Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody sees the world through a lens they deny,Say they’re neutral—but their standards testify.
You appeal to reason, logic, science, and law,Then can’t tell me why they bind us at all.

You borrow from a future your worldview can’t save,Use God’s tools while you deny His name.
Uniformity? Moral “oughts” you defend?In your system they dissolve into chance till the end.

Facts don’t float, they’re framed and explained,Meaning’s never free—it’s tethered to names.
So I won’t stand where you tell me to be—I start with the One who explains reality.

Van Til drew the line—no neutrality,
Antithesis cuts through all reality.
Christianity ain’t one block on the shelf—It’s the precondition for knowledge itself.

You say “prove God,” but assume the proof,Laws of logic already bearing His truth.
Logic’s not abstract, suspended in air,It reflects a mind that’s eternal and fair.

You don’t reason up to God from the dirt,You reason because He authored the work.
I don’t answer claims detached from the frame—Without Christ, you can’t explain the game.

[Chorus]
By what standard? Don’t dodge the line,Your ethics, your logic—where’d you find?If God’s not Lord, your system falls apart,You’re living off capital you can’t restart.

By what standard? Be honest and see,Your worldview collapses in inconsistency.You argue, you reason, you call things “right,”Only makes sense with the Scripture’s in sight.

Verse 2
Bahnsen in the stand—cross-exam tight,“Can your worldview live what it claims is right?”
You say morals are taste, truth’s just a view,Then cry injustice when it’s done to you.

Internal critique—no change of the rules,Your claims collapse when I use your tools.
If all is chance—time, matter, and fizz—Why trust your thoughts to describe what is?

Argue all day, you’re stuck in the web,Every sentence assumes God isn’t dead.
Inteligibility shouts His name—Fear of the Lord is the spark of the flame.

You say truth is constructed—then want me to agree,That claim demands authority it says can’t be.
Relativism preaches with absolute breath,“No absolutes” dies by its own self-death.

If reason evolved just to keep you alive,Why trust it to tell you what’s false or right?
Selection rewards survival, not truth,So your confidence saws off its own root.

You demand proof while assuming the sight,Trust logic you can’t test, laws you can’t cite.
You mock revelation as faith gone astray,While your system believes more blindly each day.

So I don’t patch cracks or answer in part—I expose the foundation collapsing apart.
You borrow the beams from the faith that you fight—The God of the Bible alone gives you sight.

[Chorus]
By what standard? Don’t dodge the line,Your ethics, your logic—where’d you find?If God’s not Lord, your system falls apart,You’re living off capital you can’t restart.

By what standard? Be honest and see,Your worldview collapses in inconsistency.You argue, you reason, you call things “right,”Only makes sense with the Scripture’s in sight.
