Siren in the Snow
Verse 1 — Gaza
In a hush of sand and stone, they brought Ran Gvili home, From a graveyard’s broken whisper to a flag and final road. Israel says the captives’ chapter closes after years untold, Ceasefire doors are creaking, Rafah set to open wide. Hamas returned the living and the fallen to the tide, Now an outside force is promised, guns to be undone, A board with Trump atop it shaping what might come.

Chorus
We’re living on the fault line, wired to the roar, Snow and steel and border doors, a fragile power core. We ride the storm, we hold the flame, Turn the night into a question, shout your name.
Verse 2 — Minneapolis
On a frozen avenue, the chants cut winter air, A President warns with an ancient law, troops on standby stare. Justice thundered at the podium, pointing fingers, naming names, City halls push back in court, preparing for the claims. They say that book is rarely opened, only when the streets ignite, The governor’s word once called it; now the state is set to fight.

Chorus
We’re living on the fault line, wired to the roar, Snow and steel and border doors, a fragile power core. We ride the storm, we hold the flame, Turn the night into a question, shout your name.
Verse 3 — Winter Storm
Cold came like a freight train, white knuckles on the rails, Lives lost on quiet sidewalks, power lines like broken veils. Airports swallowed by the silence, runways buried, traffic bled, Parks turned peril in an instant, sleds became a siren’s thread. Classrooms emptied into echoes, lessons waiting out the freeze, City hearts beat slow and heavy, praying warmth back through the trees.

Verse 4 — Ukraine
Across the darkened steppe, an emergency declared, Kyiv’s breath a cloud of iron, radiators cold and scared. The mayor says the city shivers like it never has before, The minister swears no plant was spared, each turbine hit in war. The UN counts a midnight storm of wings and fire and pain, Neighbors share their stoves and lights and promises again.

Chorus
We’re living on the fault line, wired to the roar, Snow and steel and border doors, a fragile power core. We ride the storm, we hold the flame, Turn the night into a question, shout your name.
Verse 5 — India–EU Trade
Across two distant harbors, pens carved open seas, They called it the mother of all deals, and bent the tariff trees. Cars roll in with lighter tolls, looms spin brighter threads, Textiles, gems, and chemicals, new markets raising heads. The fields stay fenced for farmers, dairy kept from foreign hands, While far across the ocean, a superpower grinds and brands.

Verse 6 — Vaccines Debate
At a table built of science, a chair broke with a line: Maybe shots for polio, for measles, should be left to choice and time. Says the world is not the same now, cleaner streets and different stakes, But the room divides in lightning—what risk is worth the breaks?

Bridge
Turn up the radio, let the headlines bleed, Turn up the amplifiers, feed the need. Through the static and the storm, We hammer hope into a form.
Final Chorus and Outro
We’re living on the fault line, wired to the roar, Snow and steel and border doors, a fragile power core. We ride the storm, we hold the flame, Turn the night into a question, shout your name— Raise it higher, break the chain, Fill the sky and start the rain. Let the siren shake the snow, Let the final chorus blow— We won’t go quiet. We won’t go quiet. Let the dawn decide it.
