[Verse 1] The Red Sea routes grow treacherous, Houthis prowling the strait So Saudi tankers reroute their crude through the Mediterranean gate Pipeline diplomacy, petroleum flowing west Yemen claimed an Aramco strike — Riyadh's under test The map of energy is redrawing overnight Brass and oil and pressure — das Gleichgewicht ist tight [Chorus] Die Welt verändert sich — the Middle East rearranged Neue Mächte, alte Routen — every border's been exchanged Three powers ink their covenant, the post-American age Das ist kein Zufall, das ist Geschichte — turning the page [Verse 2] Trump cast the dice and watched the board tilt on its axis Now Israel and the UAE are sharpening their praxis A portentous word — meaning consequences heavy with weight Decisions whose gravity compresses the fate of the state Keir Simmons sits in Riyadh, answering what's left unclear While Saudi Arabia blocked Egypt's seat — sources say, insiders fear [Chorus] Die Welt verändert sich — the Middle East rearranged Neue Mächte, alte Routen — every border's been exchanged Three powers ink their covenant, the post-American age Das ist kein Zufall, das ist Geschichte — turning the page [Verse 3] China sends its envoys quiet, no press corps, no fanfare Signing memoranda in the spaces Washington left bare The Gulf Cooperation Council reads the room and pivots east While NATO watches nervously — the leverage has decreased Tehran calculates the margin, Moscow counts the score Multipolarity arrives — this is what they waited for [Chorus] Die Welt verändert sich — the Middle East rearranged Neue Mächte, alte Routen — every border's been exchanged Three powers ink their covenant, the post-American age Das ist kein Zufall, das ist Geschichte — turning the page [Bridge] Call it roil — the turbulent churning beneath a surface calm When alliances combust and reshuffling becomes the psalm Gulf News, August thirteenth — nothing settles, nothing stills Brass stabs punctuate the silence over sand and ancient hills Al Jazeera reads the vacuum, GIS Reports the gain Wer gewinnt das Spiel? — who captures what America's leaving, unclaimed? [Chorus] Die Welt verändert sich — the Middle East rearranged Neue Mächte, alte Routen — every border's been exchanged Three powers ink their covenant, the post-American age Das ist kein Zufall, das ist Geschichte — turning the page [Outro] Pipelines west, new pacts pressed, one region — many hands Remember August thirteenth when you try to understand The post-American Middle East is no longer a forecast Es ist jetzt — it is now — the die is finally cast
