Martyrs
Eternal Sacrifice: Unveiling the Depths of Human Connection
Lyrics
I still remember the smell of fuel and the rising flames
I have vivid memories of the scent of fuel and the flames that were rising.
They tied my hands behind my head and gunpowder round my waist
My hands were bound behind my head, and gunpowder was placed around my waist.
I've been your sacrifice before
I've been offered as a sacrifice for you in the past.
I don't deserve this
I do not deserve the treatment or situation I am currently facing.
I've been your savior before
I've played the role of your savior before.
It wasn't worth it
However, the effort or sacrifice wasn't worthwhile.
I would have fought for your honour
I would have bravely defended your honor.
Made my way down into Hell
I would have descended into Hell for you.
But, look what we've done to each other
Reflecting on the consequences, we have harmed each other.
Look what we've done to ourselves
Reflecting on our actions, we have caused harm to ourselves.
I would have fought for your honour
I would have bravely defended your honor.
Made my way down into Hell
I would have descended into Hell for you.
Look what we've done to each other
Reflecting on the consequences, we have harmed each other.
Look what we've done to ourselves
Reflecting on our actions, we have caused harm to ourselves.
I offered you my life
I offered you my life.
I offered you my soul
I offered you my soul.
Like the dead offer up their hearts
Similar to the way the dead offer their hearts to Maat in judgment, seeking eternal life.
To Maat in the hall of judgement
This refers to the ancient Egyptian concept of the afterlife and judgment.
To be given eternal life
To gain eternal life or face destruction like stars burning out.
Or burn up like stars
Observing how we ruin everything we come into contact with.
Watch how we destroy everything we touch
Reflecting on the destructive nature of our actions towards the things we love.
Watch how we destroy everything we love
Highlighting the pattern of destroying everything we hold dear.
