The Gathering Storm (Civilization VI Rap)
[Verse 1]
Went from raising cattle, to raising stone-built castles
Raised an army that can raise a nation bad like babel
Equipped our horse with saddles, got swords and armored mantles
Then swapped it out for quills and ink to fight the coming battles
You see we fight with words, no need for rusted spurs
Don't fear the spears no more, the arrows leave us undeterred
We make our voices heard, we leave the borders blurred
So when we speak our voicе is echoed all around the Earth
Wеll that would be preferred, that we could coexist
But I will not hesitate, don't wanna see me pissed
I'll take the whole damn hand, I won't just slap your wrist
And when we're in your land, we cannot be dismissed
From the Maori to the Inca, Sweden to Phoenicia
Beat ya bloody, raw, to teach ya, eat ya kingdom, all it's features
Great artists, great writers, great prophets and preachers
We're dominating, great time to take a breather

[Verse 2]
We colonised the Earth, she gave us all she had
The coal we mined, the ores we find, we took all we could grab
So proud of every nation, pumping smokes from ironclads
Just pay some mind to this decline and you won't feel so glad
Consigned to fates we've earned, from every tree we burned
Our mother nature's done with favors that won't be returned
So when your cities drowned in ashes don't look too concerned
It might be cruel but it's a lesson that we have to learn
Changed our goal at last, it really took this long
To realise the power we can harness from the sun
The wind and tide provide, but we're the foolish ones
For pumping oil up from the deep instead of using 'em
We need to make a change, not too late to reform
We need to rearrange before things start to feel too warm
I know this might be strange, however, be informed
You are not strong enough to weather the Gathering Storm
