A Martyr

I must reach the hill
To ensure my protection
I must reach my clan
To strengthen our defenses
I see their torches burn
Catching up to my location
So long they cannot reach the hill
I sacrifice myself


From out of the darkness
Ignites flames on a cross
To lead the mob to my location
Their search for my family is lost
From out of the shadows
To embrace my death
I surrender freely
To save my family

You see the abhorrent sight
A cross burns in the distance
A beacon to what we fight
Blaspheming our religion
I see his eyes ablaze
This child worships the devil
Bind him in chains with one thousand locks
He mustn’t ever escape

From out of the darkness
Ignites flames on a cross
To lead the mob to my location
Their search for my family is lost
From out of the shadows
To embrace my death
I surrender freely
To save my family

Lead him back into town
We’ll have our way with him tonight
The way he shows no fear
Scares us more than our foresight
No reaction to the pain
We inflict to make him speak
Not a word has been said
Tomorrow a trail then to his death

From out of the darkness
Ignites flames on a cross
To lead the mob to my location
Their search for my family is lost
From out of the shadows
To embrace my death
I surrender freely
To save my family
