The Trick
We stopped calling demons demons started calling them disease
We stopped calling heathens heathens, started respecting beliefs
Higher knowledge for lower logos, Lesser fear surrendered freedom
We understood without knowing, then we learned, now we can’t beat 'em
That’s the trick of the horsemen, innit, gaining strength when we lose wisdom
Farther from destruction in our minds, sanitized, how could y’all see them
Coming?
Every solution provided by the science guy reminds me
All they do is Adam’s job, naming things we knew well blindly
Explaining things they don’t comprehend, in terms ambiguously
Sounding clinical and safe, like they know what makes it all tick.
That’s the trick.
