Avenging the Martyrs Lyrics

We lit the streets with the flames on our bodies
Our blood boiled frothed and flowed
We watched our own entrails consumed by lions
The streets run red with our life
We stood and we didn't back down in the face of inevitable demise
They stripped us and beat us and broke our bodies
when they cut us down we win
We will rise on wings like eagles
And lift toward the sky
How long oh LORD until you avenge our blood?
Blanketed in sores,
Burned and blistered
Helpless before the wrath of God

Their corpses in streets
Festering far from a grave
They mark where they fell as a sign of his wrath
Those left call down rocks on their heads
They soil themselves as they cower in caves
Mad with pain they chew off their tounges
All these things will come to be
How long oh LORD until you avenge our blood?
