[Intro]
The numbers fall across the screen,
The worst that we have ever seen,
The printing press ran day and night,
Now everything is losing sight.

[Verse 1]
The dollar's dying, losing ground,
Fiat paper, burning down,
Bitcoin crashing through the floor,
Crypto ain't worth nothing more,
Gold and silver taking hits,
Tech stocks falling, bit by bit,
Paper markets rigged and played,
Every chart a hand grenade.

[Pre-Chorus]
They told us it would be okay,
They printed trillions anyway,
You can't make money out of air,
And now the bill is finally there.

[Chorus 1]
It's the Great Cratering, watch it fall,
It's the Great Cratering, takes it all,
Every asset, every dime,
We were warned this whole damn time,
It's the Great Cratering, here at last,
Free money sure does crater fast.

[Verse 2]
Food and rent keep climbing high,
People watch their savings die,
Businesses are shutting down,
Bankruptcies in every town,
Tariffs choking what we need,
Supply chains bleed from endless greed,
AI took the jobs away,
Can't afford another day.

[Chorus 2]
It's the Great Cratering, hear it crack,
It's the Great Cratering, no way back,
Homes are lost and shelves are bare,
Lawless hunters everywhere,
It's the Great Cratering, feel the weight,
We saw it coming, turned too late.

[Bridge]
The banks will fail, the brokers too,
Bail-ins take what's left of you,
Counterparty risk is real,
Nothing's safe that you can't feel,
If you cannot hold the thing,
You own nothing but a string,
Only what is hard survives,
Gold and silver save our lives.

[Chorus 3]
It's the Great Cratering, let it roar,
It's the Great Cratering, to the core,
Paper burns but metal stays,
Hard assets live beyond the blaze,
It's the Great Cratering, running through,
Only real things pull you through.

[Outtro]
When the dust has cleared the land,
Only gold is in your hand,
Silver shining, cold and true,
That's the only thing that grew,
Through the Great Cratering's endless night,
Hard assets are the only light.
