Alarm Clock

Pressure builds in the faultlines, borders start to flame, Every move on the map got a cost to the game. Alliances keep shifting, nothing stays the same, One misread signal and they’re calling out blame. [Verse 1] Trade routes choke when the fleets rotate, Sanctions hit hard like a closing gate. Proxy lines drawn where the powers debate, And the smallest misstep can escalate fate. Cold fronts rise where the warm zones break, Old treaties strain under new landscape. Cyber ops hum like a silent quake, And the world holds breath for the next handshake. [Hook] Pressure builds in the faultlines, borders start to flame, Every move on the map got a cost to the game. Alliances keep shifting, nothing stays the same, One misread signal and they’re calling out blame. [Verse 2] Straits run tight where the tankers glide, Energy routes mark the global divide. Airspace tense with the jets outside, And the satellites watch every shift in the tide. Leaders talk calm while the troops deploy, Diplomats frame what the hawks might destroy. History loops like a worn-out ploy, And the youth inherit what the elders employ. [Outro] Pressure builds in the faultlines, borders start to flame, Every move on the map got a cost to the game. Lines get drawn, but the world’s still the same, Trying not to spark what no one can tame.
