The Colony - Bless the Martyr

Let's go, to the new world Fame and fortune is waiting for England Here it is! The Roanoke island History will remember our names The world is too small for us With our flag we need a new start May our faith chase the heavens of these lands By force take the gold of the native ones But this time, we won't let you stay We will spare none of you for we're betrayed And the legend of this cursed land began Leaving a word, but not the name of someone It all started with a challenge Could the colony find its place? With the men of sir Raleigh Will the queen take this new edge? So we dreamt about the summer And the new face of heaven But the nightmares of the storms Were all hidden by thoughts of gold Set sail, to the new world Fame and fortune is waiting for England Here it is! The Roanoke island History will remember our names The violence brought violence Retreat and retry John White his daughter, one hundred and seventeen men Had the last chance to conquer this land again And after his granddaughter born in this Paradise of death and gold He waved at them saying: "I'll come back in a while", But it was the last goodbye Because then After three long years He came back to find them But once arrived, no one there No sign of fights at all No one to save and no tombstones And the story of this cursed man ends Carving a word without Malta's cross Since then Looking at the horizon of the history line John White still cries Goodbye my child Goodnight granddaughter Everyday day I feel so far Promise of glory Into a dark tale C R O A T O A N History will remember this name Since then Looking at the horizon of the history line John White still cries Goodbye my child Goodnight granddaughter Everyday day I feel so far Promise of glory Into a dark tale C R O A T O A N History will remember this name ...a warning to posterity

Consistency is a thing of the past It's over, it's over I'm holding on to whatever will last I'm over, I'm overwhelmed with guilt I'll fight 'til I am on the otherside, of this realm Delusions come and go, through my mind Daydreams like I can't sleep Everything seems like a distant dream Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy? I don't know Open up the skies and swallow me Open up my eyes and make me see, make me see I'll fight 'til I am on the otherside, of this realm Delusions come and go, through my mind Daydreams like I can't sleep Everything seems like a distant dream Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy? I don't know Everything is funny Then suddenly it's sad Sometimes I am happy Sometimes I'm quite mad, sometimes I'm quite mad I'll fight 'til I am on the otherside, of this realm Delusions come and go, through my mind Daydreams like I can't sleep Everything seems like a distant dream Am I going crazy? Am I going crazy? I don't know

I see you in bed again So worthy of being hated You're dreaming all this time You've torn out my heart again So easy to be misleaded For thinking this was right We've done this many times No more, fuck off, take it, there is no god We would've engaged by now There is no god, only me In serving out your life you will see light You see the martyr and it's harder So you fallout into grace No room for the tears again You suffer, you've been mistreated In my eyes you're a creature You're tasting the limes again Misery will follow Too late for feeling sorry In serving out your life you will see light You see the martyr and it's harder So you fallout into grace I've got one simple question How many times will this cloud fall? Until there's no reason Follow me out You try to swallow In serving out your life you will see light You see the martyr and it's harder So you fallout into grace It's your Christ again Is your Christ a friend? Follow no more There is no reasoning behind this All the suffering keeps me stumbling There is no reason behind this For all this pain that's still around Pain that's still around There is no god, only me
