Open The Straits
https://soundclick.com/song/15236313

[Intro]

[Verse]
There’s a line on the water where the tankers crawl
Thin blue vein through it all
Engines hummin’ like a warning sign
Every headline walkin’ a wire this time
From the desert wind to the ocean gate
Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout a closing fate
You can feel that pressure buildin’ slow
Like a spark nobody wants to know

[Chorus]
Open the straits… we’re in dire straits
Right on the edge of a twist of fate
From the Straits of Hormuz to the price we pay
One wrong move could light the way
Open the straits… before it’s too late
Yeah, we’re all tied in to that narrow gate

[Break]

[Verse]
Suits in a room drawin’ lines in sand
While the world keeps turnin’ on demand
Every barrel’s got a story to tell
From a quiet shore to a crowded well
You can joke about the name, play it light
But there’s shadows movin’ in the night
And the tide don’t care what side you’re on
When the flow cuts off, it all goes wrong

[Chorus]
Open the straits… we’re in dire straits
Right on the edge of a twist of fate
From the Straits of Hormuz to the price we pay
One wrong move could light the way
Open the straits… before it’s too late
Yeah, we’re all tied in to that narrow gate

[Bridge]
Funny how a line on a map can decide
If the world goes dark or the lights stay bright
A little stretch of water, not that wide
But it holds the weight of a thousand lives

[Interlude]

[Final chorus]
Open the straits… we’re in dire straits
Right on the edge of a twist of fate
From the Straits of Hormuz to the price we pay
One wrong move could light the way
Open the straits… before it’s too late
Yeah, we’re all tied in to that narrow gate

[Outro]
Open the straits… before it’s too late
