Melancholy (Holy Martyr) Lyrics
Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I've tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place
(chorus)
I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for
Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I've said and done
Don't matter to anyone
But still, you push me to see
Something, I can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I don't mean anything
I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for
This song is about Jesus' crucifixation through his own perspective.
Matt does a really good job singing this song. You can hear and feel the sadness in his voice.
I think this is the song where Matt's voice sounds the best, he really sounds like he's really sad, and that makes it so damn awesome!!
This song is beautiful... just beautiful...
one of the best iced earth songs ever!
It kind of makes sense that Jesus would have been depressed.
I can't believe how rigged the top 100 list is, this could easy be on there in the 30s by the rating it has compared to the crap that's on the top 100 list.
when i first heard Iced Earth i thought they were all anger and screaming until i heard this song. I just keep listening to it....what else is there to say?
Brilliant piece of music...
awesome song
