Comedic Moment

[Verse 1] Two hurt, Trying to find the words. Crashing, breaking, Only finding pieces of what remains. Speak easy, Don’t always speak your mind. Taking hits from your demons, Trying to blame me for those wicked times. You can’t fight the feeling— Crashing, breaking, Only finding pieces of what remains. [Chorus] Embers fill the sky, fire red. Let’s focus, let’s try again. Injured from the war, War of words—invaded, yeah, devastated. Collect the dead and build again. Will we make it? Will we take it? [Verse 2] I see you sitting there, Hating on this side of me. Ready for battle with Something you can’t see. Contemplating— What you do best. Avoid the questions, Answers not laid to rest. [Chorus] Embers fill the sky, fire red. Let’s focus, let’s try again. Injured from the war, War of words—invaded, yeah, devastated. Collect the dead and build again. Will we make it? Will we take it? [Bridge] (Stripped back, haunting tone) Crashing, breaking, Pieces of what remains. Can we rebuild from the ashes? Or are we lost in the flames? [Final Chorus] Embers fill the sky, fire red. Let’s focus, let’s try again. Injured from the war, War of words—invaded, yeah, devastated. Collect the dead and build again. Will we make it? Will we take it? [Outro] Two hurt, Trying to find the words. Crashing, breaking, Only finding pieces of what remains.

They trade, they conquer, they spread their name, All their paths lead to fortune and fame. From Qin to Rome, they left their mark, Connected by trade, like a spark. *(Verse 6: Alexander the Great)* Then came Alexander, mighty and bold, He took the world with stories untold.

Trade and culture, they all collide, Through Alexander, worlds did collide. *(Chorus)* Empires rising, one by one, Across the world under the sun. They trade, they conquer, they spread their name, All their paths lea

[Verse] Jumping on a pile of money so high Watch me reach for the sky Gold coins falling like rain No more worry or pain [Verse 2] Pockets full of dreams come true Bills and coins in every hue Dancing on this wealth tonight Shining under neon light [Chorus] Hey hey riches under my feet Every leap to the beat Silver notes and golden checks Breaking necks and cashing specs [Bridge] Got no time for banks or vaults In the air the money vaults Fold and crease in the breeze Luxury as far as eyes can see [Verse 3] Stacks of green like endless fields To paper cuts I’ll never yield Champagne fountains in my yard Living large playing hard [Chorus] Hey hey riches under my feet Every leap to the beat Silver notes and golden checks Breaking necks and cashing specs
