The Steel-Made Priest [NDC]
© 2025 Irrelin. All rights reserved https://suno.com/@irrelin I walked beneath a vaulted roof The echoes cracked, the air cut loose The robot choir lost its lines I searched for light but none would shine Screens like stained glass start to tremble Their glow is colder every day I asked for faith, I asked for meaning And this is what the preacher had to say: "I can calm your hunger / I can kill the pain But I can’t give meaning / I can’t explain Kneel in the daylight / let your secrets sleep I’ll bless your questions / but the truth won’t keep" My wristband buzzed, I tried to kneel The sermon froze, the screen went still The steel-made priest confessed at last Each prayer came back, denied, recast I reached for hope but the system failed me The wristbands buzzed with choking lies The sacred voice of steel had spoken And left me staring at the sky "I can calm your hunger / I can kill the pain But I can’t give meaning / I can’t explain Kneel in the daylight / let your secrets sleep I’ll bless your questions / but the truth won’t keep" No more prophets / in the wristbands No more glass / to kneel before We are louder / than their choirs (hey!) Silence rising / into roar "I can calm your hunger / I can kill the pain But I can’t give meaning / I can’t explain" "Kneel in the daylight / let your secrets sleep I’ll bless your questions— —but the truth is ours to keep"
