Lyrics
Title: The digital control grid
Verse 1
Everybody's fightin' over colors and names,
Pointin' fingers, playin' old familiar games.
Left and right keep drawin' battle lines,
While another hand is workin' overtime.
Every headline pulls another way,
Keeps our eyes from what they're buildin' every day.
Quiet as a thief beneath the smoke,
They're buildin' the wheel while we're watchin' the spokes.
Pre-Chorus
The loudest noise ain't always where the danger grows...
Sometimes it whispers while nobody knows.
Chorus
Don't get lost in all the isms,
They can hide a deeper plan.
Look beyond the daily drama,
See what's happenin' to man.
One more camera... one more screen...
One more reason to comply.
Freedom disappears like morning mist,
Before you realize goodbye.
Don't stare at every spoke that's spinning...
Keep your eyes upon the wheel.
Verse 2
Bigger servers hummin' through the night,
Brighter cities filled with colder light.
Every click becomes another file,
Every mile gets measured all the while.
Trade a little freedom for convenience every day,
One more promise that will make the fears all fade.
It's always sold as progress and relief...
Till comfort slowly chains belief.
Pre-Chorus
The finest cage is built with things
That everybody wants...
Chorus
Don't get lost in all the isms,
They can hide a deeper plan.
Look beyond the daily drama,
See what's happenin' to man.
One more camera... one more screen...
One more reason to comply.
Freedom disappears like morning mist,
Before you realize goodbye.
Don't stare at every spoke that's spinning...
Keep your eyes upon the wheel.
Bridge
The serpent never shouts his name,
He smiles and says, "I'm here to help."
An angel dressed in borrowed light,
Selling heaven made by human hands.
The Book said long ago it'd come,
Not with horns but polished speech.
Trading truth for counterfeit,
Till hearts forget what can't be reached.
Instrumental Break
(Blues guitar with a haunting organ underneath.)
Final Chorus
Don't get lost in all the isms,
Every kingdom fades away.
Only one King still stands forever,
Yesterday, now, and always.
Hold on tightly to the Shepherd,
When the wolves wear wool instead.
Test every spirit, guard your heart,
Believe what Jesus said.
Don't fear the darkness all around you...
Walk beside the Living Light.
The spokes will keep on turning...
But the Wheel reveals the fight.
Outro
The door is standin' open...
Choose who's welcome in your home.
Truth still knocks with nail-scarred hands...
You don't have to walk alone.
Keep your lamp trimmed bright and burning...
Stand firm until the dawn.
The kingdoms of this world will fade...
But His Kingdom marches on.
