the martyr's jump from stone to stone
praying at zeus' alter, throne
they sacrifice, they give their lives
fear or hell, and blood and knives
they worship falsely, they praise stone
praying at zeus' alter, throne
death they say, is better than hell
dead and rotting, the sites the smell
deception & lies, of truth not found
what fiction, in what book, was bound?
