such an awful, tragic night

though i've only done what's right

even with my conscience clear

i can't help this flood of tears

i've got my eye on hte finish line

though i've been striving for their good

i will be misunderstood

even my own darling dear

misconstrued what was so clear

give the time i think she would have understood

that it was for the greater good

soon i will meet her at our mansion in the sky

leaving this wicked world behind

it's strange that it should end this way

but martyrs never have a say
