[Verse 1]
Zelenskyy's written it down, passed the paper west
Proposals handed to America, a diplomatic test
Ukraine says it wants new talks, a crack inside the wall
Trump had told them hold no cards — Kyiv said watch us call
They pushed the war across the border, struck where Russia stood
Took the fight to Russian soil like they always said they would
[Chorus]
North Korean missiles raining down on Zaporizhzhia
Russian hands, Korean warheads — Zelenskyy makes it clear
Twelve are killed, the sirens wail, the evidence is named
Ballistic trails that trace back east, Pyongyang shares the blame
This is August twenty-twenty-six, write it in your bones
Diplomacy and death are sharing the same broken zones
[Verse 2]
Vance called Kyiv, told them stop — the tanker strikes must end
The ships that carry Russian oil, that pressure had to bend
Washington still pulling strings on what Ukraine can hit
Even as the sky fills with North Korean grit
Prisoners of war forgotten in the shadow of the fight
France at the United Nations raising them to sight
[Chorus]
North Korean missiles raining down on Zaporizhzhia
Russian hands, Korean warheads — Zelenskyy makes it clear
Twelve are killed, the sirens wail, the evidence is named
Ballistic trails that trace back east, Pyongyang shares the blame
This is August twenty-twenty-six, write it in your bones
Diplomacy and death are sharing the same broken zones
[Verse 3]
Ceasefire lines drawn on paper, smudged before the ink dries
Satellites are reading smoke trails written in the skies
Europe holds its emergency sessions, phones ring late at night
Every capital is calculating who defines the right
The factories in Pyongyang worked the midnight shift for this
Warheads packed in Russian transports, sealed with an iron fist
Kim Jong Un collected debts in blood and shattered glass
While diplomats in Washington debated what would last
[Bridge]
One hand holds a peace proposal, one hand shields from fire
Global powers pulling levers, tangled in the wire
Korea, Russia, US, Ukraine — four directions pulling hard
Every headline is a lesson in how fragile peace is scarred
[Verse 4]
The families in Zaporizhzhia counted twelve gone names
Nobody at the summit table answers for those flames
Zelenskyy stands before the cameras, steady in the wreck
Peace proposals in one pocket, evidence on deck
He says the world must see who built the weapon, who pulled the pin
The allies nod and file the report and meet again
[Chorus]
North Korean missiles raining down on Zaporizhzhia
Russian hands, Korean warheads — Zelenskyy makes it clear
Twelve are killed, the sirens wail, the evidence is named
Ballistic trails that trace back east, Pyongyang shares the blame
This is August twenty-twenty-six, write it in your bones
Diplomacy and death are sharing the same broken zones
[Outro]
Zelenskyy sent the papers west, the missiles still arrive
That's the news of August twelve — how the world survives
