The journey was silent    and few words were said

Four humble men    sang with the angels on high
             G   A               D      Bm
"He asked if I     for him would die
              G                  A
The flesh was weak, my blood ran chill
            D      A/C#    Bm
But my free spirit cried I will!"

A noise from the stairway, a shot through the door

The first martyr fell to the floor
                      G                        A
