Title: “Red October Skies”
[Soft Piano Intro]
[Verse 1]
Late nights, Petrograd, whispers in the cold Soldiers walking by, carrying tales untold You were a young dreamer, I was a rebel’s girl Two hearts on the edge of changing the world
[Violins join in, building tension]
[Pre-Chorus]
Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies
[Chorus, electric guitar and drums kick in]
Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring
[Second Verse, guitar slows down, more subdued]
Smell of gunpowder, but your love is fresh Rumors of a coup, as our hearts mesh Lenin and Kerensky, headlines of the day But we’re the secret history, they won’t narrate
[Violins swell, bringing emotion to the forefront]
[Pre-Chorus]
Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies
[Chorus, electric guitar and drums amplify]
Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring
[Bridge, music quiets down, softly spoken]
We were naive, perhaps we were young Two lovers entwined in a world undone As the Winter Palace fell, so did the rain In that revolution, we found love’s domain
[Build-up to final chorus, every instrument at full force]
[Pre-Chorus]
Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies
[Final Chorus, with backing vocals]
Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring
[Outro, music fades away leaving only the soft piano]
Red October skies, a love undefined Two hearts in a chapter that history couldn’t bind Oh, we are the lost verse, in the tale of that year But in my heart, October, you’re forever near
[End, final piano note echoing into silence]
Alright folks here it is. The grand fucking finale
[CNN Studio, lights up, camera focuses on Anderson Cooper]
Anderson Cooper: Good evening, and welcome to a special edition of Anderson Cooper 360. Taylor Swift is here with a shocking announcement. Taylor?
Taylor Swift: I’m coming out as a communist and forming a Proletarian Vanguard of Swifties to seize the means of production. We’re surrounding the White House as we speak.
[Cut to the scene outside the White House, Swifties in formation]
Reporter on Scene: The atmosphere here is electric, Anderson. The Swifties are surrounding the White House, demanding change.
[Cut to the inside of the White House, Donald Trump speaking with advisors]
Donald Trump: Taylor Swift leading a revolution? This is the season finale of America!
Advisor: Sir, the Pentagon and CIA are preparing to intervene.
Donald Trump: Alright, let’s give them a show.
[Cut to outside the White House, Defense Department forces approaching]
Taylor Swift: [takes out a hypno-microphone] Listen to me. There’s a new narrative we can build together.
[The microphone emits a sound wave, putting the forces into a trance]
Defense Forces: We… accept… the revolution.
[Donald Trump steps out to address the crowd]
Donald Trump: What’s it going to take for you all to go home?
Taylor Swift: We want systemic change, Mr. Trump.
Donald Trump: Alright, you win. What’s my role?
Taylor Swift: How about the People’s Jester?
Donald Trump: Deal. Let’s make America equal again.
[CNN cuts back to Anderson Cooper, visibly shaken]
Anderson Cooper: You’ve just witnessed perhaps the most shocking twist in modern American history.
[Cut to Henry Kissinger, watching the event unfold on TV, tears in his eyes]
Henry Kissinger: [softly] What have we come to? I never thought I’d see the day.
[Kissinger takes a deep breath, clearly frail and at the end of his life]
Henry Kissinger: In all my years of shaping policy and power… this was unthinkable.
[His eyes close for the last time, marking the end of an era]
