Energy Makes Civilisations
Verse 1
Back when the fire was a mystery glow,
Humans huddled in the ice and snow,
One spark lit the dark like a rising sun,
And suddenly the future had begun.
Wheels started turning, rivers got chained,
Wind filled the sails and the empires came,
From torchlight streets to neon skies,
Every age was powered by a brand-new rise.
Pre-Chorus
Coal in the furnace, steam in the vein,
Lightning dancing through copper rain,
Every heartbeat, every machine
Runs on the pulse of the unseen dream.
Chorus
Energy makes civilisations!
From pyramids to space stations,
Every tower, every train,
Every byte inside your brain.
Energy makes civilisations!
Fueling songs and revolutions,
When the current starts to flow,
That’s when human rivers grow!
Hey! Hey!
Turn the engines on!
Hey! Hey!
We are made of dawn!
Verse 2
Oil burned hot through the roaring years,
Factories thundered loud as cheers,
Cities bloomed with electric veins,
Nighttime glittered like meteor rain.
Now the rooftops catch the sun,
Batteries hum where the rivers run,
Fusion dreams in a scientist’s eyes,
Tomorrow crackles and amplifies.
Bridge
A child with a lantern,
A village with light,
A satellite waking
The edge of the night.
The story of humans
Is simple to trace:
Find more energy
Expand into space!
Final Chorus
Energy makes civilisations!
Building futures for the nations,
From campfire ash to quantum beams,
Everything begins with dreams.
Energy makes civilisations!
Powering hopes and generations,
And the stars are waiting there
If we learn the strength to share!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Hear the turbines sing!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Feel the whole world spin!
Outro
So guard the flame,
And share the light,
The next great age
Is ours tonight.
