Lyrics:
Risen out of clay, we crawled into the night
Forgot the Maker’s whisper, turned our backs on the light
We killed, we plundered, we burned the world alive
Enslaved our own brothers with ropes and with knives
Three kings were born beneath a poisoned star
One mission cut in bone: tear the venom from our hearts
Across the turning ages, through dust and through flame
They carried heaven’s lantern… but the serpent knew their names
Oh the serpent lies in wait, cold tongue against the ear
Whispering sweet damnation, feeding every fear
It could never swallow freedom, never stomach free will
So it twisted every promise till the light itself grew ill
They forced false gods on every trembling tongue
Three holy books were written, three songs already sung
But every truth lay bleeding where the serpent’s breath had blown
Hate and envy, greed and war, seeds that we have sown
We scorched the earth in fury, brother against brother slain
While the serpent smiled in silence, wearing every holy name
Oh the serpent lies in wait, cold tongue against the ear
Turning love to iron, turning mercy into fear
It could never bear our freedom, never stomach free will
So it drowned the world in scripture till the rivers ran with ill
But in the shadows waits a queen, crown of thorns and quiet flame
Mother of the wounded, caller of true names
She carries love like rivers, mercy like the rain
The kind only a woman, only a mother, dares to bring again
The serpent’s fear was blinding, so it bound her with a lie
Wove terror into stories, taught the world to fear her eyes
Never let her rule, never let her rise…
But the queen is stirring, brothers —
Can you hear her in the cries?
Risen out of clay… we still can find the way
When the queen awakens…
The serpent’s night will break.
Background:
The Torah, Bible, and Quran are the foundational scriptures of the Abrahamic faiths, linked by a shared historical and theological lineage.
The three texts exist in a chronological, progressive sequence. Each book references, respects, and builds upon the narrative of its predecessor.
All three texts revere the same monotheistic God and central patriarchs like Abraham, Noah, and Moses.
Today we still fight because:
Each faith tradition claims the ultimate, final revelation of God.
Belief that only one specific path leads to eternal salvation.
Major disagreements persist over the divinity of Jesus and the final prophet.
Weaponization of Scripture:
Selective Reading: Extremists pull violent passages out of context to justify aggression.
Identity Politics: Leaders exploit religious differences to create an "us versus them" mentality.
Dehumanization: Misinterpreting texts allows groups to view outsiders as spiritual enemies.
