The Meek Shall Inherit
Lyrics
The sun bends low, its burn slow
The roots grow deep where the rivers flow
A kingdom’s risin’ where the small seeds sow
No gold, no throne, just love we’ve grown
The meek shall inherit the earth
No crowns, no pearls, no worth
The meek shall inherit the earth
With peace reborn from dirt
The mighty shout, the towers sway
But winds will sweep their pride away
The humble dance in the light of day
No war, no fight, just hearts alight
The meek shall inherit the earth
No crowns, no pearls, no worth
The meek shall inherit the earth
With peace reborn from dirt
…
The meek shall inherit the earth
No crowns, no pearls, no worth
The meek shall inherit the earth
With peace reborn from dirt
Thoughts About This Song…
The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth rises like dawn over the ruins, a vision of the world after Empire’s collapse — the powerful have fallen, and the earth belongs again to those who nurture it. What was scorched in “Requiem for Babylon” now yields new life. The world is rebuilt not through conquest but cultivation, and Nature reclaims what pride had built.
This is the great inversion of sacred justice: strength becomes gentleness, and humility becomes inheritance. It’s the turning of the tide — the moment the story moves from apocalypse to redemption. The meek inherit not as conquerors but as caretakers, planting peace in the ashes. The rejoicing reggae sound of the song celebrates the anticipated fulfillment of divine promise — when the earth belongs again to those who listen.
Angel W – The Meek Shall Inherit is super fun! One of my favorite verses in the Bible. It’s counterintuitive and counter-cultural to say that we should be meek. But it’s beautiful to have power under control!
