Psalm 52 The Evergreen

An 80s Dark New Wave song inspired by Psalm 52 and created by Suno Lyrics: (Verse 1) You boast in the ruins, you brag of your might, Spinning your webs in the glare of the light. A tongue like a razor, a hand on the gold, Trading your soul for a story well-told. You love every falsehood, you scheme and you plot, Believing you've won what you never should've got. (Pre-Chorus) You think you’re untouchable, carving your name, Playing the world like a high-stakes game. Measuring worth by the size of your throne, Turning the hearts of the weary to stone. (Chorus) But I’m planted deep where the waters run clean, Like an evergreen olive, alive and unseen! I put all my trust in a love that remains, While the architects fall and ego disdains! Oh, justice will sweep through the noise and the pride, While the faithful take root and forever abide! (Verse 2) God will pull down what you built on a lie, Pluck out your roots as the winter winds sigh. The wise will look on as the paper towers fall, And whisper, "Look at the man who thought he ruled it all—" Who never made refuge a matter of grace, But hid behind wealth in an empty place. (Pre-Chorus) You think you’re untouchable, carving your name, Playing the world like a high-stakes game. Measuring worth by the size of your throne, Turning the hearts of the weary to stone. (Chorus) But I’m planted deep where the waters run clean, Like an evergreen olive, alive and unseen! I put all my trust in a love that remains, While the architects fall and ego disdains! Oh, justice will sweep through the noise and the pride, While the faithful take root and forever abide! (Bridge) Loud is the empire built out of deceit! Quiet the peace where the honest souls meet! The house of the proud is a house made of sand, Swept in the wind across a shifting land! (Chorus) But I’m planted deep where the waters run clean, Like an evergreen olive, alive and unseen! I put all my trust in a love that remains, While the architects fall and ego disdains! Oh, justice will sweep through the noise and the pride, While the faithful take root and forever abide! (Outro) Forever abide... Rooted in grace. No throne outlasts the truth. (Final resonant synth chord fades to silence)
