Ten Billion Percent
Stuck in stone for thousands of years, he wakes up and rebuilds civilization from nothing, one experiment at a time. I love how he treats science as the answer to despair: if you can't fix everything, figure out the next thing and build it. Sometimes that's all you've got to bridge the gap between where you are and what you need.

Wake up!
The world went gray and the clocks all stopped
But the logic didn't break when the status dropped
I’m waking up in a kingdom of weeds
With a million years of the data I need
No tools in the dirt and no spark in the sky
But I’ve got the how and I’ve got the why
Collect the shells and the nitric stain
There's a blueprint burning inside my brain
From the calcium carbonate to the heat of the forge
Crossing the gap of the primitive gorge
It’s not a miracle, it’s not a ghost
It’s the leverage that humanity values the most
Ten billion percent, I’m rewriting the rules
Turning the stones into surgical tools
From the bronze to the iron to the silicon age
I’m the only one turning the final page
Science is the weapon, science is the key
Engineering the world that I’m gonna see (Ten billion percent!)
I’m building a team in a village of old
Turning their labor into tactical gold
One makes the glass and one pulls the wire
Feeding the belly of the industrial fire
We’re making the sulfa, we’re making the light
Turning the darkness into the bright
We aren't just surviving, we’re taking it back
One single catalyst, one single track
From the calcium carbonate to the heat of the forge
Crossing the gap of the primitive gorge
It’s not a miracle, it’s not a ghost
It’s the leverage that humanity values the most
Ten billion percent, I’m rewriting the rules
Turning the stones into surgical tools
From the bronze to the iron to the silicon age
I’m the only one turning the final page
Science is the weapon, science is the key
Engineering the world that I’m gonna see
Ten billion percent!
Process the elements
Filter the salt
Charge the battery
Shatter the vault
Vacuum the tube
Capture the sound
The kingdom of science is claiming the ground
Logic! Reason! Progress! Power!
Ten billion percent, I’m rewriting the rules
Turning the stones into surgical tools
From the bronze to the iron to the silicon age
I’m the only one turning the final page
Science is the weapon, science is the key
Engineering the world that I’m gonna see
I’ll see you in the future
Start the engine
Calculations are perfect
Ten billion percent
