Odium Fidei

Scotland, 1528, a stake was primed, a heretic must die The son of royal blood, Patrick Hamilton, A young scot now awaits his sacrifice A man of the cloth came to comfort Then looking through this martyr’s eyes saw the eyes of God But for Patrick the hour grew dim In the courtyard, restless people calling out his lot “Saved by grace” lingered in the air As heavy as the smoke of burning flesh The taunting of this earth no longer bound A saint inflamed with Godliness Oh mighty celt, do you really think you’ll matter that far along Why do you put yourself through hell No one’s standin in the courtyard singin your song Oh mighty celt, do you really, really think you’ll matter that far along Why do you put yourself through hell No one’s standin in the courtyard singin your song From then on the church was never the same Others joined in bittersweet ending Odium Fidei At the hands of the enemy for the faith The voices of the martyrs still echo through the land Ignited by the fires of our brothers’ long gone They burn heavy on our hearts today Burning passion won’t go away until Kingdom come We’ll die for our belief in the one true God Jesus, His one begotten Son The Holy Bible, the final Word, Will govern our lives with perfect love Oh mighty celt, know you really do matter this far along Here now in the Bible belt As we stand in the church pews singin your song Peaceful warrior We stand with you, we trust your God Yeshua, the Saviour, Soon He’ll come and prove our righteous cause [Instrumental] Taught us how to live Taught us how to die Oh mighty celt, know you really do matter this far along Here now in the Bible belt As we stand in the church pews singin your song Peaceful warrior We stand with you, we trust your God Yeshua, the Saviour, Soon He’ll come and prove our righteous cause
