Martyr - Septicflesh

«In memoriam of Hypatia, a great mathematician, philosopher and astronomer,

murdered at 415 A.D. by order of Cyril the Bishop of Alexandria

Cyril later was declared a saint by the church…»

Your books, your friends, your life is in mortal danger

The things are tense and knowledge is offense

In this nation vast deception reigns

Church and politics threaten your survival

A strife has grown between faith and wisdom

You chose to stand for the exalted ego

Your creation, a creation maimed

Blame the vultures and their vile way

The mob: «Run Devil’s seed!

You will face the wrath of God

Run Devil’s seed!

You will face the wrath of God

Run Devil’s seed!»

You will face the wrath of God

The highest price you’ll pay

You will face the wrath of God

The highest price you’ll pay

Martyr

Unyielding force of thought and spirit

Martyr

Unyielding force of thought and spirit

Your essence remained

Your work, your life, your books

Unyielding force of thought and spirit, shine!
