[Verse 1] They built their kingdoms out of marble teeth Gold-veined lies underneath Every god wore perfect skin Till Momus laughed and let daylight in She sat barefoot on Olympus stairs Throwing sharp truths through the palace air “Why give heroes hearts so weak?” The thunder stopped when she dared speak [Pre-Chorus] Not cruel Not clean Just the crack inside the dream [Chorus] Momus Queen of the sideways grin Patron saint of calling bullshit in the wind She loved us enough to point at the stain While gods demanded worship instead of change Banished for honesty Exiled for clarity Still her voice survives in every comedy Every fool who says “This world could be better than this” [Verse 2] She mocked the armor of Ares’ pride Laughed at Zeus with nowhere to hide Asked why wisdom feared debate Why beauty always arrived too late And the halls grew cold with shame Immortals hate hearing their names So they cast her down below Where all rejected truths still go [Bridge] Sarcasm isn’t always kind But silence leaves us deaf and blind The mirror cuts before it heals That’s how a broken culture feels [Final Chorus] Momus Burning like a cigarette spark Drawing little mustaches across the dark Patron goddess of the open wound Of late-night comics and angry rooms If heaven fears a joke Then heaven deserves to choke And every empire trembling at the laugh Knows mockery survives long after power cracks
