From the recording Ballast
Lyrics
When scripture was written by men
Who claimed the memories of god
Whose tongues were holy
Whose bodies were less so
And they spoke with one voice that said
The meek will inherit the earth
When titans breastfed on oil
And manifest destiny
Ran spikes of iron through the hearts
Of their fellow man
And built a world from the engine
Of their pulsing valor
That sought to mechanize nature
Did they ask themselves
Is it a promise or a warning?
The meek will inherit the earth
God pity the meek
God pity the meek
Turning the other cheek
I see ashes
I see ashes
I see ashes
The meek will inherit the earth
A promise or a warning
A promise or a warning
God pity the meek
God pity the meek
