[SPOKEN INTRO]
The brazen vessel is the instrument of compulsion.
The spirit must enter it.
Must state its true name.
Must reveal the nature of its operation.
No institution survives
the accurate naming
of what it actually does.
[VERSE 1]
I conjure you by the name beneath your title
By the function underneath your stated aim
The central bank that calls itself a steward
While engineering who can play the game
The international body dressed in neutral language
That convenes in January altitude
To distribute the coordinates of the coming decade
To the ones who built the room
And own the view
[PRE-CHORUS]
Enter the vessel
State the true name
Not the name on the document
Not the name on the chamber wall
The name of what you actually do
When the cameras are off
And the session is closed
And the century gets signed
[CHORUS]
What is your true name beneath the letterhead
What is your function beneath the stated aim
What moves in the quiet room in January
Before the policy descends as if from flame
I conjure you into the open
By the authority of the one who understands
The brazen vessel holds what cannot hide
When named by sovereign hands
[VERSE 2]
The digital identity framework calls itself convenience
The CBDC calls itself financial inclusion's door
Programmable currency with an expiration function
China's digital yuan already keeping score
One hundred thirty nations building the infrastructure
The interoperable surveillance grid is real
Every transaction logged and cross-referenced
In the vessel of the system's true reveal
[CHORUS]
What is your true name beneath the letterhead
What is your function beneath the stated aim
What moves in the quiet room in January
Before the policy descends as if from flame
I conjure you into the open
By the authority of the one who understands
The brazen vessel holds what cannot hide
When named by sovereign hands
[BRIDGE]
The spirit that refuses to reveal its name
Is the spirit with the most to lose from naming
Every institution built on managed ignorance
Depends on the population not examining
The name beneath the name
Is the mechanism
And the mechanism
Loses its authority
The moment it is spoken
Into open air
[OUTRO]
Into the vessel.
State the name.
The working has begun.
And it does not end
until the true name
has been spoken
where everyone
can hear it.
