Politics of the Samaritan

progressive post-hardcore, restless shifting accents with phrases pushing and dragging across the meter, immediate layered wide-but-unslick production, exposed clean guitar and chiming arpeggios opening into angular distorted riffs, octave melodies, heavy chords, intertwined soaring leads, tom-heavy drums, ringing guitars and unresolved feedback, raw vulnerable male tenor moving from speech-singing through strained belts to controlled shouts, relentless build into a huge exhausted half-time outro

[Intro] We keep asking: Who deserves my compassion? Who is one of us? Who believes correctly? Who voted correctly? Who lives correctly? Who started the fight? Who deserves what happened to them? [Chorus] Jesus tells a story about a bleeding man. And then He asks a different question: Will you be his neighbor? [Hook] Will you be his neighbor? Will you be his neighbor? [Verse] The Samaritan did not become less Samaritan when he crossed the road. He simply decided that mercy mattered more than the boundary between them. [Verse] So when the world tells you who to hate, when religion gives you an excuse to walk around them, when politics teaches you that the person across from you is your enemy— remember the road to Jericho. Someone is lying beside it. [Chorus] You can be right and keep walking. Or you can be the Samaritan. You can be right and keep walking. Or you can be the Samaritan. [Hook] Remember the road to Jericho. Remember the road to Jericho. Remember the road to Jericho. [Outro] Someone is lying beside it. You can be right and keep walking. Or you can be the Samaritan. “Go and do likewise.”
