[Verse 1]
Kyiv unleashes swarms of steel
Hundreds of drones begin to reel
Across the border, payback's flight
Putin's rejection sparked this bite
No handshake offered, bridges burned
Tables empty, meetings spurned
Zelenskyy's olive branch declined
Drone shadows dance across the line
[Chorus]
Neither winning, neither lost
Stalemate's grip, what is the cost
Voices rise through smoky haze
Counting down uncertain days
War machine keeps churning on
Dawn to dusk, dusk until dawn
[Verse 2]
European allies gather round
Five conditions, stakes unwound
Peace talks hang on whispered terms
While battlefield still churns and burns
Atlantic voices tell the tale
Ukraine stands, will never fail
Russia stumbles, cannot claim
Victory in this deadly game
[Chorus]
Neither winning, neither lost
Stalemate's grip, what is the cost
Voices rise through smoky haze
Counting down uncertain days
War machine keeps churning on
Dawn to dusk, dusk until dawn
[Verse 3]
Soldiers' voices pierce the night
New York Times brings truth to light
Abramovich meets in secret halls
Backchannel whispers through the walls
Institute maps the shifting ground
Campaign assessment, losses found
Putin shrugs, says meeting's void
Diplomatic hopes destroyed
[Bridge]
Anne Applebaum's pen declares
Ukraine fights through all nightmares
Al Jazeera quotes the czar
"No point meeting" from afar
Guardian's briefing tells it straight
Drone swarms seal a bitter fate
[Verse 4]
Children sleep in subway halls
While mothers answer desperate calls
Fathers fight on frozen ground
Where artillery shells resound
Cities crumble, spirits bend
When will this madness ever end
Hospitals and schools in flames
History records all their names
[Chorus]
Neither winning, neither lost
Stalemate's grip, what is the cost
Voices rise through smoky haze
Counting down uncertain days
War machine keeps churning on
Dawn to dusk, dusk until dawn
[Outro]
June eighth fades to memory
Tomorrow brings new misery
Headlines shift but pain remains
Blood and tears, unbroken chains
[Final Chorus]
Neither winning, neither lost
Stalemate's grip, what is the cost
Voices rise through smoky haze
Counting down uncertain days
War machine keeps churning on
Dawn to dusk, dusk until dawn
