A martyr (Greek: μάρτυς, mártys, "witness"; stem μάρτυρ-, mártyr-) is somebody who suffers persecution and death for refusing to renounce, or accept, a belief or cause, usually religious.
In its original meaning, the word martyr, meaning witness, was used in the secular sphere as well as in the New Testament of the Bible. The process of bearing witness was not intended to lead to the death of the witness, although it is known from ancient writers (e.g. Josephus) and from the New Testament that witnesses often died for their testimonies.
During the early Christian centuries, the term acquired the extended meaning of a believer who is called to witness for their religious belief, and on account of this witness, endures suffering and/or death. The term, in this later sense, entered the English language as a loanword. The death of a martyr or the value attributed to it is called martyrdom.
The early Christians who first began to use the term martyr in its new sense saw Jesus as the first and greatest martyr, on account of his crucifixion. The early Christians appear to have seen Jesus as the archetypical martyr.

Your words on arguments
And papers on the wall
Little Jenni's on the floor
When I'm never not alone
Wants you decide to go
Now feathers in the air
Aaah, leters everywhere
Refrain [2x]:
And it's late now
You don't lay
And I heard what you say
And I leave you there for dead
Don't you feel as if you've been
Your precious and ???
Been something that's not real, oh babe
I am never not alone
Wants you decide to go
And now feathers in the rain
You'll never see me again
Refrain [2x]
I show the Martyrdom
