Countdown to Blackstart
Verse 1 (Countdown: 10)
Ten years out, they say transition’s the key,
New energy, clean air, and all will be free.
But the grid’s unstable, can’t carry the load,
As we countdown to blackstart, that’s the road.
The system’s stretched thin, promises they’ve sold,
While the lights flicker out, the truth’s getting cold.
A blackout looms, the pressure’s real tight,
Countdown’s begun, who’s ready for the fight?
Chorus
Countdown to blackstart, it’s all falling down,
From the top to the bottom, who’s holdin’ the crown?
We’re ticking down now, it’s the end of the run,
When the lights go out, there’s nowhere to run.
We’re racing the clock, but who’s ready to lead?
When blackstart hits, it’s survival we need.
Verse 2 (Countdown: 9 to 5)
Nine years in, they pushin’ the same line,
Wind and solar up, but the power’s in decline.
Eight, seven, the warnings went ignored,
Now the system’s crashing—there's no time for more.
Six years left, and they still drag their feet,
Five years ‘til it’s dark on every city street.
Countdown to blackstart, the race is real,
Who’s left prepared, who’s ready to feel?
Chorus
Countdown to blackstart, it’s all falling down,
From the top to the bottom, who’s holdin’ the crown?
We’re ticking down now, it’s the end of the run,
When the lights go out, there’s nowhere to run.
We’re racing the clock, but who’s ready to lead?
When blackstart hits, it’s survival we need.
Verse 3 (Countdown: 4 to 1)
Four years now, and the cracks start to show,
Three years left, infrastructure’s too slow.
Two years close, no plan in sight,
One last push and the whole world’s in the night.
The blackstart's comin’, ain’t nowhere to hide,
Better hold onto something—get ready to ride.
Countin’ down the years, months, minutes to the fall,
When the system collapses, we’re left with it all.
Chorus
Countdown to blackstart, it’s all falling down,
From the top to the bottom, who’s holdin’ the crown?
We’re ticking down now, it’s the end of the run,
When the lights go out, there’s nowhere to run.
We’re racing the clock, but who’s ready to lead?
When blackstart hits, it’s survival we need.
Outro
The countdown’s done, and the blackstart’s begun,
No more waiting, the night’s finally come.
Will you stand or will you fall, in the blackout storm?
The countdown to blackstart—there’s no more norm.
