NOTRadio A SONG FOR THE MARTYRS OF THE REFORMATION
Below are the words to a very powerful song that was written and created, using musical tools in AI, by our dear friend and brother, Jason Ackerman. The song is titled: "Eyes to See." It is posted by permission.
The song might have also been named "Forgotten Flames," since that is part of the chorus, and signifies how many Christians in the modern world seem to have forgotten the sacrifice of the martyrs who laid down their lives, so that we as their descendants might have the Word of God in our own language. We are posting this for the benefit of those in our radio audience who hear the song for the first time on our Reformation Day radio program, but here is a link to where the song can be found on the SUNO website:
“EYES TO SEE …” (Cinematic Bagpipes)
A.I. Song Created by Jason Ackerman
Those with eyes to see,
Those with ears to hear,
Saw beyond the papal throne,
Beyond the worldly cheer.
They saw the Lamb who reigns above,
The risen King of endless love.
Many gave their lives.
Their blood the price they had to pay.
Burned at the stake, Cast into chains,
Faithful hearts through fire and pain.
Holding the Word, they would not deny,
Christ alone—their battle cry.
Today we read the Book they gave,
Freely now, for they were brave.
Yet memory fades, and voices still,
The martyrs sleep on Zion's hill. ---
[Chorus –]
Forgotten flames, forgotten cries,
The truth they saw through earthly lies.
The crown removed, but not destroyed,
The ancient power still employed. ---
Once they saw the triple crown,
A sign of Antichrist renowned.
Three realms ruled by mortal hand,
Souls and nations at command.
But now that crown is hid away,
The world deceived by what they say.
The throne still stands, the reach still grows,
Though few today, the danger know.
[Chorus –]
Forgotten flames, forgotten cries,
The truth they saw through earthly lies.
The crown removed, but not destroyed,
The ancient power still employed.
"Popery is Satan’s grand design,"
The Reformers' cry through the halls of time.
Even the faithful, long ago,
Declared one truth we need to know:
"Either he is Christ’s vicar divine,
Or he’s Antichrist by dark design.
There is no middle, no safe ground,
For only one true King is crowned."
While all eyes watch the threats they see,
A deeper plan works secretly.
Rome advances, conquers still,
Hidden hands and shadowed will.
For even now, the throne’s not gone,
Its claims remain, its grip lives on.
The crown may hide from mortal view,
But the old ambitions still ring true.
[Final Chorus –]
Forgotten flames, forgotten cries,
The martyrs’ song through endless skies.
Their blood proclaims, their witness clear,
The Lamb alone we love and fear.
Jesus reigns, the world shall see,
Every crown bows to His decree.
Though shadows move, and kingdoms fall,
Christ alone is Lord of all.
[Outro – Whispered Echo]
"Eyes to see, ears to hear…"
"The Lamb who reigns forever near."
