[Tempo: Quick, dramatic]
[Cello intro]
[Shakespearean accent, spoken quickly ]
What fools these mortals be, who grasp at power,
Thinking themselves above the common hour!
They claim to serve, yet hide behind a veil—
A tale of hubris; let us now unveil.
[Female Narrator, spoken quickly]
A force emerged, cloaked in noble guise,
Claiming to root out waste with practiced lies.
Yet like a poison, corruption spreads unseen,
Infecting all, leaving truth in between.
[Tempo: Fast]
[Bass joins]
[Vocal 1 Female, melodic and brisk]
Hidden hands and veiled faces,
Power corrupts in the highest places.
Elon Musk, a front they chose to display,
But who pulls strings behind the curtain’s sway?
[Vocal 1 Female , deep and urgent]
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,"
Yet these leaders hide, refusing to be found.
No testimony, no truth laid bare—
Their silence speaks louder than words can declare.
Rap [Quick tempo]
Speak the truth! Stand in the light!
Justify your deeds and might!
[Vocal 2 Male, sarcastic tone]
But they replied with a haughty sneer:
"We owe no answers; we shan't appear!"
[Tempo: Fast but reflective]
[Cello solo]
[Shakespearean accent, spoken quickly]
"To thine own self be true," they did ignore—
For self-interest alone drove their score.
[Diva Solo] [Fast tempo with urgency]
Transparency flickers, a dying flame,
While secrecy rules their treacherous game.
[Tempo: Fast and intense]
[Bass heavy]
[Rap Verse] [Quick delivery]
Budgets slashed with ruthless haste—
"Out, out brief candle!" programs erased.
Conflicts swirl like a web of deceit—
What’s false is true; what’s true is untrue!
[Primal Scream] [Sharp and quick]
The people cry out for answers clear!
[Gospel Choir] [Building intensity]
But they refuse to appear!
[Tempo: Fast fade-out] [Cello and bass soften quickly]
[Female Narrator, spoken solemnly but briskly]
Oh, power corrupts when left unbound—
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely," resounds.
[Vocal 1 Female, harmonizing softly but quickly]
Let us learn from this tale of deceit and pride:
For when leaders hide behind facades so dense,
The kingdom crumbles beneath pretense.
[Quick]
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair," rings true—
When trust is lost... what can we do?
[All voices together in finality—quick but powerful delivery]
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown—
When built on lies... it all falls down.
[Tempo: Quick but contemplative fade-out] [Cello outro fades quickly]
[Shakespearean accent, spoken firmly but swiftly]
And so, dear friends, this tale doth end—
A mirror to our times, a message to send.
For power unchecked doth corrupt and decay;
Let vigilance be our watchword this very day.
