Thats what the speaker says if you stand near him.
To me, that proofs, that the traveler is evil and forces the speaker to say the things he says.
What do you think?

If you watch some of the vidocs they let on that the traveler is what actually houses the darkness and is what brought it to us in the first place since crow (a long since deleted character yah was in the original story) would take you to an underground group of guardians who we're fighting the traveler and also it is believed that the traveler is capable of controlling minds and in such brainwashing the speaker which is why we never see his face even though we see everyone else's face. This is just a theory using what we know from the current game and content; along with this it is also beloved that the black garden is actually inside the traveler which would explain how the hive got a piece of him in the first place

Or that the speaker is is evil, and cultivating a religion of his own
