The Martyr Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Momma I fear the night is falling 

Blacker than jet and cold as ice 

And somewhere a gentle voice is calling 

And I hear the sounds of paradise 

See the innocent dying 

Has the world gone insane 

Now the death angelsflying 

And he's calling my name 

I know this will be my finest hour 

I stand face to face with the enemy 

Defying his awesome evil power 

And hold my light high for the world to see 

And nothing else matters 

Just hold fast to the right 

See the enemy scatter 

See his forces take flight 

Momma don't shed a tear for me 

Don't wring your hands and moan 

Remember it's darkest 

Just before dawn 

You know we'll meet again 

Around that shining throne 

My hands were not empty 

I was never alone 

See the innocent dying 

Has the world gone insane 

Now the death angels are flying 

And he's calling my name
