The World Has Changed

To navigate the globe’s demise
Be enemies of compromise
Souls are never earned— they’re bought
“The world has changed. We have not.”

See our cathedrals and great stone walls
Our vast empire will never fall
Draw your straw, and cast your lot
“The world has changed. We have not.”

We promise not to throw the first stone
Neglecting the frequent sins of our own
We fear the kettle and become the pot
“The world has changed. We have not.”

“Progress” is a heretic’s word
Now, close your eyes to the cries you’ve heard
Leave those mongrels alone to rot
“The world has changed. We have not.”
