ICED EARTH - Melancholy Holy Martyr (ALBUM TRACK)

[musiclife]

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I've tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I've said and done
Don't matter to anyone
But still, you push me to see
Something, I can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I don't mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

[Paulnewmankun]

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I've tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I've said and done
Don't matter to anyone
But still, you push me to see
Something, I can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I don't mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes (make the sadness go away)
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

Absolute perfection. This band feels like they’re my little secret. I feel for the poor souls who’ve never heard them

[heavyaccept]

This song has become a classic track of the Heavy Metal history. Amen.

[DarklessX]

This is definitely how you create a "Ballad". Beautiful song from an incredibly awesome band. \m/

[kaziklubey]

I often listened to this "Power Ballad" as well as "the heart collector" from Nevermore and "Jotunheim" from Therion when my daughter was born in 2003 ! Memories :)

[ManOnTheEdge]

One of the Greatest Song in the Music History

I miss Barlow with Iced Earth. His voice was so perfect for the lyrics and instrumentals

[spencerthu]

Hell yeah let's make America metal again!!! Please! Hip hop and Rap has ruled for way to long!!! That shit started in the early 90s and is still going! That's 30 years! Enough is enough! Make America not ghetto again!!!

Wir sterben, für das, an das wir glauben.
Das ist keine Wertung, das ist nicht gut, nicht schlecht.

[mvsfan]

how many times have i said that its often the second guy, not the original who ends up saving a band. Just look good at Iron Maiden. Barlow did that. and he is back again from all i know. Thank god for Matt Barlow.

[fabionegrao]

Muito doido, 100 anos e pouco tempo pra capitar a grandiosidade de um som como metal

[mgagliardi]

Incredible. Another awesome band I just decided deserved a listen. Thing album is

[ruhun_gemisi]

..dedim ya yorgunum ve yaşlı, ruhumdaki sen ne kadar gençleşirsen bedenimdeki ben o kadar ölüyorum, ve ölüyorum ve yine ölüyorum.. gece yine kalbimdeki aynadan yansıyan sen olurken perde yine senin için kapanıyor, ve sahnede hala bir özlem gözyaşı dökerken bekleyen hüzünlü palyaço kalıyor..

[Gabychan]

In my opinion this song would be great in a Spawn AMV idk why, but this reminds me of how much pain Spawn goes through to get through his wife.

[Martialartsreflections]

Such an under rated album. Inspired a couple of my songs even.

[MirrortoyourNeurosis]

'Why must I be,
the Shattered King'

Absolute beauty of a constructed seed.

[AndrewUrosevic-sonofGod]

Can’t help but think of Jesus Christ while listening to this
