[Intro] (Minor key lute arpeggio, low cello drone, building tension) [Verse 1] A foul beast haunts the trade routes, hiding in the shade, Promising free settlement, but holding keys unpaid. It lures the simple trader into its dark retreat, Then locks down all withdrawals and signs its own deceit. [Pre-Chorus] When fractional reserves run dry and markets turn to red, You need a native node operator, where native code is bred. With RUNE bound to his vault of steel, and TEE ES ES blade in hand, He routes the cross-chain state across the sovereign land. [Chorus] Toss a swap to your THORChad, O' Valley of Liquidity, O' Valley of Liquidity, oh-oh-oh! Toss a swap to your THORChad, (Vocoder) Slayer of CEX risk! [Verse 2] No wrapped token IOUs, no paper in his chest, He churns into the active set to put the CEX to rest. Through Asgard vaults and pooled reserves, the native assets flow, He kills the middleman’s delay with one decisive blow. [Pre-Chorus] When fractional reserves run dry and markets turn to red, You need a native node operator, where native code is bred. With RUNE bound to his vault of steel, and TEE ES ES blade in hand, He routes the cross-chain state across the sovereign land. [Chorus] Toss a swap to your THORChad, O' Valley of Liquidity, O' Valley of Liquidity, oh-oh-oh! Toss a swap to your THORChad, (Vocoder) Slayer of CEX risk! [Bridge] (Tempo slows, heavy pounding drum beat, dramatic violin solo) Not your keys, not your coins, the old tradition spoke, Until the Butcher of the Bridges broke the tyrant's yoke. Permissionless, non-custodial, the state is signed in full! [Chorus] (Full tavern choir joining, high energy, pounding rhythm) Toss a swap to your THORChad, O' Valley of Liquidity, O' Valley of Liquidity, oh-oh-oh! Toss a swap to your THORChad, (Vocoder) Slayer of CEX risk! [Outro] (Fading lute solo, coin drop sound, dying campfire) Slayer of CEX risk... Native settlement complete. (Fade out)
