No co-eternal flame, He’s begotten in time,You call Him equal God? Man, that don’t rhyme.I’m logical, rational, system’s precise,But bro, you just preachin’ hype. [Athanasius] Hold up, Arius, step back, don’t twist the creed,You deny the Lord’s glory, but truth’s what we need.The Word was with God, the Word was God,No creature creates us, that’s a fatal fraud. You strip Christ of honor, reduce Him to less,But salvation demands He’s God in the flesh.If He’s not eternal, our hope is erased,Only God can redeem, only God gives grace. [Arius] But look at the Scriptures, He’s the firstborn made,The Father stands higher, that’s how the ranks laid.My logic’s consistent, philosophy’s tight,You makin’ mystery doctrine, it just ain’t right. [Athanasius] Yo Arius, your arguments crumble, they weak,You twistin’ the Scriptures, but the truth’s what I speak.The Word wasn’t crafted, the Creed made it plain,The Son’s homoousios—same nature, same reign. You talk “firstborn,” but you miss the theme,That’s rank and honor — not created scheme.Colossians testifies, creation’s through Him,Without the Eternal, salvation grows dim. If Christ ain’t full God, then the Cross is in vain,No creature can carry the infinite stain.Only God saves man, only God takes the blame,And Jesus is God — yesterday, today, the same. Your “wisdom” is folly, your logic’s a chain,But the Spirit breaks lies, and the Creed will remain.The Church stands united, the heresy hurled,But truth don’t bow down to the ways of the world. I fought on the run, through exile, through fire,But Christ is my portion, my heart, my desire.Your kingdom is dust, your doctrine’s been twirled,But the Word reigns forever, the Victor’s unfurled. So hear me now, history, let the anthem be heard,I’ll shout it with power, my eternal word: “If the world is against the truth,Then I am against the world!” “If the world is against the truth,Then I am against the world!” “If the world is against the truth,Then I am against the world!” “If the world is against the truth,Then I am against the world!”
