Utopia's Martyr

Utopia's dreamer, conscience's voice
Between king and God, he makes his choice
Henry's wrath, a friendship shattered
More's conviction, all that mattered
Lord Chancellor, now cast aside
For principles, he'll turn the tide

Utopia's martyr, standing alone
Faith over crown, flesh and bone
In betrayal's face, his spirit soars
"God's good servant," Thomas More
Against the king, he takes his stand
Courage guiding heart and hand

Refusing the oath, the die is cast
Tower's shadows growing fast
Silence speaks, truth expressed
More's resolve put to the test
Treason's charge, a mockery of law
But from his faith, he will not withdraw

Utopia's martyr, standing alone
Faith over crown, flesh and bone
In betrayal's face, his spirit soars
"God's good servant," Thomas More
Against the king, he takes his stand
Courage guiding heart and hand

Trial's farce, verdict clear
Yet More faces death without fear
On the scaffold, wisdom imparts
His death ignites faithful hearts
With jest and grace, he meets his fate
A courage time cannot abate

Betrayed by king, but true to soul
More's courage makes history whole
A man for all seasons stands tall
Even as axe prepares to fall
In death, he triumphs over might
His conscience clear, his spirit bright

Utopia's martyr, standing alone
Faith over crown, flesh and bone
In betrayal's face, his spirit soars
"God's good servant," Thomas More
Against the king, he takes his stand
Courage guiding heart and hand

Utopia's martyr, forever inspire
Truth and justice that never tire
Thomas More, in death you've won
Your courage outshines the sun
A beacon for all who dare to be
Steadfast in face of tyranny
