[Verse 1] When synthetic conduits bridge the cardiac divide And intracardiac patches heal what broke inside Aspirin guards these foreign shores, five milligrams per kilo A chemical sentinel standing watch where blood must flow [Chorus] Five per kilo, every day Keeps the clots and thrombi at bay Prosthetic surfaces gleaming clean Aspirin's the guardian in between Lifelong duty, lifelong call Till the next replacement comes to all [Verse 2] Truncus arteriosus brought us to this crossroad here Where artificial conduits make the pathway clear But foreign materials trigger coagulation's dance Without our platelet blocker, we don't stand a chance [Chorus] Five per kilo, every day Keeps the clots and thrombi at bay Prosthetic surfaces gleaming clean Aspirin's the guardian in between Lifelong duty, lifelong call Till the next replacement comes to all [Bridge] When stents arrive upon the scene Dual therapy takes the stage Clopidogrel joins the team For a temporary antiplatelet age But aspirin remains the cornerstone Never leave these surfaces alone [Verse 3] Each conduit replacement brings a moment to reflect Reassess the medication, keep the vessels unchecked From pediatric doses through the adult years ahead The prosthetic guardian keeps the flowing bloodstream fed [Chorus] Five per kilo, every day Keeps the clots and thrombi at bay Prosthetic surfaces gleaming clean Aspirin's the guardian in between Lifelong duty, lifelong call Till the next replacement comes to all [Outro] Thrombus formation has no place In this reconstructed cardiac space Antiplatelet therapy's embrace Keeps the circulation's saving grace
