[Verse 1]
Nine bodies counted where the salvos fell
Russia launched missiles, Ukraine launched as well
Drones trading punches across the dark terrain
Six more civilians caught inside the rain
Kyiv and Moscow, neither one holds still
Each strike an answer to the previous bill
[Chorus]
Zelenskyy's reshuffling the cabinet floor
A new Prime Minister walks through the door
Law enforcement cracking, needs a new design
The president draws a different borderline
This is July thirteenth, write it down
The war keeps humming in a fractured town
[Verse 2]
Allies are counting up the air defense stock
Battlefield momentum shifting off the clock
Reuters reports the pressure's building fast
Radar and missiles — how long can they last
The Western partners tallying what to send
Hoping the trajectory starts to bend
[Chorus]
Zelenskyy's reshuffling the cabinet floor
A new Prime Minister walks through the door
Law enforcement cracking, needs a new design
The president draws a different borderline
This is July thirteenth, write it down
The war keeps humming in a fractured town
[Bridge]
The Council on Foreign Relations marks the hour
Says peace talks may be ripe but Putin holds the power
He could escalate or finally sit across the table
Washington debates how long it stays able
Lindsey Graham's old vision of America abroad
Fading in the hallways, losing ground, growing odd
[Verse 3]
The Institute for War maps every gained kilometer
Every trench and village gets its own parameter
Assessment after assessment, the picture stays the same
A grinding calculation playing an unfinished game
But somewhere in the data, someone's drawing lines
Hoping that the July maps become tomorrow's signs
[Verse 4]
The refugees keep moving, carrying what remains
A photograph, a document, a child through the rains
The hospitals are rationing the medicine and light
Surgeons working double shifts from morning into night
The world scrolls past the headlines, pauses for a beat
Then keeps on moving forward down a comfortable street
[Chorus]
Zelenskyy's reshuffling the cabinet floor
A new Prime Minister walks through the door
Law enforcement cracking, needs a new design
The president draws a different borderline
This is July thirteenth, write it down
The war keeps humming in a fractured town
[Outro]
Nine dead, six dead, the numbers stack
Every drone that leaves doesn't come back
Ukraine war briefing — that's today's report
A country rebuilding while fighting the court
