[Verse 1]
Ships line up at the Strait of Hormuz gate
Oil flows through while the world must wait
Suez Canal or Malacca's way
One blocked passage ruins the day
When the narrow waters hold the key
Global trade's at their mercy
[Chorus]
Choke-points, minerals, food and ice
Strategic power has its price
Control the flow, control the game
Arctic waters stake your claim
Four pillars holding nations strong
When they're threatened, things go wrong
[Verse 2]
Lithium from the Andes high
Rare earths where the dragons fly
Cobalt from the Congo's heart
When supply chains fall apart
Your electric future's in their hands
Dependency across the lands
[Chorus]
Choke-points, minerals, food and ice
Strategic power has its price
Control the flow, control the game
Arctic waters stake your claim
Four pillars holding nations strong
When they're threatened, things go wrong
[Verse 3]
Wheat fields feed the world's demand
Drought or war can curse the land
Food security's not just plates
It topples kings and seals their fates
Empty stomachs start the fight
Hunger makes the wrongs seem right
[Bridge]
Ice is melting in the north
New sea lanes are coming forth
Resources hiding under white
Nations racing for the right
To claim the Arctic's hidden gold
New great game is taking hold
[Chorus]
Choke-points, minerals, food and ice
Strategic power has its price
Control the flow, control the game
Arctic waters stake your claim
Four pillars holding nations strong
When they're threatened, things go wrong
[Outro]
Geography is destiny's call
Control the choke-points, control it all
From Hormuz Strait to Greenland's shore
These four foundations fuel the war
