[Intro – dock bell hits + crew shout buildup] HEY!… Load the line! Bring it in! We begin! [Verse 1 – Lead Sailor (driving rhythm)] Crates are shaking in the hold Every story wrapped in gold Ropes are tight, the tide is right We move everything tonight Dock lights flicker, engines roar Something bigger than before Every step on wooden grain Feeds the rhythm, feeds the chain [Crew Response – sharp call & answer] What we hauling?! — DROP IT! What we calling?! — STOP IT! Who controls it?! — WE DO! What we rolling?! — TRUE TRUE! [Pre-Chorus – rising stomp build] Feel the floor begin to rise Hear the dock electrify Nothing here stays still for long Everything becomes the song [CHORUS – FULL CREW ANTHEM / BIGGEST MOMENT] HOIST THE DROP! (HOIST THE DROP!) NEVER STOP! (NEVER STOP!) LET IT ROLL ACROSS THE SEA— THIS IS OUR REALITY! HOIST THE DROP! (HOIST THE DROP!) TAKE THE TOP! (TAKE THE TOP!) EVERY CRATE AND EVERY LINE— NOW IT’S YOURS AND NOW IT’S MINE! [Verse 2 – Lead Sailor (faster, more urgent)] Chain by chain the system wakes Every motion that it makes Pulls the world into the bay Nothing ever drifts away Cargo dancing in the storm Something strange begins to form But we keep it in control Even chaos has a role [Bridge – glitch chant / layered crew voices] DROP! DROP! DROP IT IN! LINE! LINE! LET IT SPIN! STORM OR CALM WE PUSH IT THROUGH! DOCK IS ALIVE—IT’S CALLING YOU! [FINAL CHORUS – MAX ENERGY, ALL VOICES OVERLAPPING] HOIST THE DROP! HOIST THE DROP! NEVER STOP! NEVER STOP! EVERY STORY COMES ALIVE— IN THE LIGHT WE ALL SURVIVE! HOIST THE DROP! HOIST THE DROP! LET IT POP! LET IT POP! THIS IS WHERE THE WORLDS COLLIDE— COME INSIDE, DON’T HIDE, DON’T HIDE! [Outro – crew chanting fades into dock ambience] Hoist it… bring it… dock is open… dock is alive…
