Sleeping Martyr - Corrosion of Conformity

There’s a boy they call the sleepin' man, he’s been asleep for days

There’s a girl lyin' next to him, following his ways

Dreaming of a foreign place, where the people always pray

Nowhere else to run to… now

So this is where they stay

That’s all she wanted to hear

That’s all she wanted to hear

Sleep another year…

I will in time forget the order, wake up the sleepin' martyr

Somethin' don’t seem right… In you

A broken will to testify, a thorn on either side

Empty bottles lyin' next to him, keeps him satisfied

Voices on that dead end street, make you feel so fine

Wake up son it’s time to go, you’re runnin' out of time…

And that’s all he wanted to hear

That’s all he wanted to hear

Sleep another year…

I will in time forget the order, wake up the sleepin' martyr

Somethin' don’t seem right.

In you

He dreamed until his heart was still or so the story goes.

Can’t remember how he got that way cause he’s forgot more than he knows…

Drift into a foreign place, seems like yesterday.

Nowhere else to run to… now, alone he starts to pray

And that’s all she wanted to hear

That’s all she wanted to hear

Sleep another year…

I will in time forget the order, wake up the sleepin' martyr

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight

Cause it’s gonna' be a long night, anytime, everytime…

Anytime In you…
