Martyr

Fear Factory · The Best Of Fear Factory [1993]

what i thought was life

came to an end

born into a world

i never asked for this

ive got to get away (x4)



born into hardship

a world of destruction

suffer, bastard (x2)

ive got to get away (x4)



take me to heaven

adorn me with wings

suffer, bastard

ive got to get away (x4)



suffer, bastard...



(repeat 1st verse, 2nd verse)



ive got to get away (x4)
