WE WON'T BOW

[Verse 1]
He said, “upgrade,” from a stone pulpit in the old world
Like God booked the keynote and the whole room got sold
Brain chips, new gospel, same old snake in a new coat
“Get left behind” — that’s how they make the lie sound spoke
They point at Daniel, twist iron into their own pitch
Clay don’t weld to metal, no matter how slick it is
Don’t call a leash a blessing just because it lights up
Don’t call a cage a future when the door won’t open up
[Chorus]
But if not, we won’t bow
If the mask comes down, we know how
You can dress it in a miracle, still smell the smoke
We’re not for sale, we don’t take the oath
But if not, we won’t bend
No chip, no crown, no silent end
They can call it peace, call it progress, call it truth
We see the hand behind the curtain move
[Verse 2]
“Join it if you can’t beat it” — that’s the sales pitch
Build a machine to build a machine, then call it “hope” quick
Not healing, not mercy, not a patch for the broken
A species rewrite, and the fine print’s hidden
Neural dust in the bloodstream, DARPA on the line
Phase one is a surgery, phase two is comply
Phase three go public, everybody in the funnel
Now freedom got a login and a brain got a tunnel
They say, “We’re fixing rage,” but who writes the code?
Who names the sane, who decides who gets controlled?
If the system gets to pick what a human means
Then the man who says no is the one they call extreme
[Chorus]
But if not, we won’t bow
If the mask comes down, we know how
You can dress it in a miracle, still smell the smoke
We’re not for sale, we don’t take the oath
But if not, we won’t bend
No chip, no crown, no silent end
They can call it peace, call it progress, call it truth
We see the hand behind the curtain move
[Verse 3]
First inversion: secret knowledge for the top floor
Second: you are god, so you don’t need a Lord
Third: let Rome hold the keys to your peace
Fourth: take the chip, it’ll finally set you free
That’s pharmakeia in a white coat grin
Deception with a clipboard, poison dressed as skin
Revelation said the nations got played
And we’re not here to be shaped by the latest cage
We are not our own, that part’s already settled
This body’s a temple, not a port for their metal
Daniel saw the iron, John saw the fall
Stone cut without hands is coming for it all
[Bridge]
Let them call us backward, call us hard to move
We’ve heard that song, we know what it’s meant to do
Wilderness people, stubborn in the dust
Still saying no when the whole machine says “trust”
[Final Chorus]
But if not, we won’t bow
If the mask comes down, we know how
You can dress it in a miracle, still smell the smoke
We’re not for sale, we don’t take the oath
But if not, we won’t bend
No chip, no crown, no silent end
Revelation fourteen in the air tonight
Keep the faith, keep the command, keep your mind
