Marching out of Babylon
Marching Out of Babylon: Unveiling the Hidden Power Struggles
Lyrics
I turn my back on your values and on your fears,
I reject your values and fears, turning away from them.
your false safety that is said to justify your ever present,
False sense of safety used to justify constant surveillance.
ever watchful, artificial eyes
Artificial eyes are always present and vigilant in the society.
You breed monsters that you never raise your hand to strike,
You create destructive forces but avoid taking responsibility.
then you blame the monsters for your systems of control
Blaming the destructive forces for the control systems in place.
But I see through you, you planned them all along
The speaker sees through the deception, realizing the plan behind the monsters.
You manifacture plagues and their cures to strengthen your power
Manufacturing problems and their solutions to consolidate power.
To rebuild your tower
Rebuilding the power structure and control.
But I will give you what I owe (don't let the daylight go to waste)
Promising to give back what is owed, expressing defiance against control.
the finger and the dust that I return (gather the crowd, depart in haste)
Rejecting the established order, urging others to join the departure.
as I am marching out of Babylon
Marching out of Babylon signifies leaving the oppressive system.
Never did you think that plauges might be the cure for you
Suggesting that the problems created may serve as a remedy.
There are systems of defence not by your hands
There are defenses beyond the control of the oppressive authority.
Tread on the chords and they will snap seven by seven,
Resistance will weaken the oppressive structure, leading to its collapse.
and your towers will fall one by one. Marching, marching, marching out of Babylon
Continued march out of Babylon, emphasizing the departure.
But I will give you what I owe (raise up the banners men of God)
Reiterating the intention to resist and defy the established order.
the finger and the dust that i return (cut all your bonds, go through the arch)
Symbolic gestures of defiance, breaking free from constraints.
as I am marching out of Babylon
Reaffirming the act of leaving the oppressive system.
Thy kingdom come
Invocation for a new kingdom, expressing a desire for change.
Thy will be done on the Earth as in Heaven,
Desire for a better world, aligning with divine will on Earth.
Thy kingdom come
Repetition of the desire for a new kingdom to come.
