Two Times Martyred - Burn The Ballroom

Laugh in your prison cell

And sing to your trial

Catching the arrows

In your chest and your smile

My darling

You don’t have long

I can feel you feel strong

But you don’t bow to kings

Or anybody

What’s it like to be two times martyred?

What’s it like to be kissed by killers?

Can you forgive me all these things that I have done?

What’s it like to be two times martyred?

What’s it like to be saved by sinners?

Can you forgive them all these things that they have done?

What they have done

You wear your deference

In wax and in signs

Measuring penitence

In your sweet and holy crimes

You don’t have long

Can’t you feel this feels wrong?

But you won’t bow to God

For anybody

What’s it like to be two times martyred?

What’s it like to be kissed by killers?

Can you forgive me all these things that I have done?

What’s it like to be two times martyred?

What’s it like to be saved by sinners?

Can you forgive them all these things that they have done?

What we have done

With these hands on our hearts on our souls

But you can’t let it go, go, go, go

No, no, no, no, no

What’s it like to be two times martyred?

What’s it like to be kissed by killers?

Can you forgive me all these things that I have done?

What’s it like to be two times martyred?

What’s it like to be saved by sinners?

Can you forgive them all these things that they have done?

What they have done
