Lyrics
Martyrs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In your light lies the road to something other
The ardous path leading far beyond
Your saintly voices always present
In every thought and every deed
Holy light, that flame of transgression
Shines so bright through this white darkness
All worldly hindrance dispelled by your grace
With every step against the sun
On and on
Shine your light on outcasts shunned
From serpent seed rise triumphant our breed
To force creation back to nought
Come, oh dawn of my incarceration's end
The flight of no return
When I shall transcend in martyrdom
As one against all
Passing through the veil
Named and unnamed
Victorious martyrs whose deeds won't ever be forgotten
Receive these offerings
And I pray that you grant me further strength
Protection and illumination on this path
That you have trodden
May my branded soul
With your grace ever burn with adherence
To our holy cause
Until the reversal of all
And the liberation of spirit towards nought
Side by side with you martyrs of the path
I shall defy every law of man
Break every shackle imposed on me
Until the final day of wrath
On and on
Shine your light on outcasts shunned
From serpent seed rise triumphant our breed
To force creation back to nought
Come, oh dawn of my incarceration's end
The flight of no return
When I shall transcend in martyrdom
As one against all
Passing through the veil
