I've been a martyr for love And I will die in the flames As I draw my last breath As I'm close in on deathI will call out your nameI've been a martyr for loveNailed up on the crossWhile you're having your funAs the damage is doneI'm assessing the costI knew what I was letting myself in forI knew that I could never even the scoreI've been a martyr for loveI need to be by your sideI have knelt at your feetI have felt you deceitCould have leave if I triedI've been a martyr for loveTortured every hourFrom the day I was bornI've been moved like a pawnBy the greatest of powersI knew that I would have to suffer in vainA way that I would never outgrow the painI've been a martyr for loveI've been a martyr for loveI've been a martyr for love
