Verse 1
Dubai crude climbing up the chart
Sixty-six per barrel pulls the world apart
Emergency meetings in the velvet dark
White House panic feels the burning spark
Economic ruin knocking at the door
Midterms looming while the tankers moor
Power isn't posture like it was before
Beggars can't be choosers when they're poor
Pre-Chorus
Gulf states silent in the waiting room
Fait accompli spells their quiet doom
Money moving in a desert plume
The empty threat starts to bloom
Chorus
Ambiguity in the strait
Seventy days of checking the gate
They get twenty billion just to wait
Seal the borders or decide our fate
Strategic loss at a heavy cost
Ambiguity in the strait
Strategic loss at a heavy cost
The upper hand is surely lost
Verse 2
Sixty days is nothing but a lens
Drone strike happens where the shipping ends
Proxy networks calling all their friends
Ballistic dreams making no amends
Liquid assets flowing to the east
Feeding what they call a starving beast
Empty chairs at the desert feast
Smallest countries fear the most at least
Pre-Chorus
Security architecture built of sand
Invisible lines on the stolen land
Shadow puppets move at their command
Losing grip of a steady hand
Chorus
Ambiguity in the strait
Seventy days of checking the gate
They get twenty billion just to wait
Seal the borders or decide our fate
Strategic loss at a heavy cost
Ambiguity in the strait
Strategic loss at a heavy cost
The upper hand is surely lost
Bridge
They call it a deal
They call it a win
But nobody knows where the lies begin
Pricing the peace
Buying the time
Slipping through cracks of a political crime
Hormuz is heavy with a weight you can't see
Trading the long term for a brief guarantee
Chorus
Ambiguity in the strait
Seventy days of checking the gate
They get twenty billion just to wait
Seal the borders or decide our fate
Strategic loss at a heavy cost
Ambiguity in the strait
Strategic loss at a heavy cost
The upper hand is surely lost
