The Last Reservoir

Lyrics

Verse 1 They bought the rivers, bought the wells, Mapped the aquifers nobody tells, Counted every drop beneath the ground, Turned living water into numbers on a screen somehow. They fenced the valleys, marked the lines, Measured the future one drought at a time, Built their towers from fear and gold, Certain they could own tomorrow if they owned enough to hold. Pre-Chorus But the desert keeps its secrets, And the wind ignores a crown, The hand that made the oceans Can still turn kingdoms upside down. Chorus Store up the grain, lock up the rain, Write your name across the plain, But life was never yours to keep, The wells run deep beyond your reach. The rich man counts, the poor man prays, Both will meet the end of days, For every reservoir and throne Belongs to God alone. Verse 2 A widow held a jar of oil, A shepherd walked through dust and toil, No vaults of silver, no guarded gate, Yet heaven moved through what the world called small and late. Meanwhile merchants crossed the sea, Trading futures in necessity, Selling fear in polished speech, While truth stood waiting just beyond their reach. Bridge Babel climbed, Babylon shined, Empires rose and called it divine, Solomon’s gold weighed six-six-six, And still the grave would not be tricked. The Beast says, “Buy and sell through me,” The Lamb says, “Come and drink for free,” One builds walls around the spring, The other makes the desert sing. Final Chorus Store up the grain, lock up the rain, Claim the mountains in your name, Yet every breath and every stream Flows from a higher King. The jars stay full, the oil still flows, The faithful learn what heaven knows: The world may hoard what it can own, But life belongs to God alone. Outro The brook ran dry. The promise stayed. The towers fell. The Kingdom remained.
