**Ode to the martyr who showed us the way the path he paved for us took him to his grave his will not forgotten we will not betray beauties nor beasts could keep him enslaved** ------------------------------------ The martyr needs his death as much as all the rest He was a great warrior who fought beside his one true king Then the Gods did decide that for the greater good they would take the life of both so that the people firmly understood The action of tragedy catharsis it burns up our fear brings us hope and honor an unveiled perfect wisdom born of hubris To the people who burn for revolution who seek the warriors of good know that his sacrifice is a waking call to push back against the evil that took his gallant soul he now lays as carbon in the cool soil the tension boils
