Armies of steel, machines of destruction
Echoes of war in a cold barren place
Millions destroyed, all hope is shattered
But deep below ground a fighter awaits

Man's striking back, the tables are turning
The network conspires, an ingenious plan
An invincible warrior, he has to go back
To reshape the future, changing the past

Programmed to fight, faster than light
A murderous mission of menace and might
Powered to kill, his one deadly skill
The fate of man lies in his hands
Knowing no fear, feeling no pain
No grief, no compassion, no guilt and no shame
Built to attack, he will be back
The fate of man lies in his hands

Born in the ruins, a smoldering wasteland
Out of the ashes a man will arise!
A hero at heart, a powerful soldier
Has come across time for the love of his life

He must be insane, a paranoid madman
No one believes him, they don't understand
But if we don't heed him our time here won't last
He'll salvage the future, protecting the past

The battle is won, father to son
The danger has passed now the creature is gone
His eyes have gone black, he won't be back
The fate of man lies in his hands

The cycle's complete, the timeline restored
Mankind is ready for this future war
Will we survive, come out alive
The fate of man lies in his hands
The fate of man, now in our hands

Open your eyes, chosen one: a storm is coming
Time to rise and heed my call
A void will grow where time and space collide
28 days till the end of time
28 days till the end of time

You are the one, face your quest:
And unwind the future
A crack in space, a glitch in time
The countdown is on,
No you can't ignore the sign
28 days till the end of time
28 days till the end of time

Something's not right here
Why did I survive
Awake in a nightmare
I should have just died

Something's not right here
Why did I survive
Awake in a nightmare
I should have just died

You're all alone, sole receiver
You're on your own, trapped in time
Expand your mind, disbeliever
Unlock the rage that burns inside

No one can help you, no one understands
Stranded in time, no masterplan
I'm here to guide you, lift this fated curse
Follow the path, save the universe
Save this universe

Don't be afraid, sole receiver
Your sacrifice will not be in vain
I'm here to guide you, lift this fated curse
Follow the path, save the universe
Save this universe

I'm not afraid anymore
Now I understand
This is my destiny
This is the end

I'm not afraid anymore
Now I understand
This is my destiny
This is the end

Abe:
Here let me show you -
Even though a mere 3 days have passed
This protein, it typically takes 6 years to amass

Aaron:
Abe, I'm trying, I really am

Abe:
Now, all the lab guys don't believe -
They think that it's a joke
So I put my watch inside
And counted back the strokes

Aaron:
Honestly, it's just hard for me to understand

Abe:
Yes I know but take a look here
At the hands...

Aaron:
No, I believe you,
I really do, but let's not overreach
This thing is not just pure mechanics and/or heat

Abe:
Back and forth inside a loop

Aaron:
Right, so we build a box
That's big enough to fit into?
Something private and secure...
You know what we could use?

Abe:
I want you to see it, trust me though,
I'm not pranking you

Aaron:
Abe, who is that?
What the... who is... is it you?
Who cares if every moment isn't perfect?
It hasn't disappeared...
We can reverse engineer things,
Making every 'choice' immaculate and ideal
So what if every perfect moment, isn't?
That moment reappears and...
The chances infinite,
We can just keep on going back -
Relive the past until we time it tight. Get it right.

Abe:
We should just play the market -
Let's not interfere

Aaron:
Capture every word

Abe:
We'll hide ourselves
Until our doubles disappear

Aaron:
All you saw and heard

Abe:
I don't believe in predetermined destiny

Aaron:
Well tell me which is worse

Abe:
Thinking your paranoid,
Or knowing you should be?

Both:
Zero - photon - hero - gluon

Aaron:
I know exactly every act and variant
I'm all-encompassing now - I am prescient
One journey after another,
All over and under, mere hours behind

Abe:
Enter the failsafe

Aaron:
One falls back into the other,
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned

Abe:
And try again

Aaron:
One journey after another,
All over and under, mere hours behind

Abe:
Exit the failsafe

Aaron:
One falls back into the other,
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned
It's all intertwined

Both:
A end - B end and A end B...
On we go again

Aaron:
I think I'm getting used to
All these 30-hour days
But I can't get my hands to work,
I just scrawl across the page

Abe:
Aaron, how can you have no fear?

Aaron: I can drug and hide my doubles
As I reappear
If only I could somehow stop
This bleeding from my ears...

Abe:
I can't stop you, but Aaron,
Don't ever come back here

Aaron:
I'll build a bigger one.
Go back entire years!

Both:
Who cares if every moment isn't perfect?
It hasn't disappeared...
We can reverse engineer things,
Making every choice immaculate and ideal

Abe:
I don't believe in predetermined destiny

Aaron:
Tell me which is worse

Abe:
Thinking you're paranoid,
Or knowing you should be?

Aaron:
One journey after another,
All over and under, mere hours behind

Abe:
Destroy the failsafe

Aaron:
One falls back into another,
All over and under, yet somehow aligned

Abe:
And start again

Aaron:
One journey after another,
All over and under, mere hours behind

Abe:
Destroy the failsafe

Aaron:
One falls back into the other,
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned
It's all intertwined

Both:
A end - B end and back to
A end, B end and...?

School or a date, you'll always be late
Your head in the clouds
Your father a geek, your mother a freak
Don't you end up like them, no no

Enter a man with a crazy plan
A wild machine the world's never seen
Jump inside this strange device and ride

Coming back from the past
Out of time, make it fly, make it fast
Going back to the future
Hold on tight, make it right, make it last

Oh newly arrived back in old '55
You're not even alive yet
But what have you done... mother and son
You're fading away, yeah

This is not the end so find your friend
You're not alone, he'll get you home
Jump inside this strange device and ride

And when the lightning strikes
You have to be precise
Exactly ten-o-four
And not a second before

And when the lightning strikes
You're in the lap of the gods
You have to be precise
The final turn of the cards
Exactly ten-o-four, you can't afford a mistake
And not a second before, the final roll of the dice

That fatal night, caught in a fight
Your lives are in danger
They come at you hard so please be on your guard
In the wink of an eye, you will die

Enter a man with a crazy plan
A wild machine the world's never seen
Jump inside this strange device and ride

And when the lightning strikes
You have to be precise
Exactly ten-o-four
And not a second before

Yes, you can be anywhere that you wanna be
See everything that you wanna see
Oh, you can chill anywhere that you wanna chill
Hang any place that you wanna hang out

Now you can go any place that you wanna go
Meet all the babes that you wanna know

You need to learn everything
That you oughta learn
In any world that you wanna explore

Climb aboard this strange machine
Hang on, enjoy the ride
Jump into this crazy dream
Step inside and let it...

Fly high revel in time, bask in the past
Dive into the mist of time and face the future
Inside our time machine
Hurl - swirl - change the world, run for your life
Twist and shake the laws of space and time
Live out this crazy dream
Fly - high - revel in time, you are the ones
Save the flow of history and meet your destiny

Here to preserve our society
It's hard to conceive you're the Great Ones
You'll end all war and poverty

Climb aboard this strange machine
Hang on, enjoy the ride
Jump into this crazy dream
Step inside and let it fly

Napoleon Bonaparte, Beethoven
Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Abe Lincoln
Sigmund Freud, Socrates, and Billy
Snatched from time,
Kidnapped from the annals of history

Learn everything that you oughta learn
In any world that you wanna explore

Lightning strikes as we sail toward the light
Then the day turns to night
A storm is raging, waves are crashing down
Fear and chaos all around

The sound of thunder, pounding in our ears
The world around us disappears
Tensions high, a portal in the sky
As we all vanish in the light

Restore the past, derail the future
What will the future hold
Are we to change the course of history?
This story yet untold

This is the year of '41
And the war has just begun
But we can change the path of time
We must defy the laws of nature
Let's see what lies ahead
We are the masters of our destiny
What will we find instead
Is this the reason we were cast
40 years into the past
Now we can change it

Are we but players inside a game
Some crazy simulation
An army toy, a military ploy
Some other means to destroy

Or did we really travel back in time
To a world undefined
A twist of fate, an ancient date
An altered state, a cosmic gate

Once upon a magic night
Once upon a golden dream
A veil of light dancing in the sky
A dazzling show of glistening beams

Anticipation in the air
Vibrations everywhere
Two worlds united beneath the midnight sun
Two souls entwined in the web of life
Reaching across the arc of time

So long ago, so far away
That night they sailed, high on a distant wave
A voice of old, of bygone days
That night they cried, high on the bridge of life
So high on the bridge of life

Reaching back into the past
Those very hours could be his last
"Ignore the signs, go the other way"
He wasn't meant to die that day
Trapped inside the fiery maze

The paradox of time
Beware, despair, ramifications
The sacrifice of life
Can't bear, repair the complications
Ride the skywaves
Across the bridge to the other side
Span the decades
The unity of father and child

Poor poor Billy has a bad day
Poor poor Billy has a bad day, Billy has
He hates his job, he's such a snob
Them goddamn hicks sure make him sick
It's such a bad day
Poor poor Billy has a bad day, Billy has

Today is yesterday
Again and again

Mad mad Billy's going... psycho
Going round and round and then up and down and around again
Mad mad Billy's going psycho, Billy is
Going back and forth and then here and there and back again
Trapped inside this coil in time
Scream or shout, there is no way out
He's going psycho
Mad mad Billy's going psycho, Billy is

He lost his aim, each day the same
He's had enough of this boring game
It's the same old song, time drags on
There is nothing he can do about it

Round the clock, it never stops
He can end his life, do whatever he likes
But it's all in vain, he can't explain
There is nothing he can do about it
No, there's nothing he can do about it

Going around in a circle
Again and again and again into forever
The magic of love is eternal
Again and again and again
Don't you forget it now

Today is yesterday
Again and again
Will it ever be tomorrow
Again and again

Bad bad Billy has a sly plan
Going round and round and then up and down and around again
Bad bad Billy has a sly plan, Billy has
Going back and forth and then here and there and back again
To catch her eye and light her fire
He pulls her strings to reel her in
Will he now succeed, will she concede
There is something he can do about it

Will love prevail, a fairy tale
Will she now give in, will he ever win
Can he break this spell and end this hell
There is something he can do about it

He lost his aim, each day the same
He got so tired of this boring game
Yes the same old song, time dragged on
There was nothing he could do about it

Around the clock, it never stopped
He could end his life, do whatever he liked
It was all in vain, he couldn't explain
There was something he could do about it
Yes there was something he could do about it

Going around in a circle
Again and again and again into forever
The magic of love is eternal
Again and again and again
Don't you forget it now

Waking up in a bad dream
You don't know if it's real or a sim
Where are you going
Do you even recall where you've been

Going round in a circle
You don't know if you're dead or alive
You're stuck in this minefield
You know you could never survive

You're just a hand on the clock
A cog in their machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
And time is running out - time's running out

You can't trace him, you can't chase him
A grey and nameless mass, no one stands out
You can't match him, you can't catch him
A shadow on the wall, a face in the crowd

You can't track him or attack him
In here nobody stands out
You can't hurt him, confront him
Just another face in the crowd

Waking up in the darkness
You discover it's all in your mind
You're locked in a cycle
You want out, but you can't die

Getting lost in this new real
Getting back to the past
They say you can't change it
But you know there is always a chance

You can't match him, you can't catch him
A shadow on the wall, a face in the crowd

You can't track him or attack him
In here nobody stands out
You can't hunt him, confront him
Just another face in the crowd

It's completed, he's defeated
A new time created for all
You saved them, you gave them
A new future to explore

Entrapped in eternity
Condemned to infinity
Locked in perpetuity
For all time, forever and ever

Concealed in the shadows,
On the fringe of time
They lie in waiting, in dark they hide
A small deviation, one tiny flaw
They breach the barrier,
Break down the wall

Then they arise out of nowhere,
Guardians of time
Assigned to save us from a force malign
Inside they've always known
Their fate was determined
No one will ever hear their call
Outside those walls
Beyond the edge of it all

From the 4th dimension,
The solitude of space
They guard the timeline,
Protect our race
A bedtime story, a photograph
An old railway station,
All remnants from the past

Entrapped in eternity
Condemned to infinity
Locked in perpetuity
For all time, forever and ever

Entrapped in eternity no, no
Condemned to infinity it's all over
Locked in perpetuity we all fall down
For all time, forever and ever

Entrapped in eternity operators
Condemned to infinity investigators
Locked in perpetuity infiltrators
For all time, forever and ever manipulators

Entrapped in eternity
Turn away from the past
Condemned to infinity let go at last
Locked in perpetuity escape from time
For all time, forever and ever
Leave it all behind

They were taken, forsaken
Will we ever hear their call
Beyond the edge of it all

Storms are blazing over barren lands
Stars are fading in the skies
Our world is dying
Her precious life, soon a memory
Our race will not survive
We all know... it's over

Ghostly signs from another world
Mysterious symbols reappear
An unworldly warning
A guiding light from the maze of time
Our race may just survive
There is hope... it's not over
It's not over...

Fuga!
Finis mundi omnes imminet
Sola via est scientia
Sed inceptum est mortiferum
Agendum est!
Perdurus - agilis - iuvenis
Olim natam revisat

Time is our enemy
As we depart into the great unknown
Setting forth for worlds beyond
Into the blackness

Time is our enemy
As we depart into the great unknown
Setting forth for worlds beyond
Into the blackness

Captured by gravity
We journey on towards the cosmic void
And make our way across the galaxy
In search of our future
In search of a dream
In search of our lives

We are the future, we own the stars
We are explorers, the sky is ours
The sky is ours
We are the keepers, a million souls
The lost children of the universe

Caught in a quandary
Save the billions we abandoned
Or save the future of humanity
In search of our new home
In search of a dream
In search of our lives

We are the future, we own the stars
We are explorers, the sky is ours
The sky is ours
We are the keepers, a million souls
The lost children of the universe
As we are reaching for the stars

Fuga!
Terra tremit fame horrida
Finis mundi omnes imminet
Spes salutis paret minima
Sola via est scientia
Inter stellas nova patria
Sed inceptum est mortiferum
Tempus fugit
Agendum est!

Pater - perdurus - audax - agilis - amor - iuvenis
Olim natam revisat
Nata - cupiens - amans - aspera - ira - vetula
Olim patrem revisat

We are the future, we own the stars
We are explorers, the sky is ours
We are the keepers, a million souls
The lost children of the universe
As we are reaching for the stars

Can you feel me in this coil of time
Can you find me in this maze
In this dimension
Deep down you know it was always me
Our race will now survive
A new start... it's not over
