[Verse 1] Zelenskyy calls it a doctrine now, Civilian rooftops under the bow, Not just the frontline, not just the trench, Moscow takes aim at the kitchen and bench, A fusillade — that's a storm of fire, Rapid rounds falling higher and higher, He says the target map has grown, Every city block, every home. [Chorus] Bridges are falling, the traffic's in knots, Northern Bridge broken, the capital's caught, Six lives taken while the river runs black, Ukraine says vengeance — hitting refineries back, This is the ledger of a war that won't pause, Doctrine on one side, resolve as the cause. [Verse 2] Second big bridge now cracked in Kyiv, Commuters rerouted, nowhere to breathe, BBC watching the cables sway, Guardian counting the cars gone astray, Zelenskiy's vowing an answer in kind, Russian refineries — that's the new line, Fuel for the tanks turns into the fire, Strike for a strike, the stakes climbing higher. [Chorus] Bridges are falling, the traffic's in knots, Northern Bridge broken, the capital's caught, Six lives taken while the river runs black, Ukraine says vengeance — hitting refineries back, This is the ledger of a war that won't pause, Doctrine on one side, resolve as the cause. [Bridge] Meanwhile in whispers, far from the blast, Washington tables an oil deal cast, Kushner and Witkoff named in the frame, Talks with Moscow playing a quieter game, Barrels and pipelines stitched into peace, While over Kyiv the sirens won't cease, Money and oil in the same breath as war, Who's it for — tell me, what's it all for. [Verse 3] Putin says more strikes are on the way, Warns the foreigners — don't come, don't stay, Zelenskyy answers, steady and clear, Ukraine will respond, there's no room for fear, A new doctrine met with a promise returned, Refinery smoke for the bridges burned, Northern Bridge groaning, girders exposed, Midnight in Kyiv, but nobody dozed. [Verse 4] Markets are watching the barrel price climb, Analysts counting the cost of the time, Pipelines in shadow while diplomats dine, Soldiers in trenches don't get a sign, Mothers in basements still counting the hours, Children above ground among broken towers, Satellites tracking the smoke as it curls, History writing the fate of the world. [Chorus] Bridges are falling, the traffic's in knots, Northern Bridge broken, the capital's caught, Six lives taken while the river runs black, Ukraine says vengeance — hitting refineries back, This is the ledger of a war that won't pause, Doctrine on one side, resolve as the cause. [Outro] October fourth, the ledger stands, Bridges and barrels in trembling hands, Tune in tomorrow, the story goes on, This is the news — and the war isn't gone.
