There were martyrs for the Cause
and there were those who chose to watch.
There was new fire in their hearts
It was after this, the Wolf sought
They carried love with their belief
searching for the unity
But when violent power is held in the wrong hands
its hate that has no remedy
and I say
Do you believe in?
Do you believe in martyrs?
All the blood, the persecution
Tell me why it had to be
All those soldiers with their rifles
to make the others see
When the temple was stained red
this did not stop the uphill fight they led
Still they find their hearts so sore
yet free to see theres martyrs more and more
and I say
Do you believe in?
Do you believe in martyrs?
Lo, the victims of a government
First Babi and then Baha'i
Love was in their disposition
Not even death could make them cry,
not even death could make them die.
