Bad Religion – Heroes And Martyrs

Amid the heat and the wrack

Hot boots invested and cracked

Poor candidates jacked into gray light

An ultraviolent call summoning both poet and thrall

Sweet catalyst for the acolytes

Our Heroes and Martyrs

present two points of view

Which deity you?re praying to?

(What?s the sense of heroes & martyrs?)

Into a welter of night

Flack, rounds and roiling blight

Cracked vertebrates stacked by the wayside

An ultraviolent call summoning both poet and thrall

The inveterate blind seeking daylight

Our Heroes and Martyrs

present two points of view

Which deity you?re praying to

(What?s the sense of heroes & martyrs?)
