I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low Running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be that there's some sort of an error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end, not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears flow but why am I crying? After all I am not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me go? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away Mark my words believe my soul lives on Don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah, yeah, yeah Hallowed be Thy name Yeah, yeah, yeah Hallowed be Thy name
D AFONSO HENRIQUES
The legend
According to legend, Martim Moniz was a knight who fought with heroism during the siege of Lisbon, alongside christian forces under the command of King Afonso Henriques (1112-1185).
Realizing the opening of a door in the Moorish Castle, he attacked it individually, sacrificing his life by crossing his own body in the span of it, as a way to prevent the door closing by the defenders.
This heroic gesture allowed to gain the necessary time on the arrival of his companions, who thus managed to penetrate the castle. In his honor, this access became known as Martim Moniz's Gate. With this gesture he became a glorious Christian martyr

Legend has it that D. Afonso Henriques had laid siege to the city of Lisbon, helped by the many crusaders who passed there on their way to the Holy Land. In one of the attempted robberies of one of the city's gates, Martim Moniz confronted the Moors and managed to keep the door open. His body was crossed between the two stops and allowed christians to enter the city. Badly wounded, Martim Moniz entered the city with his companions and made some victims among the enemies, before falling dead. D. Afonso Henriques wanted to honor his bravery and sacrifice, so he ordered that that entrance should be named Martim Moniz. The people say that it was D. Afonso Henriques himself who ordered the hero's bust to be put in a stone niche, where it is still today, next to Martim Moniz Square. Facebook

La légende raconte que D. Afonso Henriques avait assiégé la ville de Lisbonne, aidé par les nombreux croisés qui y passèrent en route vers la Terre Sainte. Dans l’une des tentatives de vol d’une des portes de la ville, Martim Moniz a affronté les Maures et a réussi à garder la porte ouverte. Son corps a été croisé entre les deux arrêts et a permis aux chrétiens d’entrer dans la ville. Grièvement blessé, Martim Moniz entra dans la ville avec ses compagnons et fait quelques victimes parmi les ennemis, avant de tomber mort. D. Afonso Henriques a voulu honorer sa bravoure et son sacrifice, alors il a ordonné que cette entrée soit nommée Martim Moniz. Les gens disent que c’est D. Afonso Henriques lui-même qui a ordonné que le buste du héros soit mis dans une niche en pierre, où il est encore aujourd’hui, à côté de la place Martim Moniz. Facebook

A lenda conta que D. Afonso Henriques tinha posto cerco à cidade PT de Lisboa, ajudado pelos muitos cruzados que por ali passaram a caminho da Terra Santa. Numa das tentativas PT de assalto a uma das portas da cidade, Martim Moniz enfrentou os mouros e conseguiu manter a porta aberta. O seu corpo ficou atravessado entre os dois batentes e permitiu que os cristãos entrassem na cidade. Gravemente ferido, Martim Moniz entrou na cidade com os seus companheiros e fez ainda algumas vítimas entre os inimigos, antes de cair morto. D. Afonso Henriques quis honrar a sua valentia e sacrifício, pelo que ordenou que aquela entrada passasse a ter o nome de Martim Moniz. O povo diz que foi a PT, o próprio D. Afonso Henriques quem mandou colocar o busto do herói num nicho de pedra, onde ainda hoje se encontra, junto à Praça de Martim Moniz.
