[Intro – Slow minor-key bass riff with distant church bell and echoing quill scratches] [Verse 1 – Narrator] They dressed in robes, they spoke in sums Gold was loud, but ink was numb Balance whispered, but greed would shout And no one dared to count it out They wrote the truth, then made it bend A line adjusted, a war to lend Luthien watched with steady breath As Silas danced with deals of death [Chorus – Repeating Hook] [Silas – seductive male voice] “Write the line, make it mine Stack the ledger, bleed in time!” [Luthien – clean, firm female voice] “Every mark must bear the weight Truth delayed becomes too late” [Verse 2 – Narrator] From Florence walls to London stones They passed the debt like broken bones The book grew fat, the coins grew thin And every lie was logged within A merchant smiled, a kingdom burned Each number hid a lesson learned But no one checked, no one knew What power ink alone could do [Chorus – Repeating Hook] [Silas] “Write the line, make it mine Stack the ledger, bleed in time!” [Luthien] “Every mark must bear the weight Truth delayed becomes too late” [Bridge – Instrumental riff drop, slower tempo] [Spoken – Dual Voice or Chorus] “Debits, credits, shadow math A kingdom forged in aftermath Double entry, double face Truth erased, and none replace”
