| Lyrics: | Shed no tears for the martyr dying
Only in pain suffering and death
Can the martyr become
what he's chosen to be
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the cop bleeding
He once held the gun. He once held the key
Now his prisoners will sing and dance and play
No tears wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the nun beaten
By the children she once
called her flock
How they hate their teachers. Who force darkness upon us
No tears
wasted
No sorrow no pity
No, no crying, no loss
Shed no tears for the suicide
He has made his choice, the pain of life is great
And some will find it sweet to rot
beneath the earth
As we rot and live and breathe
No tears wasted
No sorrow no
pity
No, no crying, no loss |
