Just a bit of fun from Renee and I. If you're a listener, you know that Marc believes that double-entry bookkeeping might be the most important technological innovation ever. But...just maybe...he's willing to concede that the venerable Shipping Container might be up there with double-entry.  

It's silly, heavy, and catchy. Have a listen.

Here are the lyrics:
[Verse]
Steel walls rise
Fortress of trade
Born to conquer
Empires made
Stacked like giants
Towering high
Bridging oceans
Piercing sky

[Prechorus]
Silent sentinels
Hold the load
Carrying dreams down every road

[Chorus]
Steel titans of the world
Unite!
Through storm and flame
They fight the night
Boundless cargo
They bear the weight
The world spins on
They seal our fate

[Verse 2]
Rust and scars
Yet still they stand
Forged in fire
Shaped by hand
From ports of chaos to shores of peace
Every journey
Their might released

[Prechorus]
They hold the lifeblood
Unseen
Untold
A universe within
In steel they mold

[Chorus]
Steel titans of the world
Unite!
Through storm and flame
They fight the night
Boundless cargo
They bear the weight
The world spins on
They seal our fate
