One Wire (The Bitcoin Fractal Version)

ONE WIRE (THE BITCOIN FRACTAL VERSION) [Verse 1] Under ticker tape and thunderclouds Empires rise and speak too loud Kings draw borders in the dust Markets boom and currencies rust Every age declares it’s new Every crowd believes it’s true But beneath the banners, wars, and fire Something hums along one wire [Chorus] One wire Running through the hopes of liars One wire Stretching through the funeral pyres Bent and bright through every climb Holding up the ordinary time One wire [Verse 2] (Spoken, Shakespearean) Good friends attend this ancient play Where costumes change but plots still stay The actors swear their age unique Yet speak the lines the old ghosts speak (Spoken, Robotic Weather) Forecast update: fear approaching from the west Greed conditions moving east Probability of euphoria: eighty-seven percent Historical recurrence within expected range (Spoken, Carnival Barker) Step right up, step right up, don’t be shy! Witness the miracle of the century! The brand-new panic! The never-before-seen bubble! The once-in-a-lifetime collapse! Same tent! Different paint! [Chorus] One wire Running through the market choir One wire Threading every boom and fire Bent and bright through every age Holding up the very same stage One wire [Bridge] A tulip blooms A railroad sings A radio hums A bitcoin rings Names change Costumes shift Generations drift And drift And drift But underneath the grand parade The shape remains The shape remains [Final Chorus] (Children’s choir: a single held note) (Spoken, Shakespearean over swelling orchestra) One wire, That carried kings and clerks and dreamers (Spoken, Robotic Weather) Historical bulletin: pattern remains active Deviation within normal limits (Spoken, Carnival Barker) One wire! For every banker! Every prophet! Every trader drawing lines upon a screen! For every genius! Every fool! Every certainty that history has ever seen! Through the crashes, through the climbs Through the endless reinvention of the times One wire Every scar and every spire Every cycle hanging from the wire Holding nations, faith, and desire With absurd fanfare for a cosmic little fractal wire Just one wire (Distant bells playing backward through eternity)
