Songtext That long Flame

That long

Do you know how long it had been?
Without any significant disagreement that Christ was bodily present in the bread and the wine (Better watch these new doctrines)
You know how long it took for someone to start teaching "is" means represents (Can't ignore thus, bruh)

One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, facts
I'm talking about the first fifteen, huh
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero
Boy, I'm talking about the first fifteen, huh

Take them to the Marburg Colloquy
Luther versus Zwingli it's bout to be
Two prominent scholars from 1529 I promise they're boxing theology
This is my body he carved
Luther wrote that in some chalk
Then covered it with a cloth
But patiently waited to show it
Shout out to Philip of Hesse he
Wrote letters to set up successfully
This meeting between these legendary figures, he figured his efforts would definitely
Form a political front, so Charles the V does not get what he wants
To stick with the script of the edict of Worms
To basically seek out and delete the Reformers
But Luther wrote, "This is my body"
Emphasis on the word, "Is"
This is God's promise, when he spoke the words of institution
Homeboy "is" means "is"
It "is" Christ body, Zwingli ain't like it
Because it contradicted rationalism
Now he's trying to explain it
Instead of sticking with the plain meaning
Of what the boy's reading
He elevated reason and he changed it, facts

One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, facts
I'm talking about the first fifteen, huh
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero
Boy, I'm talking about the first fifteen, huh

We can't ignore Ethiopia
These Africans never been colonized
Trace them back to the book of Acts
To the eunuch that asked to be baptized
They never came under the Papacy
Gave the cup and the bread to the laity
And when Luther met Michael the deacon
They both in agreement that Jesus in bread and wine
Really ain't no way to debate this
Even dating back to Ignatius
He was born in A.D. 35
And discipled by the apostle John
He taught the body in bread
And the African known as Augustine
Can't forget about Irenaeus
And the Martyr known as Justin
From Cyril to Thomas Aquinas
The testimony of the ancient
Church is really universal
Until Zwingli decided to change it
And Calvin started placing his limits
On Jesus' metaphysics (In the Institutes)
And lead with his presuppositions
And keeping them over the scriptures, facts

One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, facts
I'm talking about the first fifteen, huh
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero, that long
One five zero, zero
Boy, I'm talking about the first fifteen, huh
