Power Play

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Who holds the switch
(Who holds the flame?)
Call it profit
(Call it blame)

[Instrumental]
[Bass Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Verse 1]
Boardroom lights
(Burn all night)
Contracts signed
(Out of sight)
Future sold
(Line by line)
Short-term gain
(Long decline)

[Chorus]
Who’s at the wheel
(Of this machine?)
Grease the gears
(Keep it clean?)
Power play
(All along)
When the facts say right
(But the script says wrong)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Advisory words
(Behind closed doors)
Public trust
(What’s it for?)
Balance required
(By the law)
Transparency
(Without a flaw)

[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]

[Verse 2]
Energy flows
(From rock and fire)
Campaign cash
(Rising higher)
Science bent
(To fit the frame)
Different decade
(Same old game)

[Chorus]
Who’s at the wheel
(Of this machine?)
Shift the blame
(Change the scene?)
Power play
(So prolonged)
When the evidence stands
(But the verdict’s wrong)

[Instrumental – Saxophone Solo]
[Guitar Solo — sharper, angular]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
No one above
(The rule of law)
Paper trails
(Every flaw)
If you light the fuse
(You own the spark)
History writes
(In the dark)

[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]

[Outro]
Who holds the switch
(We all see)
Accountability
(Sets us free)
When power bends
(Truth so strong)
The lights come back
(Where they belong)
