Cover art for Martyr lyrics by Depeche Mode

Oh my god. It's not about fucking Jesus. Shit. They just use religious metaphors a lot. They're not blinded bible thumpers. I personally just think that the only way they can the intensity and passion in their lyrics along with the severity is to use religious metaphors. They have more impact and meaning. If they were soo religious, would they expect to "find god laughing" upon death?
