Sirens and Candles
Verse 1 — Ukraine
Years on, the bells are ringing from NATO halls to the UN floor, Vigils bloom across Europe, a silence heavy with the roar, EU hands in Kyiv’s cold, a promise made in winter’s prose, Britain’s sanction hammer falls on energy steel, while peace stays froze.

Chorus
Oh, the world keeps turning under sirens and candles, From war‑torn roads to royal gates of scandal, Power meets its limits, truth steps into light, Hold the line, hold the light, through the longest night.
Verse 2 — Mexico
In Tapalpa’s pines the mountain whispered, El Mencho’s run was done, The army closed the canyon, the cartel lit the highways as they spun, Uniforms fell with bystanders when the roadblocks took the land, Flights went dark from shore to highlands, Cup dreams paused in Guadalajara’s hands.

Verse 3 — U.S. and Iran
Talks ran aground with Tehran as steel wings crowded dust and heat, Briefings in Washington before the grand address found steady beats, Tehran called distant thunder a mirage, said ready for war or for peace, And somewhere maps said “limited,” while wider fears refused to cease.

Verse 4 — Supreme Court and Tariffs
The high court read the letters plain and trimmed a reach too wide, Said emergency powers can’t tax the world by one man’s stride, He scolded his own choices, grabbed an older trade‑law key, Now refunds haunt the corridors while fresh ink stains the sea.

Verse 5 — Former Prince Andrew
A duke without a title met the knock upon his name‑day door, Suspected public breaches from the gilded days he toured, Emails traced a shadow, Asia briefings, Afghan schemes, The King bowed to the law of land; the line now tests its seams.

Verse 6 — Peter Mandelson
An envoy from another era faced the dawn in London’s gray, Accused of market whispers while the banks were giving way, Arrested, bailed, he’d left the Lords, the embassy long gone, Old ties to a fallen financier still threading present on.

Chorus
Oh, the world keeps turning under sirens and candles, From war‑torn roads to royal gates of scandal, Power meets its limits, truth steps into light, Hold the line, hold the light, through the longest night.
Final Chorus and Outro
Hold the line, hold the light, let the reckonings rise, From Kyiv’s squares to desert skies, From burned‑out roads to palace sighs, Raise your voice, make it right—through the longest night, Hold the line, hold the light—we will not close our eyes.
