[Spoken-word intro | Dub-style ambience | Warm tape echo | Airy pads | Female vocals | Mystical reggae atmosphere | Spacious and meditative] How come you call yourselves wise while the truth stands right before your eyes? How you call this holy, when mercy’s been exiled and justice denied? ⸻ 🎵 VERSE 1 [Conscious reggae-rap flow | Laid-back one-drop reggae beat | Deep rounded bassline | Light hip-hop kick | Offbeat skank guitar | Subtle dub delay | Prophetic and rhythmic] Yo, I saw smoke in your courts while people seeking Jah’s face Saw blood in the basin where prayer should’ve taken place. Y’all built an altar to fear, dressed it up as tradition, But I was sent to expose this corrupted religion. You think that Jah wants blood? That’s the lie you defend, But mercy not blood is what my Father said. Till compassion replaces the violence you do, The wrath of my Father Jah will not cease from you. I came to abolish sacrifices — bring the Kingdom through, But the wrath you blame on God is the harm done by you. You quote the scrolls but ignore what they teach — Your hands spill blood while you stand there and preach. You call it worship, but the prophets called it sin, You honor God with your lips but your hearts ain’t in. I came to break chains, not polish your system, To silence the violence — you refuse to listen. Your temple’s become a mirror of Rome, A palace of death where the Presence once shone. ⸻ 🎵 PRE-CHORUS [Melodic rap cadence | Reggae groove strips back | Bass and skank guitar only | Rising vocal melody | Dub riser | Tension-building] Y’all think the Most High pleased with the lambs you slay? I’m here to tell you that He lookin’ the other way. Mercy was the message from Hosea to today, But you traded compassion for a pagan idol’s way. [Full reggae chorus | Bigger harmonies | Horn section swell | Choir-style backing vocals | Joyful but authoritative] No more blood — the Kingdom’s in your sight, No more blood — no more smoke rising into the night. No more blood — If you knew the heart of the God you claim, You’d put down the knife, step out of the flame. No more blood — go and learn what mercy means. No more blood — take away all these sinful things. No more blood — If you knew the heart of the God you claim, You’d put down the knife, step out of the flame. [Driving reggae-rap verse | Slightly darker dub tone | Rolling bass | Syncopated percussion | Emotional but restrained] Look — Isaiah warned you, Amos cried loud, Hosea exposed you in front of the whole crowd. widows starved in the alleys unseen. You decorated the priests with scarlet and gold, But buried compassion in rituals old. You honor the prophets now they’re long dead, But kill their message every word they said. I’m here to fulfill what the scrolls foretold — A new heart of flesh, not your altars of old. Your temple’s a business, your worship a trade, You taxed the poor with the laws you made. [Dub breakdown | Beat drops to bass & echo | Heavy sub-bass | Vocal delay throws | Sparse percussion | Prophetic intensity] Listen — You’ve turned My Father’s house to a market of graves, Where the cries of the innocent echo like slaves. This ain’t devotion — it’s a cycle of death, A system of violence robbing the innocent of breath. I came to end it. I came to restore. You want the Kingdom? stands at your door. [Full reggae chorus | Bigger harmonies | Horn section swell | Choir-style backing vocals | Joyful but authoritative] No more blood — the Kingdom’s in your sight, No more blood — no more smoke rising into the night. No more blood — If you knew the heart of the God you claim, You’d put down the knife, step out of the flame. No more blood — go and learn what mercy means. No more blood — take away all these sinful things. No more blood — If you knew the heart of the God you claim, You’d put down the knife, step out of the flame.
