[Verse 1] October twenty-seventh, the wires hum low and slow, Oman's foreign minister says the real block ain't us, it's the undertow — Washington keeps pointing fingers, calling Tehran the threat, Peace stays parked in traffic, engine running, handbrake set. [Chorus] Mesa redonda, todos sentados em Tehran, Mecca pact gathered close, holding hands with Iran, Falando de paz, mas o medo não vai embora, Talking down the war clock, one more borrowed hour. [Verse 2] Saudi officials landed, Turkish delegates too, Bloomberg counts the footsteps walking war tension through, CNN calls it fragile, PBS says edge, Al Jazeera frames it plain — Yemen's the jagged ledge. Every handshake's cautious, every toast half-raised, Diplomacy on tiptoe through a minefield haze, This is the Mecca defense bloc trying to defuse the spark, Iran-US, Iran-Yemen — stitching wounds back in the dark. [Chorus] Mesa redonda, todos sentados em Tehran, Mecca pact gathered close, holding hands with Iran, Falando de paz, mas o medo não vai embora, Talking down the war clock, one more borrowed hour. [Bridge] Enquanto uns conversam, outros armam o braço, Cairo's parliament just cleared the space — Egypt's votes say military support for Riyadh, Shielding the kingdom from the Houthi onslaught, Same day, two roads: words in Tehran's hall, Weapons clearing Cairo, standing by the call. [Verse 3] So picture the map tonight, two currents running thick, One's diplomats pleading slow, one's a soldier's quick, Oman says blame's misplaced, the real knot's overseas, Egypt says enough talk, we'll back you with our fleet. The Gulf holds its breath between the pen and the gun, October twenty-seven, the balancing not done. [Verse 4] Analysts on the wires, parsing every clause, Reuters checks the backchannels, hunting hidden flaws, Istanbul's observers lean in close to hear, Muscat plays the mediator, steady through the fear. Yemen's cities count the drones still circling overhead, While envoys trade their language for a ceasefire instead, Riyadh watches Cairo's guns line up along the coast, Tehran counts the minutes that could matter the most. Every flag at half-mast for the deals not yet signed, Every border a question mark drawn in the sand and mind, The world keeps score in headlines, in satellites above, Measuring the distance between fear and something like trust. [Chorus] Mesa redonda, todos sentados em Tehran, Mecca pact gathered close, holding hands with Iran, Falando de paz, mas o medo não vai embora, Talking down the war clock, one more borrowed hour. [Outro] Tehran's table, Cairo's vote, the Gulf split in two, Palavras e armas — qual caminho é o verdadeiro? One more day counted, one more wire sent through, One more borrowed hour, one more thing to lose.
