Lyric

Words decided from a higher place

Claiming voices they never hear

Clean slogans without a pulse

No warmth of blood, no weight of fear

Righteousness is polished far away

Applause keeps it bright and pure

No faces reflected in the glass

“For everyone” stamped and assured

Blueprints drawn on silent desks

Borders where the people stand

The ones never called by name

Fade away into the plan

Who speaks

Who stays silent

Who gets called progress

Who gets left behind

Who is this flag raised for

Who defined its worth

You call it universal

But it fits too well for some

Did you ask the ones with no voice

Did you hear their consent

Don’t dress control in sacred words

Before you call it right

Good intentions aren’t questioned

That’s why they cut the deepest

Doubt itself becomes a crime

And asking marks you as the enemy

Cultures pressed into one shape

Pain reduced to a chart

Point and say “they’re behind”

Then erase them in the name of start

The world is not one frame

The measure is not one scale

But the answer was decided

Before the question was raised

Who is this flag raised for

Who defined its worth

You call it universal

But it fits too well for some

Don’t steal the right to question

Don’t rule in virtue’s name

Before you preach salvation

Show me who it saves

You say you guide

You say you save

Then narrow every path to one

Is this the future you promised

Or just control refined

Who is this flag raised for

Who defined its worth

If you speak of universals

Start by doubting first

We do not deny the world

We refuse to kneel and nod

Before you crown your justice

Answer who made you god
