Choke Point Rock
Verse 1 — Strait of Hormuz
Steel on the water, red lines in the foam, A narrow throat of oceans slammed closed like a tomb. Guards on the headlands swear they’ll torch every hull, From a crowd to a trickle, the sealanes fall dull. A fleet lies waiting where desert meets salt, Gas giants go silent, the markets convulse. Big shippers turn back, anchors bite into sand, When the world’s hot blood can’t reach a thirsty land.

Chorus
World on edge with the valves turned tight, Engines gasp as day turns night. Wires scream, the tickers cry, When the oil stops flowing, the sparks fly. Hold the line while the war drums roll— We’re burning through the dark for a little control.
Verse 2 — War Powers Vote
Marble halls echo with a no and a shrug, A pen keeps flying while the missiles tug. “Keep it going,” says the boss from the stage, No leash on the thunder, just a promise of days. They swear old eras of patience are done, Sworn fists at the shadows of a far-off sun. Pages keep turning while the strike lights flare, And boots feel the weight of a leader’s glare.

Chorus
World on edge with the valves turned tight, Engines gasp as day turns night. Wires scream, the tickers cry, When the oil stops flowing, the sparks fly. Hold the line while the war drums roll— We’re burning through the dark for a little control.
Verse 3 — Price Shock
Black tides surge on a headline gale, Blue flames cost more with each frayed sail. Freight rings higher for the cargo of cold, As a desert gas kingdom puts the furnaces on hold. An offer of shields for the tankers at sea, A navy of shadows in a guarded decree. Prices blink lower, then lurch back in fright— Confidence flickers like a flare in the night.

Verse 4 — Markets Whiplash
Screens go crimson in the dawn at Seoul, Worst in long years, breakers hit their goal. Gulf floors reopen to a storm of red, While Wall Street claws back from the ledge instead. Gold hits a zenith, the cryptos roar, Fear and greed sprint through the same old door. The globe keeps spinning on a fevered bet, That the fuse burns short—but not quite yet.

Chorus
World on edge with the valves turned tight, Engines gasp as day turns night. Wires scream, the tickers cry, When the oil stops flowing, the sparks fly. Hold the line while the war drums roll— We’re burning through the dark for a little control.
Verse 5 — Europe Braces
Brussels calls a huddle in a sleepless room, Charts of energy, rails, and refugee routes. The price cuts deep from Delhi to the Danube’s bend, As allies debate where the laws should end. One capital condemns, a thunderclap reply, Trade threats rumble in a transatlantic sky. Pipelines, ports, and politics strain— A continent counts the cost of the flame.

Verse 6 — China’s Call
A dragon on the hotline says, “Stop this now,” Calls it unacceptable, draws a sovereign vow. A lifeline of crude through the narrow blue vein, Their lanterns depend on that perilous chain. They’ve buried old friends in a year of frost, Warn of the balance and the price of the lost. When the strait is a fuse and the world’s set to spark, Even mighty horizons fear the dark.

Final Chorus + Ending
World on edge with the valves turned tight, Engines gasp as day turns night. Wires scream, the tickers cry, When the oil stops flowing, the sparks fly. Hold the line while the war drums roll— We’re burning through the dark for a little control. Let the amps howl, let the carriers groan, Let the last chord hang like a satellite’s moan— When the choke point opens and the tides resume, We’ll ride that wave—or drown in the boom.
