Heroes & Martyrs

Bad Religion


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?
