[Instrumental Intro] . .. ... [Intro] "Little Martyrs" [Instrumental] ... .. . [Instrumental Interlude] --- [Verse 1] When the sorrow has swallowed your tongue... And the space between the world and your thoughts Is not so wide after all... When you lose everything you love... To some stranger with idle hands Who does it just to watch it burn... Oh... it's unthinkable... [Chorus] But oh my God... There they are again... Little martyrs made just for me... You must understand... When the wolves are wearing velvet... Darling... I'm gonna have myself a field day... [Instrumental Interlude] --- [Verse 2] And when your love has lost their words... When silence is the only thing they serve... If there is a God like they whisper... Then he must be terribly weak... And it’s so irresponsible of him... [Chorus] But oh my God... There they are again... Did you carve these little martyrs just for me? Can’t you see? When the cynics are in season... Darling... I’m gonna have myself a field day... [Bridge] When you’re ready to vanish... But they tell you Hell is worse... You start thinking of someone else... For just a little while... [Instrumental Bridge] - -- --- [Verse 3] And when your best friend loses his mind... You say, "God, it should have been me..." And then you bite your tongue... Because guilt is such an easy thing... And nothing’s impossible... [Outro] But oh my God... There they are again... Little martyrs made just for me... You must understand... When the wolves are wearing velvet... Darling... I'm gonna have myself a field day* [Instrumental Ending] --- -- -
