Gates Open, Lights Dim

Verse 1 (Rafah)

Rafah gates crack open after long dark seasons, Ceasefire breathing, thin as a paper seam. Once seized and shuttered, now under foreign eyes, A trickle of patients with family at their side. Egypt’s wide network stands ready like a choir, But the first notes faltered, choked by missing wires. Critics shout for answers through the static and the sand, Hope walks slow, rationed at the border’s hand.

Chorus

Turn it up, let the world feel the drums, Where the gates creak wide and the cold wind hums. Hold the line, keep the faith, sing it loud, sing it true, We’re the roar in the night breaking bad news in two. Raise the light, keep the names, don’t you dare go numb— Heart like a hammer, hope like a drum.


Verse 2 (Ukraine talks)

Abu Dhabi whispers of a map with missing pieces, Another round of handshakes, smoke, and teases. Moscow wants the land where hearts still stand, While a bus of miners fell to a steel-winged hand. A U.S. voice called the sit-down “productive,” But streets count losses more than any directive. Drones, bombs, missiles like a midnight tide, Peace keeps talking while sirens reply.

Verse 3 (Epstein files)

A vault unlatches, a paper avalanche, Millions on millions, the past left blanch. A top voice says no new charges rise, That parties alone don’t make a crime. But names bled through the blacked-out lines, Survivors exposed in the flash of headlines. From London to Bratislava came the fall of suits, Mandelson, Lajčák—reputations uproot.

Chorus

Turn it up, let the world feel the drums, Where the gates creak wide and the cold wind hums. Hold the line, keep the faith, sing it loud, sing it true, We’re the roar in the night breaking bad news in two. Raise the light, keep the names, don’t you dare go numb— Heart like a hammer, hope like a drum.


Verse 4 (Catherine O’Hara)

A queen of the odd and the perfectly timed, From SCTV sparks to Moira’s wild shine. Home Alone winters, Beetlejuice nights, She taught us to laugh at the edge of the fright. A mirror-heart secret she learned late in life, Still she danced through the weird with a graceful knife. Culkin and Levy lit candles in the rain, The stage bows low to her fearless refrain.

Verse 5 (Kennedy Center)

He stamped his name on the marble and glass, Artists pulled back, let the spotlight pass. Now the hall goes dark for a sweeping redo, He calls it broken, says closing’s the move. Board still waiting, but the chair holds the pen, Staff saw the plan on a post, not a mem. Curtains in storage, echoes in the hall, Politics louder than the curtain call.

Chorus

Turn it up, let the world feel the drums, Where the gates creak wide and the cold wind hums. Hold the line, keep the faith, sing it loud, sing it true, We’re the roar in the night breaking bad news in two. Raise the light, keep the names, don’t you dare go numb— Heart like a hammer, hope like a drum.


Verse 6 (Shutdown)

Deadline missed and the lights half-dim, A paywall thrown on the public’s limb. Senate sends a bundle with a bridge and a patch, House steps in to swing the latch. Immigration battles knot the thread, Speaker swears the gray will turn to red. Reports postponed, plans on ice, Workers wait while they roll the dice.

Final Chorus and Outro

Turn it up, let the world feel the drums, Where the gates creak wide and the cold wind hums. Hold the line, keep the faith, sing it loud, sing it true, We’re the roar in the night breaking bad news in two. Open the gates—wider! Ground the drones—quieter! Seal the files—tighter! Light the stage—brighter! Pay the people—sooner! Say her name—louder! Guitars to the border, kick drum to the dome, Spotlight on truth, and we’re carrying it home. When the night turns thin and the headlines come, We are the thunder—heart like a drum.
