Some say to Martyr is to stoop to a level unfurled
I say it's to rise to a pedestal of herald
Try must the Martyr to bring order to the world
Try must the Martyr but in return seeks no gold
Not his name in lights
Or children in awe
Just known by some
He gave it his all
Down is the Martyr
Out in a torrent
So unfortunate this conflict would warrant
The death and despair of all its masses
Done with now after the Martyr clashes
