Discover the story of the song > MARTYR C9mplex – broadway karkat

The protagonist talks about how blood was used as a weapon to rule, but he won't let his descendants know about it. When he is faced with danger from Darkleer, he will be ready to fight. He won't cry or suffer for the things his partner does, and he won't become a martyr, even though he feels like he was meant for something more. He dances with his hands above his head like the Signless, and even if the gods are laughing at him, he won't let it bring him down.
