One Thousand Terawatts
Fire the Z-Machine
The filigree spree free
Fusion, factor of three

Rapid discharge fusing
Capacitors magnets
Implode, ignite,
IGNITE!
Fusion, factor of three

I see power, POWER!
I see endless
POWER!
Environmentally
Providing the city nights
Fusion, factor of three…

(Current power production of the "Z-machine" is 290 terawatts, 1000 terawatts are needed to start fusion.
