Full-Node Heart (A Song Inspired by Bitcoin, Privacy & Cypherpunk Theory)

(Verse 1)

I run my node against the tide,

Block by block, I verify.

No king nor crown can set the rules,

I choose my fate, I don’t subsume.

Encrypted keys under my skin,

Cashless chains but freedom’s wind.

Peer to peer, we break the mould,

A decentralized heart of gold.

(Pre-Chorus)

They watch the streets, they read the feeds,

But truth ain’t theirs to twist and seize.

Privacy ain’t something lost,

We pay the cost - we pay the cost.

(Chorus)

I’m a full-node heart in a world on chain,

Sovereign soul where the free remain.

No central chain that binds my will,

I build, resist, I stand still.

Freedom’s ledger writes my name,

In blocks of fire, in block reward flame.

(Verse 2)

Surveillance shadows in the night,

But torches burn with cypherlight.

Identity in bits and keys,

Self-sovereign in ecstasies.

No fiat king nor state decree,

Can take the code that sets me free.

From coinjoin steps to lightning paths,

We weave new math, we do the math.

(Pre-Chorus)

Privacy’s not crime or sin,

It’s the space where life begins.

We choose what parts we show,

No overseer tells us so.

(Chorus)

I’m a full-node heart in a world on chain,

Sovereign soul where the free remain.

No central chain that binds my will,

I build, resist, I stand still.

Freedom’s ledger writes my name,

In blocks of fire, in block reward flame.

(Bridge)

Cypherpunk dreams in midnight code,

Freedom seeds on every node.

A parallel world beneath their gaze,

Silent in the global blaze.

(Final Chorus)

I’m a full-node heart where the blocks align,

Privacy and code entwined.

No force too great, no rule to bind,

The sovereign mind - the sovereign mind.

In open source, our hope unsealed,

In every hash, truth is revealed.
