Lyrics Corrosion of Conformity

Corrosion of Conformity

Sleeping Martyr

There's a boy they call the Sleepin' Man

He's been asleep for days

There's a girl lyin' next to him

Followin' his ways

Dreamin' of a foreign place

Where the people always pray

Nowhere else to run to now

So this is where they stay

That's all she wanted to hear

That's all she wanted to hear

Sleep another year

I will in time forget the order

Wake up the sleeping martyr

I will in time forget the order

Wake up the sleeping martyr

Somethin' don't seem right in you

A broken will to testify

A thorn on either side

Empty bottle lyin' next to him

Keeps him satisfied

Voices on that dead end street

Make you feel so fine

Wake up son it's time to go

You're runnin' out of time

And that's all he wanted to hear

That's all he wanted to hear

Sleep another year

I will in time forget the order

Wake up the sleeping martyr

I will in time forget the order

Wake up the sleeping martyr

Somethin' don't seem right in you

He dreamed until his heart was still

Or so the story goes

Can't remember how he got that way

'Cause he forgot more than he knows

Drift into a foreign place

Seems like yesterday

Nowhere else to run to now

Alone he starts to pray

And that's all she wanted to hear

That's all she wanted to hear

Sleep another year

I will in time forget the order

Wake up the sleeping martyr

I will in time forget the order

Wake up the sleeping martyr

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight

'Cause it's gonna' be a long night

Anytime, everytime, anytime in you

In you, in you
