[Intro – Sound FX and Atmosphere] [SFX: TV static fades in] [SFX: distant presidential speech snippet (cut mid-word) ] [SFX: coins dropping to the floor in slow motion ] [Instrumental riff begins – slow, heavy, unsteady groove] [Verse 1 – Narrator] A voice on high, a silver grin He smiled and said, “We’ll win again” But behind the words, the seal was cracked The anchor cut, no turning back No weight, no tie to time or toil Just paper kings and blood for oil A promise severed in disguise Aurelia fell from gilded skies [Chorus – Repeating Hook] [Trickster Dick – smug, theatrical male voice] “No need for gold, no need for trust Just print it all, inflate or bust!” [Aurelia – mournful clean female voice] “You cut the chain that kept us true Now every lie will pass as due” [Verse 2 – Narrator] He grinned beneath the nation's flag A dollar died with every brag The world obeyed, the dollar spread But every step was built on dread Now debt is law, and truth's a price He bought the world with printed vice Aurelia cried from deep below But none could hear through Nixon’s show [Chorus – Repeating Hook] [Trickster Dick] “Off the gold, unleash the flood! Let credit rise and bury blood!” [Aurelia] “What floats so free must one day fall And crush the souls who heed your call” [Bridge – Spoken / Chant with Instrumental Drop] [Narrator or dual voice, slow and solemn] “He waved a hand, he broke the seal A deal undone no time could heal The chain is gone, the drift began The mask was man, but not the plan” [Final Chorus – Overlapping voices, battle tone] [Trickster Dick – louder, cocky] “Debt is freedom, cash is king!” [Aurelia – soaring, pained voice] “A world unmoored will never sing…” [Both] “Let history judge what lies were sold At Nixon’s Crossroads, they killed the gold.[Outro][Fadeout] [SFX: echo of a gold coin dropping into a deep void ] [SFX: soft feedback hum fading into silence] [end]
