[Verse 1]
葦のペンで粘土板に
楔の形の文字を刻んだ
牛は何匹 小麦はどのくらい
記憶を超えるための発明
[Pre-Chorus]
これが「楔形文字」
初期のシュメール人が生み出し
アッカド人やヒッタイトに広まった
オリエント最古にして最大の文字
[Chorus]
「目には目を 歯には歯を」
ハンムラビ法典の言葉
復讐を勧める法律じゃない
同価値の賠償が原則なんだ
[Verse 2]
石の柱に刻まれた
２８２条のルール
盗みをしたら 人をあやめたら
身分によって罰の重さが違う
[Bridge]
身分が高い人が被害者なら
罰は重くなる 不平等だけど
それは国家が初めて
裁きのルールを決めた証拠
[Outro]
楔形文字が
記憶を繋ぎ
ハンムラビ法典が
秩序を生んだ
メソポタミアの知恵
