[Verse 1] Yanbu took a hit, Jizan felt it too, Houthi strikes in twenty-six, sharper than they knew, Riyadh's main airport pulled into the fray, oil docks and runways, that's where the damage lay. Not a solar panel named, not one turbine torn, the record's clean on that — let that part be sworn. Fuego en el puerto, pero el panel sigue en pie, the grid keeps humming quiet while the smoke rises free. [Chorus] Energía y guerra, dos caminos, un país, power keeps on climbing even when the skies ignite. Dieciocho punto ocho, that's the gigawatt count, rising through the rockets, watch the numbers mount. No se apaga el sol, no, the sun don't clock out, even with the sirens, still the kilowatts sprout. [Verse 2] August read eighteen point eight gigawatts made, one point two short of twenty, that's the goal they laid. But hold up — don't conflate, don't mix the signs, reports range from eight up to nineteen-point-three lines. Conflate — that's confusing numbers, blurring two to one, the ministry's own math still a puzzle half undone. Still, from early July to August, one full gigawatt gained, built up during shelling — let that detail be explained. [Verse 3] Headline screamed "under fire," left the quiet part unsaid: developers submitted bids while the Houthi drones still fed. Five point three gigawatts, Round Seven, mid-September date, thirteen, fourteen, quiet paperwork outran the hate. Esto no es un cuento simple, blanco y negro, no señor — cranes keep rising even where the missiles scored. [Verse 4] Look past the border, look at the ports they guard, Jeddah's refinery steady, workers standing hard. Insurance rates climb higher, shipping lanes rerouted slow, but contracts for the panels, man, they still gotta go. Financiers in London still calling up Riyadh, asking about timelines, not asking "is it bad?" The war's a headline chapter, but the ledger's got its own, columns full of megawatts, numbers carved in stone. [Bridge] Seven PIF projects, fifteen thousand megawatts planned, landing between twenty-seven, twenty-eight, across the sand. ACLED's whispering of more retaliation near, analysts call thirty-gig-plus-hundred "aspirational," hear — meaning hopeful, maybe distant, not a promise carved in stone. Watch Round Seven's winners, watch if one more site gets blown. [Chorus] Energía y guerra, dos caminos, un país, power keeps on climbing even when the skies ignite. Dieciocho punto ocho, that's the gigawatt count, rising through the rockets, watch the numbers mount. No se apaga el sol, no, the sun don't clock out, even with the sirens, still the kilowatts sprout. [Outro] So the headline shouts the fire, pero mira bien el dato — one gigawatt still rose up, quietly, intacto. Watch the awards in winter, watch the wires hold, Gulf News, close the fingerpicked chord, story told.
