-------- TRANSLATION by Echter B3ng31 ---------
I go to the market place, saying "kiss my ..."
Tetzel screams around: "Don't worry, I'll save you."
I say: "Dude, I'm freaking afraid of hellfire."
I've got something for you.
Follow me.
Oooooh, look at this.
Purgatory? Doesn't need to be so long.
You poor bastard, take the indulgences home.
God will be merciful, just throw the coin in.
Here comes LUTHER.
Lies everywhere (literal: Lies up to the sky).
Greed. Grows with you like mold.
The popes court, showy crowd.
Though the pope only has a far too small ...
Dome. Be smart and chill.
And put for the coal (wordplay: coal=money) a steak on the grill.
Your church Latin, nothing for the laymen.
They need hope, not nails from the cross in a shrine
Christ gives himself, loves you, says: "Don't be afraid of death!"
Meet him personally, indulgences are foolish.
Yo!
Theology is my thing, I'm a doctor of it.
Influenced by Staupitz in the monastery, there he rocks.
Karlstadt, Calvin, Zwingli, Melanchton
What about it? I had the attention!
Totally down/depressed I enter monastic life in 1505 and cower down and drop prayers daily.
How do I become justified in front of a God, who is perfect?
Totally left loveless it's getting dark around me.
But god sets free, doens't give up, I understand
Romans 1,17 black on white
God gives you faith, God gives you grace.
Fuck indulgences, you have Jesus man!
95 theses, much explained with few words.
Wow (literal: incredible horse), printing press - [theses] copied in no time
The whole empire equals a hot spot
Legendary hammer strikes coming in from Wittenberg.
Luther, Luther (Luther)
Luther, Luther (Luther)
He translated the bible
He resisted pope and emperor
(Luther)
Therefore he was appreciated by the people
(Luther)
With God's word in his heart.
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, Hey-ey-ey-ey)
(Luther)
They put you under pressure, man.
If you had stayed silent, then
the world would look different today.
(Luther)
If the 95 theses
hadn't been back then
who would still read the bible today
without Luther?
Stop! No more jokes.
Criticism disappears into thin air.
So old, so worthy
Rome draws the line.
Yeah!
Come here, buddy (literal: fat one)
your theses are fodder.
We're God's will,
his extended arm.
terminal station for heretic stuff.
Holy is only what seems us fit.
All the world knows, nobody daddy-can compete with us
All but me, the M, the ARTI, the N.
The Wittenberg-Boss, I let the papal bulls burn.
I produce scriptures [in masses], make you nulls cry.
I set them free, prisoners of priest who
say interpreting the bible is only for geniuses.
I give monopoly-exegetes a farewell letter.
Baby, laymen read the bible, come let's celebrate them.
Are you with me when we go to Worms and Speyer?
We have one scipture, 66 Books.
If one disproves me, I will throw in the towel.
If nobody can, I'll move on.
I move on to the Wartburg and become a language-surgeon,
digging through antique texts.
The devil screams about: "Forget it, directly, ey!"
While I translate the bible completely into german,
it's hailing black inkwells into Satans face.
Theses, main scriptures, Wartburg, the it became silent,
500 Years pass.
With my bro' francis, I can chill out pretty good.
I like his style.
Both of us stand on the same foundation,
directing on him
who hung on the cross.
For to me to live was Christ, and to die is gain. (quote from phil 1,21)
yours, Martin.

The punchline would never have existed:
"Here I stand, I can do no other."
