[Intro - Female Vocal, spoken]
Start.
Stop.
Continue.
No names.

[Verse 1 - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
PREE-yah writes, "Stop shipping blind."
MAH-rah writes, "Protect our time."
klowss writes, "Let the builders choose."
zah-BEE-nuh reads them to the room.
VIK-tor spins the screen around:
"Before solutions, facts are found."
A table lists each missed commit—
and every row has one name in it.

[Pre-Chorus - Male Vocal]
Safety needs accountability.
Truth requires visibility.
Let us learn without attack—
PREE-yah, why were tests held back?

[Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
The retrospective of blame—
every lesson needs a name.
What went wrong becomes who failed;
every open question, jailed.
We came to change the work we do;
now the work is judging you.

[Verse 2 - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Female Vocal]
PREE-yah says, "The build arrived
Friday night at ten-oh-five."
[Male Vocal]
VIK-tor says, "So Q-A delayed."
LAY-on adds, "The scope was made."
[Female Vocal]
MAH-rah says, "The disks were full."
[Male Vocal]
VIK-tor calls her planning dull.
klowss says, "We flagged that risk in May."
LAY-on asks, "Then why the long delay?"

[Pre-Chorus - Male Vocal]
Candor is a company need.
Please be brave and take the leed.
klowss, your tone obstructs the team.
MAH-rah, outages hurt the theme.

[Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
The retrospective of blame—
every lesson needs a name.
What went wrong becomes who failed;
every open question, jailed.
We came to change the work we do;
now the work is judging you.

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge - Female Vocal]
Yellow notes peel off the wall.
"Speak without fear" hangs overhead.
Below it: names in ordered rows.
The lesson stops where ranking starts.

[Breakdown - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Male Vocal]
Who missed the date? Who broke the build?
Who raised the risk and left it filled?
[Female Vocal]
Who changed the scope? Who cut the test?
Who saves the graph and blames the rest?

[Build-up - Female Vocal]
zah-BEE-nuh klozes VIK-tor's file.
No one speaks for half a while.
PREE-yah tears her card in two.
MAH-rah says, "I'm finished too."

[Final Chorus - Female Vocal and Team Choir]
The retrospective of blame—
we refuse to play your game.
What went wrong is not a face;
look at power, time, and place.
Change the work that people do;
make the system answer too.

[Outro - Female Vocal, spoken]
Start: tell the truth.
Stop: calling fear a tool.
Continue: nothing
until the room is safe.
