Vatican III

Ecclesia's song 'Vatican III' is a powerful and evocative piece that delves into themes of religious purification, repentance, and the battle against modernity's perceived corruption. The lyrics are a call to action, urging believers to come together for a new council, reminiscent of the historical Vatican Councils, to cleanse the Church of its impurities. The song opens with a summoning to Rome, highlighting the urgency and gravity of the situation. The imagery of the Church being 'stained with filth' and needing purification 'in the flame of sanctity' sets a tone of dire necessity for spiritual renewal.

The song's narrative continues by addressing the prolonged rule of 'the Lord of all iniquities,' a metaphor for the pervasive influence of sin and corruption. The reference to 'Babylon's whore' laughing and billions of souls being wasted evokes a sense of apocalyptic urgency. This biblical allusion to Babylon as a symbol of decadence and moral decay underscores the song's message about the dire state of the world and the Church. The repeated refrain, 'The world is falling, The Lord is coming back, Halleluja!' serves as both a warning and a hopeful proclamation of divine intervention.

In the latter part of the song, Ecclesia calls for a holy war against the forces of evil, including modernity, which is seen as having 'poisoned the meaning of the words of God.' The lyrics advocate for exorcism and the burning of 'evil priests,' reflecting a militant stance against perceived heresy and corruption within the Church. The song culminates in a rallying cry for the rise of a 'holy army' under the command of 'Deus Sabbaoth,' emphasizing a state of emergency and the need for divine leadership. 'Vatican III' is a dramatic and intense call for a return to spiritual purity and a rejection of modern influences that are seen as corrupting the true essence of faith.
