The final act of a martyr, Is done with conviction. A clarity unrecognizable by man. I do not fear the prospect of dying, God will take me when it is time. I do not fear the prospect of Hell, If I must be convicted for what I believe, Then I will go. My final words, A church bell ringing in the storm. My final meal, The ash of mankind's love.

Clarity of a Martyr
The final act of a martyr, Is done with conviction. A clarity unrecognizable by man. I do not fear the prospect of dying, God will take me when it is time. I do not fear the prospect of Hell, If I must be convicted for what I believe, Then I will go. My final words, A church bell ringing in the storm. My final meal, The ash of mankind's love.
We choose our saints, And our devils.
