Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deep in cardiac chambers where the aorta starts to climb
Two vessels branch like ancient trees, their origins divine
From pockets carved in vessel walls, the sinuses hold tight
Valsalva's chambers cradle roots that feed the beating night

[Chorus]
Left and right coronary streams
Racing through myocardial dreams
Oxygen highways pump and flow
Five branches every surgeon knows
Map the arteries before you slice
One mistake costs the ultimate price

[Verse 2]
The left main splits to two pathways, anterior descending
While circumflex curves round the back, its oxygen defending
Right coronary takes the floor, inferior wall its prize
Posterior descending calls when circulation flies

[Chorus]
Left and right coronary streams
Racing through myocardial dreams
Oxygen highways pump and flow
Five branches every surgeon knows
Map the arteries before you slice
One mistake costs the ultimate price

[Bridge]
When truncus shows its twisted face
And vessels hide in foreign space
Anomalous origins disguised
Must be traced before the knife
Catheter maps reveal the maze
Before the scalpel finds its place

[Verse 3]
LAD and LCX from left main's fork
RCA stands alone, no need to talk
PDA from right or left can spring
Dominance patterns surgeons sing

[Final Chorus]
Five coronary lifelines run
Left main, LAD, and LCX begun
RCA and PDA complete the crown
Never let your patients down
Identify before you start
Save the vessels, save the heart

[Outro]
In Valsalva's embrace they hide
Coronary treasure deep inside
