The Enlightenment Age (Chapter 8)

[Verse 1] Old thrones tremble under reason’s bright flame Declarations signed in a new world’s name Liberty calls from across the wide sea Revolution whispers, “Man, you are free” I walk the salons with ink on my hands Doubtful of kings and their ancient commands She stands beside me, her eyes full of fire Together we chase this enlightened desire [Chorus] Enlightenment Age, we awaken the mind Reason and liberty, leaving the blind Self-determination in a world breaking free Revolution’s spark lights the path we now see Nations now form, families grow large No one to say, that we're not in charge The old orders fall, the new dawn arrives In her warm hand, I find the strength to survive [Verse 2] Explorers sail where the maps used to end Philosophers dream what the future will send American fields and French streets ignite With cries for freedom under new morning light Documents seal what the people demand No more divine right to rule over land We build our own fate with the tools of the age Love in the chaos, turning the page [Chorus] Enlightenment Age, we awaken the mind Reason and liberty, leaving the blind Self-determination in a world breaking free Revolution’s spark lights the path we now see Nations now form, families grow large No one to say, that we're not in charge The old orders fall, the new dawn arrives In her warm hand, I find the strength to survive [Bridge] Stone sparked the fire when the world was blank Copper brought passion, to you I now thank Bronze built dwellings, iron taught me strife Darkness taught calmness, Middle Age drew the knife Renaissance painted the beauty we craved Now reason awakens the soul we have saved… [Outro] Enlightenment… burning… One idea, one right, one truth worth returning We rise… we declare… The chains disappear… One revolution at a time... (But machines are coming… the wheels will turn near…) (The world will transform… will we disappear…?) (Man and machine...) (A union to fear...?) © Chrome Station 2026 All Rights Reserved
