1. THE DAY THAT THE WORLD BREAKS DOWN

[Chronicle 1: The Frame]

[The Historian (James LaBrie):]
A silence so deafening
As the stillness surrounds us
A rush of fear is surging through our veins

A shadows so menacing
Darkens our horizon
What have we done
Is this the end
When death descends

[The Opposition Leader (Tommy Karevik):]
Don't say I didn't warn you
You'll recall my words
The day that the world breaks down

Don't claim you didn't see it
Are you prepared to die
The day that the world breaks down

[The Chemist (Tommy Rogers):]
I can't believe we're in danger
I can't believe that we've let it come this far

[The Counselor (Simone Simmons):]
We must prepare for the changes
We must prepare for
The day that the world breaks down

[The Opposition Leader (Tommy Karevik):]
Don't expect we will survive this
There will be no way back
The day that the world breaks down

Don't assume it's all a nightmare
Won't stand a chance
The day that the world breaks down

[The Chemist (Tommy Rogers):]
I can't believe this is happening
I can't believe we are headed
For a fall

[The Counselor (Simone Simmons):]
We must prepare for the blackening
We must prepare for
The day that the world breaks down

[The Prophet (Nils K. Rue):]
I can feel it in my heart
I can see it in the stars
Behold: It's all been foretold
The future unfolds
The day that the world breaks down

[The Captain (Tobias Sammet):]
I always knew this would happen
Not many believed in my cause
I'm sure they will all turn to me now
I'm sure I'm the only one
Who can save us
From this fate

[TH-1:]
(StarBlade)

[The Captain:]
From this fate

[The Captain (Tobias Sammet):]
I always knew they would need me
Not many showed faith in my plans
I'm sure they will ascend to me now
I'm sure that I'm the only one
Who can save us

[TH-1:]
(StarBlade)

[The Captain:]
From this fate

[The Astronomer (Hansi Kursch):]
Yes I believe you are the answer
Yes I agree you are the key
Your future lies in the heavens
Our future lies beyond (the stars)

[TH-1:]
(the StarBlade)

[The Astronomer (Hansi Kursch):]
We will save them

[TH-1:]
(StarBlade)

[The Astronomer (Hansi Kursch):]
We will save them

[TH-1:]
(StarBlade)

[The Astronomer (Hansi Kursch):]
From this fate

[The President (Russell Allen):]
I must've been blind
I mean it should've been obvious
Straight out of my mind
To rely on a cold machine

The signs were strong
I know I was wrong
I know they will hate me now
But I will come clean
And destroy this cold machine

[The Diplomat (Michael Eriksen):]
This is not over
Not as long as we're alive
If we join our forces
We will make it

This is not over
As a race we must survive
And in the end we will
Cross this bridge... together

[The President (Russell Allen):]
We're losing this fight
And yes - we got ourselves to blame
I guess it seems right
In the mind of the cold machine

I'll fix every flaw
I'll break every law
I'll tear up the rulebook
If that's what it takes
You will see
I will crush this cold machine

[The Diplomat (Michael Eriksen):]
This is not over
I am sure we will find a way
Out of this desperate situation

This is not over
Even if it all seems hopeless
For in the end we'll cross this bridge
Together

[The Biologist (Floor Jansen):]
I can feel it in the air
The signs are everywhere
Communications' ground to a halt
Traffic has stopped
The grid starts to fail
Planes crashing down
We're getting closer to
The day the world breaks down

3. EVERYBODY DIES

[TH1]
This isn't good
No this is not good at all

Mayday, mayday, mayday

You're all gonna die
Everybody dies! Dies! Dies! Dies!

Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!

Abandon, evacuate, get out of here!

Oh no, you live like you did and you thought everything would be fine?
Now you scamper and run, but you've already run out of time
It's rotting and deteriorating from the inside
There's no way to stop it
And clearly there's nowhere to hide
Calculation of survival rate 0%

Doom, gloom, the world goes boom
None will be spared so don't assume
Not ragged clothed nor silver spooned
You're all the same when extinction looms

[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist]

No food supplies, no water supplies
No power supplies or other supplies
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
And everybody dies!

No explanation or clarification
No information or justification
Forget the whys, just cover your eyes
And everybody dies!

[TH1]

Oh no! It's not like your screaming can some who elongate your life
You're best off to shut up and calm down and wait for it

[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist]

The world is black, there's no way back
You're way off the track, no plan of attack
So recognize your pending demise
And everybody dies!

[The President]

And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out

Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!

[TH1]

Oh no! Now holding your breath isn't going to bide you more time
You're best off to lay down and curl up and wait for it

[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist]

The ultimate blast will be the last
And when it's passed, so terribly fast
It blinds your eyes, you're paralyzed
And everybody dies!

The soil'll be red where people have bled
The cities all dead, radiation will spread
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
And everybody dies

[The Astronomer]

And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out

Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!

[The Diplomat]

Don't give up, we are still breathing
Don't give in, that's what they want
Don't despair, just keep believing
Don't lose heart, we'll blast our way out of here

Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!

Abandon! Evacuate!

[The Captain]

Follow me to a place beyond us
Follow me to another world
Time is short, the hour's upon us
Follow me to the stars

[TH1]

Oh yes! Not the ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try
The chances are slim but perhaps you could make it alive?

[The Biologist]

And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out

And in the end beyond the violence
No humans will be found
A quantum supernova's blasted out

[TH1]

Then ominous skies materialize
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
And everybody dies!

14. THE SOURCE WILL FLOW

[The Chemist:]
Let go
The source will flow
Awaken our senses
And assume control

Inside
The source provides
Nourish our spirit
Dominate our mind

[The Historian:]
But deep inside our hearts
Hides a secret yearning
To a former life in a distant world in another time
Now a lost desire

And deep inside our minds
Lives a hidden longing
To a former life in a distant world in another time
But a hopeless dream
A desperate wish
A lost desire

[The Counselor:]
Upon the waves of eternity
We drift away from the past
Into an ocean of time
To the source of life

Upon the tides of infinity
We break away from the shame
Into a sea of relief
To a life complete

Upon the waves of eternity
We drift away from the past
Into an ocean of time
To the source of life

Upon the tides of infinity
We break away from the shame
Into a sea of relief
To a life complete

[The Chemist:]
No frame
The source sustains
Feed our existence
Alleviate our pain

Let go
The source will flow
Soothe our senses
Assume control
