Martyr

Don’t cry be brave
Bow down and pray the lord
The time has come
To satisfy the crowd
Open wide
The lion’s mouth awaits
The crowd wants blood
My lord I’ll give’em mine

The light of day
Comfort my lonely soul
And fills my heart
As I begin to walk up
In the arena floor
No change of mind
Soon I’ll be glorified

I’ll leave this world
To efface my faults
You laugh at me
But soon you’ll cry
Seeing my courage as I die

The lions wait to be unchained
Ready to fall upon their prey
They’ll tear to pieces
My mortal shell
Like they have done
With all my friends

The savage beasts
Now walk around
With their sharp nails
They scratch the ground
In blood they’ll revel
With flesh they’ll feast
And human madness
Will be pleased

I’m just part of the game
But the winner’s not always the same
Now
I’m going to die
No fear inside my heart
The light embrace my soul
