[Intro - Female Vocal]
Eight fifty-nine.
Innovation One.
Three hundred cards.
No place to run.

[Verse 1 - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
At nine, the windows catch the sun.
zah-BEE-nuh says, "We take each one.
Set the goal and name the cost.
Choose the work before it's lost."
Fresh coffee steams, the markers new,
yellow notes and pink ones too.
klowss reads ticket ninety-eight.
LAY-on says, "Before we estimate—"

[Pre-Chorus - Male Vocal]
A minor change, a market need,
a partner promise, urgent speed.
VIK-tor writes the target high.
The timer sings its five-beat lie.

[Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
Sprint planning eternity—
hours filed as certainty.
We plead the cause on bended knees;
every choice needs three committees.
In Innovation One we stay,
planning all the work away.

[Verse 2 - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Male Vocal]
At eleven, ticket twelve
shatters into scattered cards.
[Female Vocal]
PREE-yah asks for test design.
[Male Vocal]
LAY-on says, "We'll scope, then sign."
[Female Vocal]
MAH-rah lists the failing drives.
[Male Vocal]
VIK-tor asks which feature thrives.
klowss says, "None if storage dies."
VIK-tor taps the climbing line.

[Pre-Chorus - Female Vocal]
Cards go up and cards come down;
every estimate spins around.
zah-BEE-nuh grips the plastic sword:
"Remove the block we've all ignored."

[Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
Sprint planning eternity—
hours filed as certainty.
We plead the cause on bended knees;
every choice needs three committees.
In Innovation One we stay,
planning all the work away.

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude - Male Vocal, spoken]
One twenty-three.
The sandwiches arrive.
The cheese is sweating
under plastic wrap.

[Verse 3 - Female Vocal]
At two, the room grows warm and thin;
someone cracks the scope again.
At three, the conference screen goes black.
MAH-rah crawls behind the rack.
At four, the consultants call:
"Have you sized the learning goal?"
At five, PREE-yah shuts her eyes.
klowss gives the carpet five.

[Pre-Chorus - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Female Vocal]
zah-BEE-nuh says, "We need a break."
[Male Vocal]
VIK-tor says, "That risks the date."
LAY-on bolts a mobile view.
[Team Voices]
The room groans in seven-eight.

[Chorus Variation - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
Sprint planning eternity—
no exit and no guarantee.
Count the risk and ration sleep;
no pause has value we can keep.
In Innovation One we stay,
planning all our strength away.

[Hammond Organ Solo]

[Bridge - Female Vocal]
Six-ten: the daylight thins.
Eight: the cleaners pass the door.
Ten: two hundred cards remain.
klowss counts ceiling tiles once more.

[Breakdown - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Male Vocal]
How many points for dinner?
How many points for breath?
[Female Vocal]
Don't you turn a human limit
into one more sprint to death.

[Build-up - Female Vocal]
Eleven-oh-two. The timer flashes.
PREE-yah drops her numbered cards.
klowss tears ticket one-four-three.
zah-BEE-nuh strikes the clock. It freezes.

[Final Chorus - Female Vocal and Team Choir]
Sprint planning eternity—
we reject your certainty.
No more points for work unknown;
no more targets carved in stone.
Innovation One can keep
every vow that costs us sleep.

[Climax - Team Choir]
No estimate.
No extra line.
No "quick request"
at closing time.

[Outro - Female Vocal]
Eleven-oh-seven.
The screen asks, "Save changes?"
zah-BEE-nuh pulls the plug.
The red display goes black.
