Martyrum, Martyrum

Martyrum, martyrum Surely, my suffering had a higher meaning. The war that I’ve witnessed had a lesson, It had to mean something… Martyrum, martyrum Surely, it was meant to be For the young me to know what adults do at night… Unwillingly Martyrum, martyrum Surely, I was meant to learn something from his death… A lesson for the ages? Nothing good lasts forever? I still search for the meaning, no answer. Martyrum, martyrum I loved her so much but couldn't give her what she deserved So I let go of what my heart couldn’t afford Martyrum, martyrum I still dream about my friends Even when I was the one who ignored them Shame is all that i have for them Martyrum, martyrum Surely there is something to gain from all of this A beautiful place, wisdom, perhaps grace? My suffering is noble. It has to be. It must be…?

Seems these are the questions we ask, what's it all about, what's it all for? Somewhere = there is a purpose, we just don't know why.
