Martyr Lyrics

I heard the news anchor called me barbaric

I heard the children cry, I wonder does the world hear it

I heard you know the truth and want to stand up to apartheid, genocide

But you're too afraid to share it

I heard they killed over 30,000 innocent

And women and children make up more than 60%

Plenty more under the rubble

And I heard that number is set to double by the time this message is sent

I heard my tax money turned into bomb money

That kill a child and his sister and his mom money

I heard they took my land and my home and now my family's gone

What more do you want from me

They cut off my source of water and my source of food

Cut off my internet and my electricity too

I'm a human right, so where are my human rights

Please show the world what's happening I'm begging you

We gotta tell the truth

And if I die today and my grave is a pile full of rubble, just remember my name

And if I lose my life by tonight, know I died as a martyr, everything is alright

What I would do for a loaf of bread

To feed my sister and brother before they both are dead

They hold me tight as a plane flies overhead

In what's left of our home on a broken bed

It's been 75 years of us dying here

Colonized by a Zionist pioneer

You can open up your phone and see the blood splatter

Searching through the rubble, grown men crying tears

They haven't let me leave Gaza for my whole life

Gave me no opportunities and no rights

Cut the electric off again, we got no lights

Pitch black, house shaking, bombs dropping all night

How could anybody think it's alright

These missiles have no names

They drop them on our grade schools, do you have no shame

They wanna wipe us all out, I pray the world speaks up

I don't know how much more I can take of this pain

And if I die today and my grave is a pile full of rubble, just remember my name

And if I lose my life by tonight, know I died as a martyr, everything is alright
