The Sleeping Giant (Arsenal of Democracy)
[Verse 1] Sitting across the ocean, the Great Depression bites I’ve got undisturbed isolation, I’m staying out of fights Watching the tension ticking, fifteen, twenty percent Congress won't let me mobilize, my political power's spent Building a little infrastructure, waiting out the years While the old world across the water is drowning in its tears [Pre-Chorus] But then the number hits a hundred, the focus tree is clear The Giant is awaking, the final act is here Change the law to War Economy, the debuffs wash away Now look at my production line, I'm pumping out the grey! [Chorus] Oh, the Arsenal of Democracy is firing up the lines! A thousand military factories, the brightest steel that shines From the shipyards in the west to the bombers in the east We're feeding every allied front, unleashing the machine beast You woke the sleeping giant, now there’s nowhere left to run We’ll blot out the entire sky, and drop the second sun! [Verse 2] Two hundred dockyards working, spitting carriers in the sea We’re island-hopping through the waves, to set the ocean free Sherman tanks are rolling out by the thousands every week The enemy logistics lines are looking rather bleak Got air supremacy in Europe, maxed out the radar tech I’m sending lend-lease to the world, just writing out the check [Bridge] We don't need to micro, we don't need finesse We just battleplan the frontline and clean up all the mess Manhattan Project's finished, the bombers take to flight We’re turning off the enemy, and saying our goodnights! [Guitar Solo - Bluesy, loud and American] [Chorus] Oh, the Arsenal of Democracy is firing up the lines! A thousand military factories, the brightest steel that shines From the shipyards in the west to the bombers in the east We're feeding every allied front, unleashing the machine beast You woke the sleeping giant, now there’s nowhere left to run We’ll blot out the entire sky, and drop the second sun! [Outro] Logistics fulfilled. Green air everywhere. The game is over. (Fade out with roaring bomber engines and an electric guitar chord)
