My Beautiful Martyr

The web site lyrics section doesn't have allthe lyrics to this one.

In the middle bit it has a line that has an "echo" but it is different.

What is the echo bit. I need the lyrics for a project I"m working on.

There is a thread about this back in September when i first came around, but i don't think we ever answered the question?

Echo?

(Stole this from the DA chords page)

I believe your tears are stored away
And like a gentle rain they will fall some day
On a dusty heart, on some arid soul
All the tears you've cried will make them whole

My beautiful martyr (in your crown of thorns)
My beautiful martyr (in your robe of fire)
My beautiful martyr (in your gown of scorn)
So beautiful
My beautiful martyr

I believe your blood (like a river flow)
Runs wide and deep (towards an unknown sea)
And it stains the sky (it will change the course)
And floods the broken street (of our history)
That your prayers are saved (in the nail scarred hands)
That your cry is heard (in the restless wind)
And that the world will hang (like the criminal nailed)
On every word (to the broken sky)

My beautiful martyr (in your crown of thorns)
My beautiful martyr (in your robe of fire)
My beautiful martyr (in your gown of scorn)
So beautiful
My beautiful martyr

I believe we'll meet where there are no farewells
Between the spikes that pierced and the sword that fell

My beautiful martyr (in your crown of thorns)
My beautiful martyr (in your robe of fire)
My beautiful martyr (in your gown of scorn)
So beautiful
My beautiful martyr (in your crown of thorns)
My beautiful martyr (in your robe of fire)
My beautiful martyr (in your gown of scorn)
So beautiful
My beautiful martyr

Thankyou.

Have you noticed that each part (main and "echo") cab be read as seperate and also together?

On the DADL this was knowen as "duelling poems"
