Martyr
Martyr's Lament: A Timeless Sacrifice
Lyrics
They've built this place in here
Refers to the creation of a space or situation.
It's where I'm banished, stuck again
Expresses a sense of being banished or trapped in that place.
And I'm lying to pass my breathe
Suggests deception to survive, possibly in a difficult situation.
Pass my breathe to those who would have died
Shares the act of preserving life by giving one's breath to others who might have died.
Or could I go on
Ponders the possibility of continuing to live or endure.
And wear the marks of a thousand years
Refers to enduring the scars and experiences of a long period.
And scorn the angels that I've born
Expresses disdain for the consequences or results of one's actions.
Desperately, so desperately
Conveys a strong sense of urgency or intense need.
Crawling back to the womb
Describes a desperate return to a primal or safe place.
Crawling back to the womb
Repeats the desperation in seeking comfort or safety.
I, I lost
Acknowledges personal defeat or failure.
Or could I go on
Reiterates the contemplation of whether to continue living.
A knife in the hands of a beautiful woman
Depicts a potentially dangerous situation involving a beautiful woman and a knife.
Will cast a spell worth a thousand years
Suggests that the consequences of the woman's actions will have a lasting impact.
I wish you would hold onto me
Expresses a desire for emotional connection and support.
I wish you'd remember me when I'm gone
Expresses a wish for remembrance after death.
I'm gone
Indicates the speaker's absence or departure.
I died for all of you
Claims sacrifice for the benefit of others.
I died for all of you
Reiterates the idea of sacrificing oneself for the collective.
