War of Currents Lyrics

Once again, a time appeared
Of science in change, (a) new century
Two men out, they saw it clear
A story worth, worth to hear:

Fighting for the future, (as) generators rose
Genius inventors, electric power source

Edison, he was known across the land
At Menlo Park, forged his universal plan
Proud and apt, visions formed in Tesla's head:
Improve the state, less power shed

Fighting for the future, ambition spurred them on
In this "War Of Currents", light for everyone

Rivals, two systems would prevail
Contending, the masters of their time
Direct current, poor long range delivery
Alternating, high voltage cause of death?

Refrain
Will you find the key? The source of modern mankind. Will you find the key?

Greed and slander, the battle rages on
Death row, "they should have used an axe"
While investors, sought the millions from their way
Who is the man, who'll make a change for all?

Refrain

Will you find the key? The source of modern mankind
Will you find the key? A new age will remain
Will you find the key? Tame this power
Electricity

A new world
A new world
A new world

Solo

In the aftermath, a city glows in AC light
By the power, of Niagara Falls
War has found an end, left the two forlorn behind
While the world progressed through these rivals of their time

Refrain

Outro

War Of Currents
Mistreated saviour, forgotten hero
World in motion
The source of modern mankind
A new age will remain
