can't take back the past, can't heal the wounds
Noone can rescue your faded ideals
All that remains are scars of a wasted youth
Crawl upon your cross again
Always the victim but it's all inside your head
When will you ever learn to trust another, my friend
just play the Martyr til the world stands to it's end

He said in an interview that it wasn't intentionallt meant to be any anti-christian stuff.
It's about someone he knows that always plays the victim and never wants to take blame for something that is clearly being his/her fault.
^That is pretty much a head-on quote but not in it's entire.
Yes, I tend to agree with RoC, someone who is always victimizing themselves. This individual doesn't want to be hold accountable for her/his own mistakes. So he blames it on everything but him. He/She is in such denial that feels like a Martyr because all his/her ideals somehow went wrong, so in order to not admit your own failures.

Everyone fears failure, but our capacity to outgrow them is essential for our evolvement. But then again, evolvement just comes if you are able to recognize your own mistakes, hence if you choose to blame on all around...

in my PERSONAL opinion... i think it's about a person who tries to crucify their beliefs upon others, and their beliefs are probably impractical and conflicting, hence a religious view like christianity. not attacking these people, just interpreting what i'm reading and hearing.
the opening two lines: "I'm the one you call the liar I'm the lamb who slayed the lion" is obviously about the narrator or warrel being different from this "martyr."
"Crawled upon your cross again Play the victim till the end"
i believe he's reffering to christians as victims who will wait for the end upon a cross.
"Remembering days we felt we were chosen Those were the days when the hunger was all that we had Can't take back the past, can't heal the wounds Noone can rescue your faded ideals All that remains are scars of a wasted youth"
and that's where my mind entirely changes... perhaps its about an older self reflecting on their younger self, and how once they saw how the world really was the grew outside god and the religion. perhaps the "hunger was all we had" was the emptiness which wasn't fufilled with anything "useful" so they replaced it with religion.
and the line about father's past/weakest cover is probably about how they were raised religiously and they feel they are betraying their family or father by changing it.
