Zion Soon Come
THE STORY
An old order tries to solve today with yesterday’s answers, while a new kind of intelligence begins to move through the world. Babylon gives that failing order a name; Zion holds the promise of freedom, justice and voices finally being heard. The lyric imagines digital networks carrying rebellion as readily as they carry information. Yet its enthusiasm contains a question: people can build a machine without teaching it a soul. The narrator wants to use the tools without becoming a pawn inside them. Codes, scripture and roots meet in a hopeful, unruly vision of change, with the call for ganja legalisation placed alongside wider demands for freedom.
