I. THE PREMIUM (Verse 1 — restrained, ritualistic)
We laid the wires beneath the floor
Called it “support,” called it “before”
Every candle needs a room to burn
Every question waits its turn
We priced the silence, priced the air
Measured dust and light and prayer
No one asked what faith would cost
When numbers learned to sing like gods
PRE-CHORUS (rising tension)
Hands don’t touch the counting room
Keys are carved in marble runes
If the work is clean and true
Why the locks? Why all the blue?
II. LION’S SHARE (Chorus — grand, seductive)
Come inside, we’ll keep you warm
Build you halls to weather storms
What we take, we take to give
This is how the great things live
Lay your work upon the scale
Trust the rate, the gate, the veil
Every dream must pay its due
To the house that carries you
III. RATE DRIFT (Verse 2 — unsettled, shifting meters)
Percentages that lose their names
Slide like rivers, shift like blame
Nobody owns the moving line
Everyone swears it’s by design
Paper grows, the lab stays small
Echoes bounce, the voices stall
What was built to serve the flame
Now demands it feed the frame
PRE-CHORUS 2 (shorter, sharper)
You don’t see it, but you feel
Weight that never learned to kneel
If the truth can stand the light
Why does daylight start a fight?
IV. CATHEDRAL BUILD (Chorus — expanded, almost worship)
Stone by stone, we raise the claim
In progress’ ever-holy name
Not a tax, not a toll
Just the cost of being whole
Lift your eyes, admire the view
See what careful rates can do
Every floor a promise kept
Every doubt politely slept
V. OPEN THE BOOKS (Bridge — collapse, near silence)
Whose hands touch the unseen thread?
Who decides what’s fed, what’s fed?
No accusation, no decree
Just show us where the numbers sleep
If it’s honest, let it breathe
If it’s holy, let it be
No fire dies from open air
No truth breaks from being fair
VI. BLACK BOX REPRISE (Outro — unresolved, heavy)
We built a house around the flame
Now the house demands its name
Still the work calls from inside
Soft… and patient… still alive
Doors stand tall. The locks remain.
The choir hums the old refrain.
(Last line whispered, unresolved)
Trust the rate. Trust the gate.
