The Schism

In the heart of Rome, a rift divides
As power and pride clash in the tides
Papal thrones and empires collide
In the Great Schism, where faiths abide

Crisis of faith, in the church's hall
East and West, answer the call
Orthodox and Catholic, torn apart
In the Great Schism, where history starts

Dogma and doctrine, points of contention
Fueling the flames of religious tension
From Constantinople to Rome's grand spires
The split widens, fueling desires

Crisis of faith, in the church's hall
East and West, answer the call
Orthodox and Catholic, torn apart
In the Great Schism, where history starts

Leaders of faith, with hearts of stone
Struggle for power, for the throne
But in the midst of this divide
Millions of souls, in faith, confide

Crisis of faith, in the church's hall
East and West, answer the call
Orthodox and Catholic, torn apart
In the Great Schism, where history starts

Centuries pass, wounds slowly heal
But echoes of division, we still feel
In the tapestry of Christianity's story
The Great Schism remains, a testament to glory
