Martyr Construction Lyrics


Prayers for a broken woman

Suffering is part of the plan

Shaved to the fucking bone

Femur defleshed and disposed

Skin pulled, stapled and closed

Organs taken out, thrown away

Hacking away, all fucking day

Face replaced with holy cloth

Tattered torso covered in gauze

A beautiful and fine display

Remember who paved the way

All that bleeding and suffering

All this effort is quite puzzling

The construction of a martyr

Rusty nails and blades stab her

You’ll never be me

What’s done is done

They don’t crawl they run
