[Intro - Curtain Lifts] The curtain lifts, the cameras flash A sacred stage, a subtle clash [Verse 1 - Cultural Moment as Mirror] White smoke rises, a name declared, The faithful watched, the whole world stared. A voice of peace, a vow to heal But elsewhere spun a darker wheel. [Verse 2 - Language Distorted] You bend the word to suit your plan, Then build a wall with holy hands. You twist the light to match your shade Then call it love, though truth’s betrayed. [Pre - Moral Drift Detected] The compass spins beneath our feet, While silence feeds deceit’s repeat. [Chorus - Truth Betrayed] They quote the Book, then build a wall, Say “love thy neighbor”, then let them fall. What once was clear now shifts and sways, The truth gets lost in darker grays. [Verse 3 - Policy Abstracted Into Slogan] A stranger weeps across the land, No law, no flag, no holy brand. A child behind a chain-link fence, And mercy traded for pretense. [Pre - Moral Drift Detected] The compass spins beneath our feet, While silence feeds deceit’s repeat. [Bridge - Bitter Roots] When silence reigns, the lies take root, The quiet feeds a poisoned fruit. [Verse 4 - Witness & Reckoning] I strain to hear above the shame, Where silence shields the ones who blame. And still I ask, no stone to throw, Why conscience fades, and shadows grow. [Chorus - Truth Betrayed] They quote the Book, then build a wall, Say “love thy neighbor”, then let them fall. What once was clear now shifts and sways, The truth gets lost in darker grays. [Outro - Truth Bent Beyond Recognition] The mirror shifts, the shape distorts, What once was light now bends in courts.
