One Soul, One Life Lyrics

Interrogated and imprisoned
For two years time
To coerce a confession
And to assess her crimes

Maria unwavering
Her beliefs tightly held
Her strength never faltered
Only giving of herself

She claimed to work with Mary
Purging souls from purgatory
And married to Jesus
An extreme blasphemy

They would not convince her
So they put her on trial
A victim of her abusers
Now saving their own hides


Whatever they accused
She'd reply, "It is true"
But never acknowledged
Her guilt in anything

"Though you will burn me alive
I will not deny my testimony
Do whatever you deem best
For I have one soul, one life!"

The court found her guilty
Convicted her of heresy
They gave her two days
To repent for a lesser sentence

Locked in a cell
She would not allow
A confessor to visit
And she repented nothing!
