[Verse 1] South of the map, a ceasefire city stands its ground, Officials call it holding, quiet where the shells once found, Meanwhile in Moscow the Kremlin draws a tighter line, Says Europe's not invited to the next negotiation sign, No seat for Paris, no chair for Berlin's crew, Just Kyiv and the Kremlin, that's the short guest list they drew, A table getting smaller while the stakes still climb up high, Peace talks like a secret, kept close, no reason why. [Chorus] Перемир'я тримається, hold that fragile thread, Мир, мир, Україна, words of peace half said, Talks without Europe, a table set apart, Війна триває still, but there's movement in the heart. [Verse 2] Forbes is asking folks a question with some weight, Are Americans ready for the tab if Russia wins the trade, What's the cost of walking, what's the cost to stay engaged, Numbers on a notepad writing history's final page, UK tells the council in a statement cold and plain, Russia's war is pricier now, achieving less, it's gain for pain, Spending more each season, grinding down to dust and rust, That's attrition for you — slow bleeding built on trust. [Chorus] Перемир'я тримається, hold that fragile thread, Мир, мир, Україна, words of peace half said, Talks without Europe, a table set apart, Війна триває still, but there's movement in the heart. [Verse 3] Zelensky stands in Kyiv saying troops are pushing back, Claims they're retaking ground along the shifted track, At the Security Forum, NATO's deputy speaks it plain, Says the skies need shielding — exigent, urgent, like driving rain, Meanwhile Pentagon's watchdog gets a letter, reads it slow, On Starlink signals dimming to the front, they'll let it go, No probe, no deep dive, lawmakers left to guess, Some questions just stay open underneath the static press. [Bridge] Every parley's a small door cracked in a wall of stone, A meeting called for terms before the guns postpone, Ukraine waits by the hinge, watching how it swings, Peace is a slow mechanic fixing broken things, No Europeans at the table, no air cover overhead, Just numbers, nerve, and patience carrying the thread. [Chorus] Перемир'я тримається, hold that fragile thread, Мир, мир, Україна, words of peace half said, Talks without Europe, a table set apart, Війна триває still, but there's movement in the heart. [Outro] October twenty-nine, the ledger's still in play, Ceasefire, cost, and sky defense — tune back in next relay, Мир шукають — they go looking, but the door's still halfway shut.
