• A tisket
    A tasket
    A martyr in a casket
    All he knew
    All he loved
    Came from what he believed
    Lived above
    He martyred for his religion
    He martyred for his faith
    They will forgive

    All you know
    And all you care for
    In an instant
    Can be erased and taken
    But when it comes down to it?
    Will you be the martyr
    Or martyred for

    A tisket
    A tasket
    A martyr in a casket
    Her family was all she knew
    Her family was all she loved
    She prayed for divine protection
    She prayed for those she loved
    But when it came down to it
    She blew right through it
    Shoved her children
    Out of the way
    Then that man took her life away

    All you know
    And all you care for
    In an instant
    Can be erased and taken
    But when it comes down to it?
    Will you be the martyr
    Or martyred for

    A tisket
    A tasket
    A martyr in a casket
    A teenage son
    In a darkened room
    Thinking about the darkness and gloom
    His little sister
    Age fifteen
    Is down below
    Watching the TV screen
    He thought she was okay
    She thought she was safe
    All that turned upside down
    On a dreary Sunday
    A man with a knife
    Broke in expecting to take a life
    The son rusehd down
    Saw his sister
    Then saw that man who was so sinister
    No shotgun barrel to save his life
    He rushed the man with the knife
    A sucking sound the boy took a blow
    But it was enough for his little sister to take the gun and
    Blow the man to pieces
    Her brother could not be saved

    All you know
    And all you care for
    In an instant
    Can be erased and taken
    But when it comes down to it?
    Will you be the martyr
    Or martyred for

    All you know
    And all you care for

    Will you be the martyr
    Or martyred for

    A tisket
    A tasket
    A martyr in a casket
    One devout to religion
    One devoted to family
    One caring only for saftey
    All were martyred
    Do without
    Living life
    But go on
    Living Love
