“All nations were deceived…” — Revelation 18:23

Lyrics:
I didn’t mean to see it
Didn’t mean to go that far
Just followed a few questions
Past the edges of the dark

Now every simple answer
Feels heavier than it should
I was fine inside the story
Till I understood

Something ancient in the rhythm
Something older than the crowns
I hear it breathing through the marble
Under every town

I saw behind the curtain
Wish I’d never looked inside
Once you taste that knowledge
There’s nowhere left to hide
That fruit was never sweet
It was fire dressed in skin
Now my soul is wide awake
And I can’t go back again

Sometimes I wish I’d never woken
There was mercy in the blur
Now every screen is propaganda
Every headline is a war

Signal dressed as certainty
Voices built to bend
Truth gets run through engines
Till it fits their trends

Checkered floors and coded handshakes
Idols carved into stone
Every fallen being
Still demands their throne

I saw behind the curtain
Wish I’d never looked inside
Once you taste that knowledge
There’s nowhere left to hide
The fruit was never sweet
It was lightning in my hand
Now I see the masquerade
And I finally understand

The tower never vanished
Just traded brick for glass
Ashes in the bloodstream
History in a mask

Felt like Neo in the doorway
When the code began to bend
Blue skies were just a program
And I chose the truth instead

Prophets in the pixels
Feeding on the fear
Manufactured certainty
Broadcast crystal clear

I saw behind the curtain
Watched the halos bend
Heaven isn’t distant
It’s where the wars begin
The fruit was never sweet
It was lightning in my hand
Now I see the masquerade
And I finally understand

Now I see the masquerade
And I finally understand

I finally understand.

I wish I didn't understand.


"For thy merchants were the great men of the earth;
for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."
Revelation 18:23
