After the Blackout is an official song for Ninjago, composed, and sung by The Fold. This song's vocals are noticeably more digital than most of The Fold's songs, in reference to the technology motif of the series' third season, or Blackout.
Lyrics[]
After the Blackout, there was darkness in the streets
The only light for miles and miles shined artificially
It looks like tech this time, no way to mask the lack of spine...
Don't mess with Ninjago 'cause we'll get you every time
(Get you every time!)
Then the lights came on! Brighter than ever before!
Can you see them shine?
Go Ninja! Go, go Ninja!
Won't let them fade! This city's meant for much more!
Gotta hear us shout!
Go Ninja! Go, go Ninja!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Stop! Go!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Ninja, go!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Light up!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Ninja, go!
After the Blackout, I could finally see
I knew the day would come when I would defend my home city
It looks like now's the time, that we should stand up for the fight
This Blackout's over and I'm ready for the light!!
Then the lights came on! Brighter than ever before!
Can you see them shine?
Go Ninja! Go, go Ninja!
Won't let them fade! This city's meant for much more!
Gotta hear us shout! Go Ninja! Go, go Ninja!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Stop! Go!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Ninja, go!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Light up!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Ninja, go!
Ninja (x16)
After the Blackout (x3)
After the Blackout, I am ready for the light!
Then the lights came on! Brighter than ever before!
Can you see them shine?
Go Ninja! Go, go Ninja!
Won't let them fade! This city's meant for much more!
Gotta hear us shout! Go Ninja! Go, go Ninja!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Stop! Go!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Ninja, go!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Light up!
Go, go Ninja! (3x) Ninja, go!
