Echo Hollow - Diet Of Worms

Diet Of Worms


Luther, (Luther)
A monk whose conscience wouldn’t bow to the will of a man,
The bible that he read didn’t jive with the Catholic brand,
And the foolish empire told him to shut it down,
They said, “How can faith alone save your soul?”

Liars, (liars)
Succession of the papacy became a god and ruled many well,
If you get the pope and not the Lord, you’re gonna golden calf an idol to Hell,
Just like the lying prophets,
Deception they prophesied for cash,
Selling dead indulgence,
Wolves in woolly sash.

Stand up and show the world that Christians live the real religion,
Beware, reform the church to do away with dead indulgence,
We show a dying world that Jesus lives today, forever,
We know the Lord’s seen though our faith to love another.

Do you recant of the things you say today?
Do you repent of the way that you imitate?
You can’t say those things against the church.

Do you recant of the things you say today?
Do you repent of the way that you imitate?

Do you recant of the things you say today?
Do you repent of the way that you imitate?
Cannot you see that you lie and humiliate?
Cannot you see that you wilfully desecrate?
I pray thee, just to give me a day to decide.

My conscience is captive only to scripture’s word,
Councils of churches running so fast to err,
My conscience is captive only to scripture’s word,
Councils of churches running so fast to err.

Unless I am shown by scripture and reason, my faith isn’t found in man’s old tradition,
And I won’t recant of my faith in God’s word,
Treason of conscience is not safe nor right.

It’s time to show the world that Christians live a real religion,
Beware, reform the church and do away with dead indulgence,
We show a dying world that Jesus lives today, forever,
We know the Lord is seen though our faith to love another.
