Lyrics

Intro

Uh

Real talk

The room is getting hotter

Politicians playing with the water

Verse 1

Concrete melting under European sun

No place left to run

Tarmac turns to liquid in the lane

Check the profit check the pain

The Strait of Hormuz tightens like a fist

List the names of those we missed

Oil rigs rising from the northern deep

While the common people sleep

National security is just a mask they wear

Lungs filled with toxic air

Pre-Chorus

It is getting dark now

It is getting cold now

Watch the grid fail

Watch the ships sail

Chorus

Lights out in the harbor tonight

Lights out losing the fight

Net zero feels like a distant dream

While we fracture at the seam

Lights out when the cables break

Lights out for goodness sake

The price of gold

The lies they told

Verse 2

Rory and Alastair mapping out the mess

Power lines under stress

We traded sovereignty for pipelines in the snow

Now we reap the wind we blow

Moscow holds the trigger on the heat

Hungry ghosts upon the street

Data centers drinking every kilowatt we find

Leaving everyone behind

Silicon dreams needing mountains of coal

Just to satisfy the soul

Pre-Chorus

It is getting dark now

It is getting cold now

Watch the grid fail

Watch the ships sail

Chorus

Lights out in the harbor tonight

Lights out losing the fight

Net zero feels like a distant dream

While we fracture at the seam

Lights out when the cables break

Lights out for goodness sake

The price of gold

The lies they told

Bridge

Jørgensen says clean is cheap

Promises we try to keep

Homegrown power

Final hour

Homegrown power

Final hour

No more masters

Just disasters

Chorus

Lights out in the harbor tonight

Lights out losing the fight

Net zero feels like a distant dream

While we fracture at the seam

Lights out when the cables break

Lights out for goodness sake

The price of gold

The lies they told
