The Shepherds Are Stupid (Jeremiah 10:17-22)

This AI Heavy Metal song was inspired by Jeremiah 10:17-22. [Intro] Pack your bags… Daughter of the siege… The ground is shaking… [Verse 1] Gather your treasures from the dust of the land Smoke on the skyline, blood on our hands Voices are crying from broken stone walls No one is coming when Babylon calls Thrown like a stone from the hand of the Lord Scattered and crushed by the weight of the sword The tents are torn open, the cords ripped away Children are gone in the ashes and flame [Pre-Chorus] And I said— “Woe is me… this wound runs deep” But I know now There’s no escape from what we’ve sown [Chorus] The shepherds are stupid! They never sought the Lord! Now the flock is scattered Broken by the sword! Hear the thunder coming! The north begins to rise! A land once filled with glory Now buried under fire and lies! [Verse 2] A cry from the north rolls over the hills Hooves in the distance, the silence now kills Cities abandoned to jackals and dust Kings turned to shadows, empires to rust The wind carries mourning through valleys of graves The strong and the mighty are nobody’s slaves The sky turns to iron, the earth shakes below The judgment is here and there’s nowhere to go [Pre-Chorus] And I cried— “My suffering burns beneath my skin” Still I know We forged the chains we’re dying in [Chorus] The shepherds are stupid! They never sought the Lord! Now the flock is scattered Broken by the sword! Hear the thunder coming! The north begins to rise! A land once filled with glory Now buried under fire and lies! [Breakdown] Tear down the walls Burn every throne We trusted in men Now we die alone Tents ripped open Families erased The sound of judgment Consumes this place [Bridge] The voice… The voice is getting closer now… I hear the earth trembling beneath it… FROM THE NORTH THEY COME! FROM THE NORTH THEY COME! [Final Chorus] The shepherds are stupid! Blind leaders of decay! Now the flock is scattered And carried far away! Hear the heavens roaring! The storm has filled the skies! Jerusalem lies shattered While the righteous mourn and cry! [Outro] A dwelling place for jackals… A wasteland of sorrow… The storm has arrived… I hope you enjoyed the song.
