Corrosion of Conformity

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...
