Strangers to the Sacred - Trust Was the First Casualty

Lyrics The moment the order reached the ground Something fragile disappeared. Not in noise, not in chaos, But quietly, like it was never here. They didn’t need to understand our weapons To know what they now meant. The distance between us changed its nature The second intent was sent. No warning carried the weight it should, No gesture softened the act. Every word we spoke afterward Arrived already cracked. We didn’t come as conquerors, That’s what we tell ourselves. But authority leaves a shadow That language can’t dispel. Their eyes no longer searched for meaning, Only measured what we were. Every movement felt defensive, Every silence more severe. The ground remembered where we stood, The air held what we’d done. And nothing we said afterward Sounded like it came from equals. We arrived with questions, not answers, And left instructions in the dust. Whatever balance once existed Collapsed under enforced trust. They don’t speak to us the same way now, Not with fear, not with rage. But with the certainty that dialogue Belongs to an earlier age. No treaty survives this moment, No explanation repairs the seam. The damage isn’t what was broken— It’s what will never be. Trust was the first casualty, Long before the violence spread. Before the conflict had a name, Something vital was already dead. We can justify the action, Frame it as controlled restraint. But nothing restores equality Once power enters the exchange. Now every step feels watched, Every pause feels wrong. Because the moment we chose to act, The space between us was gone. Trust was the first casualty, And it won’t be the last. But it’s the one we’ll never reclaim, No matter how far we advance.
