Between Sirens and Statutes

Verse 1 — Tides in the Gulf

Carriers carve the horizon, jets paint the dawn, A deadline whispered, a fuse feeling long. Tehran vows thunder, drills with a northern friend, Geneva lights flicker, could this be the bend? Embassies thin their shadows, flights out run late, Steel in the straits, hope at the gate.

Chorus

Hold on, hold on, to the rail of the world, Between sirens and statutes, the flags still unfurl. Headlines crash like breakers, hearts learn to run, But if we lean into each other, we might see the sun.

Verse 2 — Fire in Jalisco

In pine-swept Tapalpa, a kingpin fell, An army’s breath ended a ruthless spell. Roads choked with smoke, towns held their breath, Buses turned back by the hands of death. Guadalajara whispered, doors barred and tight, Airlines climbed skyward, out of the night.

Chorus

Verse 3 — Midnight at a Gilded Gate

Before the moon lowered, a fence line was crossed, An armed, restless traveler, frightened and lost. Agents held the line while the waves rolled ashore, A family had called him missing days before. The boss was in Washington, the beach stayed still, The Bureau asks why; old ghosts haunt the hill.

Verse 4 — A Crown Under Question

At Sandringham’s hedges, history blinked, A royal unstitched where velvet once winked. Trade secrets rumored to flow where they shouldn’t, Emails like footprints saying what they wouldn’t. The King said let justice walk where it must, A family of survivors spoke: law over lust.

Chorus

Verse 5 — Marble and Tariffs

In a house of echoes, a gavel found voice, Emergency walls fell to a narrower choice. Some he appointed stood with the line, Others dissented, drew their design. He scorned the decision, wrote a new trade due, Importers knocked, asking cash to come through.

Verse 6 — Winter on the Steppe

Another hard marker, a new year of war, A market struck open, grief on the floor. Families evacuated from towns near the fire, While cities abroad raised candlelit choirs. In Kyiv, a mayor honored for coming again, Sanctions on captains ferrying sanctioned men.

Final Chorus and Outro

Hold on, hold on, to the rail of the world, Between sirens and statutes, the flags still unfurl. Let bells meet the thunder, let truth meet the gun, Let courts keep their courage, let mercy outrun. Raise up your lanterns, let the bright chorus shake, From palaces to beaches, from deserts to lakes. Sing loud as carriers rumble from port, Sing brave as the robed write the long, final report. Till the smoke thins to morning, and the headlines are done, We’ll hold on to each other—and call back the sun.
