From 1203 to 1805

1203 to 1805 from Spencer Adler on Vimeo.

1. From 1203 to 1805
   50 million Christians died^(source)
   Suffering at the hands of Rome
   ‘Cause they believed in Christ alone. 
2. They died through Europe especially Spain
   For they saw all but Christ in vain
   He suffered by His death for men
   To save them from their awful sin.
3. 600 years of martyred saints
   That history cannot erase
   With iron heel and iron hand
   The Roman Popes rule the land.
4. Those ignorant of history
   May be swept into apostasy
   We won’t be lulled by Rome’s sweet lie
   With 50 million reasons why.
5. Salvation is by faith alone
   In Christ alone by Grace alone
   A Sovereign God gives faith to man
   Salvation’s in the Maker’s hand.
6. This gospel offends Rome today
   They offer up another way
   A counterfeit. A compromise
   Beware the ancient Papal lie
7. With such a cloud of witnesses
   Who by grace died in their Lord
   Recall their memory to say
   By those same faiths we live today.

Note that this song is about the inquistion, not particularly the Counter Reformation.
