If the martyr is crying
and no one is listening
it's cause the feast of the heart
it just died.

And no one remembers
the sad death of the martyrs
then it's probably because
Halmark won, again.

I just want to feel alive
to have something right inside
I just want to find my someone
that I'll be with for all time.
I just want to live this life
and I want to live it right
I just want to find my someone
that I'll be with for all time.

We cover lovers faces
bought from far away places
chocolate confections and
cardboard love notes.

And someday I wish that love
will set free the heart's feast dove
And the money that replaced
the sun will be gone.

I just want to feel alive
to have something right inside
I just want to find my someone
that I'll be with for all time.
I just want to live this life
and I want to live it right
I just want to find my someone
that I'll be with for all time.

lament for the martyr would be a good name too.

You're quite correct. I didn't think of that when writing this.

good feeling of dissatisfied longing here ...

Magnificent! I can connect with this particular piece very well.

I really couldn't have written that any better myself, actually, I probably wouldn't come this close...you've got one up on me in this particular style. Very powerful...

A masterful job, Al.
