Context & Lyrics
Martin Guerre leaves his family to start a new life.
View Lyrics
Still their torture, still they’d kill
To make a young man reach his prime
They say he’s cursed, he’s Satan’s child
I’m just a boy, betrayed, defiled
For a young man needs his time
Damn them all
While they run with the pack
They will pay
For the scars on my back
They want my blood
They’re ready to feed
They don’t even know
The man that they bleed
As if a man
Can love on demand
Accept his life
Is already planned
There is no demon inside
Just a man full of pride
For my hopes haven’t died
Look…
Look, I’m Martin Guerre
Too young to love
But still above
The lie they live
Yes! I’m Martin Guerre
A man who knows
How evil grows
And can’t forgive
Soon they will see
A man can choose to be free
They all look for someone to blame
But I swear it aloud, I will be proud that
Martin Guerre is my name
First I trusted Pierre
I was sold at the shrine
Then I trusted the priest
Now my blood runs like wine
And then there was Bertrande
It seems all love must turn to dust
There must be someone I can trust
Look, I’m Martin Guerre
Father I’m brave
And from your grave
You’ll keep me strong
Yes. I’m Martin Guerre
For they will learn
When I return
That I belong
Soon you will see
That I can choose to be free
They all look for someone to blame
But I swear it aloud, I will be proud I’m
Martin Guerre
They all look for someone to blame
But I swear it aloud, I will be proud that
Martin Guerre is my name
