Christus vincit, christus regnat Antonius, malleus haereticorum Born in lisbon, noble flame Left comfort, wealth, and name Saw martyrs fall for Christ's crown Dropped the world, put heaven on Francis' fire ignited his soul Ragged robe, iron control Sent to war with book and breath To preach truth into death Not sword and steel But word and fire He marched with Christ As sole desire Hammer of heretics Anthony strikes with holy flame False doctrine burns in Jesus' name Preach, strike, destroy Truth unleashed like thunder roar Christendom restored Cathar poison filled the land Denied the flesh, cursed God's plan Mocked the mass, despised the cross Dragged souls down to endless loss Anthony stood in hostile towns Crowds enraged, stones thrown down Yet scripture fell like battlefield rain Heresy shattered in chains They brought arguments He brought war With gospel truth They fell before Hammer of heretics Breaker of blasphemous lies Raised the cross before their eyes Preach, strike, destroy From Italy to France he roared The faith restored They mocked the host, denied its power He called heaven in the hour Before the beast, before the crowd The mule knelt down, the miracle loud Eucharist crowned in living sign Christ made flesh, truly divine Even beasts confessed his throne While hardened hearts turned to stone Creation bowed When men refused The truth stood firm When lies accused Hammer of heretics Champion of altar fire Raised the mass even higher Preach, strike, destroy Bread of heaven, flesh of God Victory unflawed O sacrum convivium In quo christus sumitur Crowds like armies followed his voice Thousands converted, no other choice Sinners returned, thieves made right Cities baptized in holy light Young in years but ancient in flame Doctor of church would seal his name Died in prayer, still preaching strong Now centuries carry on his song Death could not stop The fire he gave His words still march Beyond the grave Hammer of heretics Anthony's voice still splits the sky Truth never bends, truth never dies Preach, strike, destroy When lies rise up and faith is torn Anthony is reborn Hammer of heretics Sword of scripture, saint of flame Christendom fights in his name Christ, mass, victory From padua to eternity Saint anthony reigns in me Sancte antoni Doctor evangelicus Ora pro nobis Amen
