The Martyrs Lyrics by Emma Gustafson

2016

Have all the martyrs all gone
To the place where he lays?
Well, I’ve been there with my family
And the stars were shining bright
For no man had ever seen
Such a young boy, so brave
Being hurt for having said the truth
He’s a hero of our kind
He was no night or warrior strong
Just a simple kid, so young
Well, you, who took his life away
Shall never rest in peace
Because they are alive and never-ending, oh Lord
And in our hearts they survive
And their legacy goes on
And the stars all shine on the martyrs’ graves
They are alive and never-ending, oh Lord
We warn you, shallow kings of the dusk
Who full of hatred command
And presume to lead this earth with gold
Self-power and ambition
For there will come a day when you all
Shall rot into dust
And your throne of self-indulgence
Will sink into the mud
Yes, there will come a day when you will see
That your money ain’t food
And the crimes you have dared to do
Will fall right back on you
Because they are alive and never-ending, oh Lord
And in our hearts they survive
And their legacy goes on
And the stars all shine on the martyrs’ graves
They are alive and never-ending, oh Lord
So have all the martyrs all gone
To the place where he lays?
Well, I’ve been there with my family
And the stars were shining bright
I know there is an end to everything
Once the circle is complete:
If you hurt someone with your hands
You’ll be sure it will return
Traduzione:
I martiri sono tutti andati
Al posto in cui lui riposa?
Ci sono stata con la mia famiglia
E le stelle brillavano luminose
Perché nessun uomo aveva mai visto
Un ragazzo così giovane e così coraggioso
Essere ferito per aver detto la verità
È un eroe dell’umanità
Non era un cavaliere o un forte guerriero
Soltanto un semplice bambino, così giovane
Be’, voi che gli avete tolto la vita
Non riposerete mai in pace
Perché loro sono vivi ed infiniti, o Signore
E nei nostri cuori sopravvivono
E la loro eredità vive ancora
E le stelle brillano tutte sulla tomba dei martiri
Sono vivi ed infiniti, o Signore
Vi avvertiamo, o Re superficiali del crepuscolo
Che pieni di odio comandate
E che avete la presunzione di guidare questo mondo
Con oro, potere personale ed ambizione
Perché arriverà un giorno in cui diverrete tutti polvere
E il vostro trono d’intemperanza
Affonderà nel fango
Si, verrà un giorno in cui vedrete
Che i vostri soldi non sono cibo
E i crimini che avete osato commettere
Vi si ritorceranno contro
Perché loro sono vivi ed infiniti, o Signore
E nei nostri cuori sopravvivono
E la loro eredità vive ancora
E le stelle brillano tutte sulla tomba dei martiri
Sono vivi ed infiniti, o Signore
Quindi, i martiri sono tutti andati
Al posto in cui lui riposa?
Ci sono stata con la mia famiglia
E le stelle brillavano luminose
So che c’è una fine a tutto quanto
Una volta che il cerchio è completo:
Se fai del male a qualcuno con le tue mani
Puoi stare certo che ti si ritorcerà contro
Perché loro sono vivi ed infiniti, o Signore
E nei nostri cuori sopravvivono
E la loro eredità vive ancora
E le stelle brillano tutte sulla tomba dei martiri
Sono vivi ed infiniti, o Signore
