Lyrics
Verse 1
A secretive new leader speaks from Tehran tonight
His first statement to the world beneath the fading light
Appointed to the top, he vows to keep attacks in play
Iran's supreme command won't let the fire fade away
AP News is running wires, the oil prices climb
Another chapter written in this long contested time
Chorus
Who can take the most pain
In this war of attrition's rain
From the Gulf to the Parliament halls
The whole world watches as the dominoes fall
Shadows over the Gulf tonight
No one's wrong and no one's right
Verse 2
March eleven, twenty-twenty-six, the airports under threat
Iran targets the busiest hub the Gulf has ever kept
The UN Security Council demands a halt to strikes
On neighboring nations caught between the crosshairs and the pipes
Israel and the US brace for what may come their way
A contest drawn in patience, who will break and who will stay
Chorus
Who can take the most pain
In this war of attrition's rain
From the Gulf to the Parliament halls
The whole world watches as the dominoes fall
Shadows over the Gulf tonight
No one's wrong and no one's right
Verse 3
Across the water, Britain writes a different kind of change
Seven hundred years of nobles, lords a-leaving, rearranged
Hereditary peers ejected from the House of Lords
A parliament rewritten, cutting ancient silken cords
While Tehran makes its promises and London shuts its doors
The morning wire hums with news of revolutions and of wars
Bridge
Oil prices rising, diplomats convene
The world is turning pages no one's ever seen
From Iran to Britain, power shifts its weight
And all we do is watch and wait
Watch and wait
Chorus
Who can take the most pain
In this war of attrition's rain
From the Gulf to the Parliament halls
The whole world watches as the dominoes fall
Shadows over the Gulf tonight
No one's wrong and no one's right
