From the recording Banjo

Lyrics

I've been a martyr for love And I will die in the flames As I draw my last breath As I'm close in on death I will call out your name
I've been a martyr for love Nailed up on the cross While you're having your fun As the damage is done I'm assessing the cost
I knew what I was letting myself in for I knew that I could never even the score
I've been a martyr for love I need to be by your side I have knelt at your feet I have felt you deceit Could have leave if I tried
I've been a martyr for love Tortured every hour From the day I was born I've been moved like a pawn By the greatest of powers
I knew that I would have to suffer in vain Aware that I would never outgrow the pain
