I Am No Traitor

I was supposed to be your friend,
I guess it didn't matter much in the end,
Just a few words and i'm rushed in the church,
Do what you came to do no matter how much it hurts,

God give me fortitude to go through with this,
Nobody thinks they're going to die by sword tip,

God give me fortitude to forgive them before,
I am cut open and bleeding out on the floor,

I told my brothers to let them come forth,
This is a house of god, don't try and lock that door,
Let death come,

Pray i die with grace in this place,
Let death come,
Pray i die with grace in this place,
Let death come,

There is no here and not human existence,
In this simple life,
This body made a gift to me,
And i hope god will know i tried,
Though i was wayward at the start,
A calling graced me to have heart,
My earthly king has sovereignty,
A martyr's call has beckoned me,

I told my brothers to let them come forth,
This is a house of god, don't try and lock that door,
Let death come,

Whether i'm remembered as a man or a bishop of rome,
An example they make me for demonstrating,
A traitor they call me they say death is waiting,
My blood is yours,

I told my brothers to let them come forth,
This is a house of god, don't try and lock that door,
Let death come.
