[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
And I will die in the flames (And I will die in the flames)
As I draw my last breath, as I'm closing on death
I will call out your name
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
Nailed up on the cross (Nailed up on the cross)
While you're having your fun, as the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
I need to be by your side (I need to be by your side)
I have knelt at your feet, I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried
[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
Tortured every hour (Tortured every hour)
From the day I was born, I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score
[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
And I will die in the flames (And I will die in the flames)
As I draw my last breath, as I'm closing on death
I will call out your name
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
Nailed up on the cross (Nailed up on the cross)
While you're having your fun, as the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
I need to be by your side (I need to be by your side)
I have knelt at your feet, I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried
[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love (I've been a martyr for love)
Tortured every hour (Tortured every hour)
From the day I was born, I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score
[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
I've been a martyr for love
I've been a martyr for love
