I didn't come with fire in my hands I came with laws carved into sand They called me mercy, called me peace A softer blade, a quieter beast I broke the chains they couldn't see Told every slave they could be free But freedom tastes like something owed When I decide the road you're on I didn't burn your homes to dust I gave you something you could trust A flag, a future, a common tongue– Just sign your name and say we're one I build the cage with open doors Call it unity, call it order Kneel if you want, I won't demand– Just stand inside what I command I don't need fear, I don't need flame I conquer hearts before your land I give you peace, I give you law– And take your world with open hands I let you keep your gods and crowns Your broken words, your sacred sounds I don't erase, I reorganize Put borders where your future dies They sing my name like I'm a cure The first to rule and still seem pure But every gift I leave behind Still needs my shadow to survive I never said I was your king I just made sure you needed me You call it choice, I call it fate A kinder form of domination I build the cage with open doors Call it unity, call it order Kneel if you want, I won't demand– Just stand inside what I command I don't need fear, I don't need flame I conquer hearts before your land I give you peace, I give you law– And take your world with open hands Tell me– Is it conquest If they thank you? Is it chains If they fit just right? I didn't rule by breaking bones I ruled by fixing broken lives I build the cage with open doors Paint it gold, call it order History writes my name in light– The first who learned to rule them right No blood-soaked throne, no guilty crown Just silent borders closing in I don't destroy, I reorganize– And that's how empires learn to win Every empire starts this way– With a promise That feels clean
