Fettered into submission
The romans strip your pride
They start to beat you senseless
They’ll gouge out your eyes
Flayed with metal shreds
Tearing flesh and bone
Agony engulfs you
They bludgeon you with stones
You cry out for your God
He is seemingly not there
The faith of the martyr
Wanes, barely prepared
Now with his broken body
Hung flayed and beaten
They erect a cross
For his religious treason
His body raised up high
Picked at by birds
They lodge a spear into his abdomen
This man now must die
After his painful demise
He meets his Father in heaven
His pain was rewarded
Steadfast in his faith
