Tekst Utworu

Funny thing about empires
They never introduce themselves as empires
They say they're progress
Security
Convenience
A better tomorrow
And before you know it
You've traded your name for a number
Your neighbors for an algorithm
Your soul for a subscription
I watched a city
Build a church
Out of credit cards
And cameras
I witnessed the politician
Sell salvation
And pimp heaven
To the highest bidder
Funny
Nobody noticed
The altar
Had become
A checkout line
We all kept consuming
Like
That's just how
Our story would end
In West By God I met a wild Appalachian heretic
Said she had nothing left to lose
Still split her bread into four directions
Said love decides, we never choose
Then I met a displaced refugee seeking asylum
Still carrying yesterday's war
He held a door for perfect strangers
Like he'd never seen a border before
Started wondering
Maybe heaven never needed passports
Maybe we've been drawing lines
That God never bothered drawing
Funny how the loudest kingdoms
Always seem the most afraid
Truth never needed microphones
Only somebody brave
We come from different stories
Different scars
Different names
But every soul that chose another
Still carries exactly
The same flame
I watched New Babylon keep dancing
While another neighborhood disappeared
The screens kept selling perfect futures
Nobody mentioned fear
Everybody wanted saving
Nobody wanted change
Everybody wanted justice
Long as somebody else took aim
Funny thing
The Beast never asks you
To become evil
Just
Comfortable
Maybe that's the mark
Not something on your forehead
Maybe it's forgetting
Someone else's suffering
Different languages
Different prayers
Different ways to carry pain
But every heart that kept on serving
Burned with exactly
The same flame
History writes about kings
Heaven
Keeps talking about servants
History remembers monuments
Children remember kindness
History celebrates victories
Love celebrates sacrifice
Maybe that's why
Every empire eventually becomes archaeology
But compassion
Keeps getting reincarnated
So if tomorrow comes
And nobody remembers our names
Good
Maybe they'll remember
The hungry kid that got fed
The lonely woman somebody noticed
The addict somebody refused to abandon
The village that learned to stand
Maybe
That's what winning always looked like
