Must I die to be immortalized?

Don't look to me 'cause I am nothing
Self-destructive, a whore with no life
What a pity, now you own me
A tombstone my shrine, worship me when I die

Cash in on the tombstone
Sell out integrity
Cash in on the tombstone
Buy immortality
You can fool the weak
But you're no legend to me

Only in death do I gain eternal life
And those who knew me will be heroes at my shrine
Cast your illusions over my reality
You'll pay money to be victims of my crime

You strive to be as I overcome
Asked for a martyr and now you have one
All my life lived as a lie
A tombstone my shrine, worship me when I die
