Iced Earth - Melancholy (Holy Martyr) Lyrics
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
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
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

Makes me think about what Hades would feel like welcoming the souls of the damned and trying to show them something they never learnt in life and would not learn in the afterlife.
am i the only one here thats annoyed by the change of tempo at the chorus?
Yeah it's a bit disturbing at the beginning
sou do brasil esta banda e do caralho

Sial, ini tidak pernah menjadi tua. Matt Barlow hanya tingkat lain dibandingkan dengan penyanyi lain Iced Earth. Semua dari mereka adalah baik, tapi Matt hanya memberikan off getaran lain. Saya tidak menggunakan past tense karena dia akan selalu menjadi suara definitif Iced Earth untuk saya.
"Magmus" = Latin for "Magma" or "Noah".

In the metal world if you mention Iced Earth everyone goes, oh shit yeah they kick ass, but it's as if they forgot about them and you reminded them how awesome they were. They're one of those bands that everyone likes and respects, but never gained the popularity of an Iron Maiden or a Metallica. Truth be told, Iced Earth is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. they are real, authentic, classic metal and deserve to be mentioned amongst the gods of metal.
I just discovered ice earth wow I am amazed
This song describes how i feel almost everyday, but one day i wont wake and feel this way.
Omg i Love This Song soooo Fucking much 💜

The band that we the Greeks honoured the most !
Bold statement to make. Pretty sure some of your people liked Cradle of filth. Or Dio. Or Opeth. Or....
They drag me me back to my cell. Stay open-minded.

2019 I still listen
iCED EARTH FOR EVER
I am listening to Nevermore/Sanctuary (if you like Iced Earth check them out, Godless Endeavor, one of best Albums) since 5 years or so, was looking for something new and stumbled across this, awesome song, eager to discover more
Make the sadness go away... :'(
Look at the pain around me
Παμεε λίγο
Make the sadness go away
One of the best & most underrated metal bands
depresyon şarkılarımdan biridir.
Iced Earth should definitely have many many more views, I would say like 100.000.000. Wonderful and legendary band ever! Regards from Colombia 🇨🇴🖤
I used to listen to this sound track religiously when i was in high school. I related so much to this song and other songs because of the pain i felt from all the bullying i suffered. Their lyrics are just so powerful, and it really pulls out your emotions. I still listen to this bands old stuff from time to time even 20 years later.
Awesome!
my lyrics analysis :
//Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
//
Jesus asking the father to keep this cup away from him in the garden of Gethsemane
//For years I've tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
//
for years god sent prophets to tell humans to turn away from their sins but that didn't work and they refused to listen
//Empty too I have become
For them I must die
//
Jesus emptied himself from all divine attributes to suffer and die for our sins
//A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place
//
refers to how humanity is lost and can never save themselves on their own and some are even ungrateful for the sacrifice that Jesus made
//I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
//
this refers to the orthodox christian conception of hell, where hell isn't a place of physical torment but mental torment, god has saw how humans will be sad and devastated in hell
for details about this concept of hell see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiYf6ITgWbk
//Devoid of all the passion
//
humanity has no love or passion at all
//The human spirit cannot die
//
the human spirit is eternal and will suffer the consequences of its action
//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
//
there is a Christian legend that says Jesus at some point saw all the sins and the pain that humans have caused
//The things I've said and done
Don't matter to anyone//
people didn't care about what God taught and did in the old testament
//But still, you push me to see
Something, I can never be
//
i don't know if this is intentional or not but this also deeply reflects what the orthodox conception of hell is, God doesn't throw anyone in hell, hell is a state humans make for themselves through sin, here humanity is pushing God to watch them as they suffer since it says "push me to see" not "push me to do" but God says i can never be that person who watches them to suffer
//Why am I their shattered king?
I don't mean anything
//
reflects the emotional pain Jesus endured on the cross
I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis
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
Hala nasıl bu kadar iyi olabiliyorsun 😍

Iced earth was never iced earth without Matt Barlow. Even thou John Shaffer writes all the music as far as I'm concerned Tim ripper Owens is good. And I actually liked the glorious burden for instance. Still I think horror show is their best album. Wolf. Jack. The phantom opera ghost and so on.
Ωραίοι, και ωραίο κομμάτι, απλά τούς έχω βαρεθεί, Από 13χρ. Τούς ακούω, βασικά με MAIDEN άρχισα (πού τους έχουν ξεπατικωσει, λίγο maiden λίγο metallica και εδώ είμαστε, δεν τό λέω για κακό, και οι maiden από κάπου πήραν κ αυτοί, λίγο Thin lizzy k.t.l) και τό δεύτερο και ΔΥΝΑΤΌ ΜΈΧΡΙ ΣΉΜΕΡΑ,THE(TRUE)SEPS, Βασικά CAVALERA και τά μυαλά στα κάγκελα, με το UNDER A PALE GREY SKYYYYYYYY
Still singing along in 2019! Hell yeah! One of the great tracks from the golden years of Heavy Metal! (80's and 90's)
adoro essa musica!
*Suicide*
sucha tragic but beautiful lyrical message.
one of the best metal bands
Κανένας τέλη 2018 αρχές 2019;;;
ΕΝΝΟΕΙΤΑΙ
This song kicks ass! When this album came out, me, my boyfriend and his brother jammed on this especially this song. Then suddenly my boyfriend’s brother dropped dead of a heart attack at age 36 on July 4th ‘99 and my boyfriend could never listen to this song again. So heartbreaking. But 4 years ago, my boyfriend from back then passed away of cancer, so now he’s reunited with his brother and I bet they are jammin’ to this in Heaven! RIP my boys. I miss and love you both ❤️
And actually this song is from 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' not 'The Blessed And The Damned'
Spectacular track with spectacular lyrics.
