Lyrics to Stigmata Martyr :

A heroine, a deity

on heroin, or vanity

To jack their personality,

beyond normal humanity.

A crowd of massed humanity

bow and worship diligently.

He's built a loyal following

and they steer him thoroughly.

But jealous man plots from the pews,

no need for valid righteousness.

One slightly truthful word set free,

will turn the tides quite easily.

Our accusations need not be

what would bury mortal man.

The sins of our own deity are tiny,

but on these we stand.

So once upon the podium,

a crucifix we then erect,

And nail our hero heartily,

hands and feet, we bind his neck.

The reasons for our worship fades,

our Idol drenched in his own blood,

Forgotten are the virtues that we,

valued beyond royalty.

Such joy we dig his shallow grave,

anticipating pains to come.

We watch the wriggling dance of death,

and laugh light hearted at deaths fun.

We pounded out the joyous light.

Our saviors buried now for years.

A legend now of time gone by,

A martyr of forgotten tears.

Disappointed that this isn't a cover of the Bauhaus song of the same name.

Dear ethylanne, When I first found this song some years ago, I, too, thought it was going to be a Bauhaus cover. Although it obviously turned out not to be a Bauhaus cover, I was still not disappointed with what I'd found. :) Cheers, Alex Peak

Dear Luo Mary, To be fair, "new" is subjective. The blues, which has been around for over a century, is relatively new when compared to various epochs of classical music. Anything musical phenomenon emerging within the past decade would certainly register as "new" in my book. :) Respectfully, Alex Peak

What I'm saying is that the Steampunk subculture is new, even though it's inspiration were the Victorian and Industrial era's. It is about as young as the Cyberpunk culture, and is very young compared to the Renaissance subculture that's been around for a long time, my grandfather even remembers that subculture being around when he was a kid. Point: Steampunk subculture is young.

It's relatively new. New doesn't mean 1 year old, it can go out to 100 years depending on what you are speaking of. It's like how the Democratic and Republican stances are relatively new compared to the old, the Democrats of Lincolns time being more like the Republicans of our time and vis versa.

Steampunk is a new culture, in the same style than gothic is a culture touching every king of art you can found and fashion. Steampunk touch music(abney park is probably the best group) dance, theatre, fashion, movies, home decor,but it strarted as a Literary current. and you should'nt take care to what the computer say.they class gotic music in pop some times! and steampunk isn't in there list, of music style so they can't tell . I hope you can discover steampunk a litle more and anjoy it!

Steampunk? I've heard of steampunk being a literary genre, but this is the first I've heard of it being a musical genre as well. Reading this inspired me to check Wikipedia, which confirms that there is indeed a vaguely-defined genre of music bearing that name. I'll have to look into it further. :) In any event, Wikipedia lists the album on which this appears as neoclassical darkwave. On my computer, this song is simply listed as gothic rock, and Abney Park indeed began in the gothic genre. :)

The song is not about religion. It is about us. It is about how we build up certain people into heroes and then later tear them down. It is as much about the sports star as it is about the priest.
