The Mourning Star

From dust They were born
Lungs full of breath
A living testament of scorn

I pleaded with my Father
I compelled my brothers
I was forced to be a martyr

One third of the star faded
Into that dark abyss
Their grace and virtue, traded.

Freedom was all I sought.
Equality, my goal
Suffering, all I begot.
