[Historian] A silence so deafening, as the stillness surrounds us
A rush of fear is surging through our veins
A shadow so menacing darkens our horizon
What have we done, is this the end... when death descends?

[Opposition Leader] 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

[Chemist] I can't believe we're in danger
I can't believe that we've let it come this far
[Counselor] We must prepare for the changes
We must prepare for the day that the world breaks down

[Opposition Leader] Don't expect we will survive this, there'll be no way back
The day that the world breaks down
Don't assume it's all a nightmare, we won't stand a chance
The day that the world breaks down

[Chemist] I can't believe this is happening
I can't believe we are headed for a fall
[Counselor] We must prepare for the blackening
We must prepare for the day that the world breaks down

[Prophet] 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!

[Captain] 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 am the only one
Who can save us... (TH1: Starblade!) from this fate
I always knew they would need me
Not many showed faith in my plans
I'm sure they will listen to me now, I'm sure that I'm the only one
Who can save us... (TH1: Starblade!) from this fate

[Astronomer] Yes, I believe you are the answer
Yes, I agree you are the key
Our future lies in the heavens, our future lies beyond the stars (TH1: Starblade!)
We will save them (TH1: Starblade!) we will save them (TH1: Starblade!)
From this fate!

[TH1] 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01010100 01001000 00110001

[President] I must have been blind, I mean, it should have been obvious
Straight out of my mind to rely on a cold machine
The signs are strong, I know I was wrong, I know they will hate me now
Ooh, but I will come clean and destroy this cold machine
[Diplomat] 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'll cross this bridge...together

[President] We're losing this fight, and yes, we've got ourselves to blame
I guess it seems right in the mind of a 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
[Diplomat] This is not over, I am sure we'll 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

[Biologist] I can feel it in the air, the signs are everywhere
Communications grind 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

[Chemist] The 'Frame is running all our systems, no way to shut it down
Outcries of panic in the distance, fear... all around

[Diplomat] No satellites, no radio, no TV, I can't even use my phone
We need to wake up from this bad dream, we're not alone!

[Prophet] I've seen the future in a dream
I've seen a sea of machines
I've seen a realm beneath the waves
Another time, another space

[Chemist] The 'Frame is closing all the channels, isolated from the world
[Diplomat] But there's still time to heal the damage and lift this curse

[Prophet] I've seen the future in a dream
I've seen a sea of machines
I've seen a realm beneath the waves
Another time, another space

[Counselor] You need to reach beyond your fear
You need to stand your ground and fight
If we're to make it out of here
If we're to leave Alpha alive

[Captain] I can sail us to the skies
I can fly us to the stars
I won't allow our race to die
I'll never leave you in the dark

[President] I'll find a way to save our kind
After all I am to blame
Just follow me, and I will guide
And I'll release us from the 'Frame

[Chemist] The 'Frame is cutting off the power, we're stranded in the dark
[Diplomat] It won't help to hide away like cowards, make a brand new start!

[Prophet] I've seen the future in a dream
I've seen a sea of machines
I've seen a realm beneath the waves
Another time, another space
I see a comet cleave the sky
In a time beyond time
I see a realm beneath the waves
I see a castle, a castle deep in space on the edge of time!

[TH1] This isn't good, no this is not good at all
Mayday, mayday, mayday, you're all gonna die
Everybody dies - dies - dies! Danger! Warning! Mayday!
Abandon! Evacuate! Get out of here!

Oh no! You lived 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...

[Opposition Leader and 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 somehow elongate your life
You're best off to shut up and calm down and wait for it

[Opposition Leader and 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

[President] And in the end when all is silent, the core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
[Chemist] 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

[Opposition Leader and 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

[Astronomer] And in the end when all is silent, the core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
[Chemist] Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!

[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

[TH1] Danger! Warning! Mayday!
Abandon! Evacuate!

[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 ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try
The chances are slim but perhaps you could make it alive?

[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
Now 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
Now everybody dies

[Historian] This fateful day, we are gathered here inside this hall
To find a way to escape our pending fate
We lack the power to immobilize the 'Frame
We need to save our race and leave this world behind
But can we leave the rest...to die?

[President] You have all been chosen for your skills and expertise
I beg you to have faith in me and I vow to set you free
I see only one solution, we have to leave this dying world
But I need us to collaborate and together we will find a way

[Astronomer] I found our destination near the Star of Sirrah
A sphere drowned in water in the Alpha Pegasi
[Captain] I'll set the navigation for the Star of Sirrah
Fire up the Starblade, are you ready for the quest to our new world

[Prophet] In the holy book of scripture, the Revelation of the Seals
It was prophesized this day would come, Armageddon was revealed
A Gathering of Sages, the Aligning of the Ten
They'll deliver us from evil and guide us to our sanctuary amid the stars

[Chemist] You realize, if we're to live on an ocean world
To survive, we need to change and adapt
Liquid Eternity allows us to evolve
It's the Source of our rebirth, the essence of life!

[Diplomat] The pieces fit, we've got all we need
Now the puzzle is complete
I hope the 'Frame will allow us to escape
We must bid Alpha goodbye and leave our friends to die!

[Biologist] We found our destination, near the Star of Sirrah
A sphere drowned in water in the Alpha Pegasi
We'll set the navigation for the Star of Sirrah
Fire up the Starblade, we are ready for the quest to our new world!

[Counselor and Biologist]
I remember when I first saw your face
I remember the day, the hour, the place
Now it's over, I still feel our first embrace
It's all over, it's time to say goodbye to... all that was

I remember when you made me feel alive
I remember the passion in our eyes
Now it's over, I won't be there when you die
It's all over, it's time to say goodbye to... all that was

[Historian] I know it's hard, but we have to carry on
[Diplomat] Convince yourself that we have no other choice
[Historian] A cold new start, the life we knew is gone
[Diplomat and Historian] Our world, our lives have been destroyed

[Counselor and Biologist]
I remember when the world was in our hands
I remember the future we had planned
Now it's over, will you ever understand?
It's all over, it's time to say goodbye to...all that was

[Opposition Leader] Outside this hall, abuse and assault, a cold-blooded war rages on
We're leaving today, I'll lead the way, our perilous journey's begun
[Astronomer] Crime and violence corrupting the heart, society's falling apart
All our nations are lost in this cruel holocaust, so run!

[TH1] Run, run, run, run, apocalypse!

[President] Anarchy reigns, chaos remains, we need to get out while we can
No sign of the 'Frame, we are to blame for the final destruction of man
[Biologist] Alliances spark down there in the dark, the underworld's coming alive
I see raiders and thieves marauding the streets, now run!

[TH1 - Time is running out
Clearly the only viable solution]

[Captain] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our time is running out and the damage is done
[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run! The seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won
[Captain] Run, the countdown is on, the final hour has come now the end has begun
[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it's time to awaken
The devil has won

[Historian] It's break of day, we're crawling our way down through the tunnels below
Then just like he said, there's light up ahead, only a few miles to go
We run down the valley and up to the hills, where Starblade's awaiting on high
We all climb aboard, charting our course, we're alive!

[TH1] Coordinates are set, fire up the jets, wipe away the sweat, repress all your regrets
Power up - throttle down - safety check..? ah no time! Hold onto your heads...
We're bound for Sirrah's Eye!

[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run!
Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it's time to awaken
The devil has taken everything we love

[Historian] I can't believe it really happened, it's all slowly sinking in
I left behind a hopeless race to fight a war they cannot win

[Chemist] My petty life, it seems so trivial, a whole world is about to die
If all those billions fade away , then who am I... to stay alive

[Historian] Condemned to live, doomed to leave my world to die
[Chemist] The guilt weighs heavy on my mind
[Historian] Trapped in this void, deprived of dignity and joy
[Chemist] Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

[Diplomat] We're about to start our journey, so focus on what lies ahead
[Chemist] Liquid Eternity
[Diplomat] We have the chance to save our future, we're alive, the past is dead
[Chemist] The Source will set us free
[Diplomat] We need to find a way to thrive there, preservation of our race
[Chemist] Liquid Eternity
[Diplomat] An alteration, gene mutation, transformation of our strain
[Chemist] The Source will set us free

[Counselor] Condemned to live, doomed to leave our world to die
The guilt weighs heavy on our mind
Trapped in this void, deprived of dignity and joy
Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed

[Opposition Leader] Condemned to live, doomed to leave our world to die
[Biologist] A fate we could not avoid
[Opposition Leader] The guilt weighs heavy on our minds
[Biologist] But we had no other choice
[Opposition Leader] Trapped in this void, deprived of joy
[Biologist] Now we need to think of ourselves
[Opposition Leader] Their secret hopes and dreams destroyed
[Biologist] We need to break out of this hell!

[Ship's Crew] Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race

[Historian] Our world is ruined [Captain] No turning back
[Historian] Their fate is cruel [Captain] Their future black
[Historian] Last Day is here [Captain] They lost all power
[Historian] The end is near [Captain] It's zero hour
[Historian] Our time is short [Captain] We need to leave
[Historian] We're all aboard [Captain] We're all complete
[Historian] All set to go [Captain] Switch engines on
[Historian] Set your controls [Captain] We leave at dawn

[Opposition Leader] This time we won't depend on cold machinery
I always knew where that would lead
This time we plan ahead and form our strategy
No computers, no machines

[Diplomat] Hibernation now begins, our minds allowed to dream
Eternity will course through our veins
Transformation will set in, the Source is flowing free
Augmenting our brains, forever... forever!

[Historian] Our final chance [Captain] Our final leap
[Historian] We'll be in trance [Captain] We'll be asleep
[Historian] What will we dream? [Captain] Will it seem real?
[Historian] What will we see? [Captain] How will we feel?

[President] I say we change our ways and learn from the past
We cannot make the same mistakes
I say we start today, this chance may be our last
Our people's futures are at stake

[Counselor] Rejuvenation will begin, our thoughts allowed to stray
Infinity will liberate our minds
Immortality sets in, wash our fears away
Leave all our doubts behind, forever

[Chemist] Let the fluid in, wash away
Immerse yourself into this realm of liquid dreams
Everlasting life, drown away your past
Allow yourself to drift beyond the bounds of death and reach out for infinity

[Biologist] Get ready for takeoff [Astronomer] and forget the 'Frame
[Biologist] Get ready to shake off [Astronomer] all the guilty chains
[Biologist] Our ship is departing [Astronomer] to a far-off place
[Biologist] Our saga is starting [Astronomer] an aquatic race

[Ship's Crew] Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race

[Chemist] Embrace our future home beneath the tides
Soon we will be one with our new ocean world
Time without an end, life without a care
Allow yourself to sail beyond the fringe of time and reach out for eternity

[Ship's Crew] Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race

[Ship's Crew] Get ready for takeoff and forget the 'Frame
Get ready to shake off all the guilty chains
Our ship is departing to a far-off place
Our saga is starting, an aquatic race

[Counselor] I drift above the clouds, upon the veil of a dream
I reach out to touch the planets, something beautiful evolves
Then the dream dissolves

[Biologist] I float beneath the tides, upon the crest of a dream
In a world of hope and wonder, something magical evolves
Then the dream dissolves

[Diplomat] A world of blue, dreams to pursue
The dawning of an era, a new life evolves
But then the dream dissolves

[Prophet] A world sublime, a paradise
Blessed by our maker, our soul evolves
But the dream dissolves

[President] It's time to awaken, the journey's almost done
The quest is over, a new one's begun
And when we reach our destination, our lives won't be the same
We're on our own now and free of the 'Frame

[Captain] We're closing in on Sirrah's halo
Behold the glow of our new sun
An arc of light, a cosmic rainbow
[Captain and Biologist]
But far beyond, buried in space
I hear the deathcry of a race

[Opposition leader] Alpha is shattered, their suffering is done
The trial is over and nobody's won
We've got a brand new world at our disposal
This time we'll do it right, we're starting over and no one will die!

[Captain] We're closing in on Sirrah's halo
Behold the glow of our new sun
An arc of light, a cosmic rainbow
[Captain and Biologist]
But far beyond, buried in space
I hear the deathcry of a race

[Preacher] وقال يجب ألا يكون هناك ضوء وكان هناك ضوء

[Counselor and Biologist]
Time halts as we yearn for the fallen, souls weep as we grieve for the dead
Hearts bleed as we cry our last goodbye, in our hearts they will never die

[Preacher] Fa kaala falyakon nur fa kena nur

[Counselor and Biologist]
Fire dies as we mourn for the perished, love drowns as we ache for the lost
Life stops as we cry our last goodbye, in our hearts they will never die

[Biologist] Oh, I can see our future star
[Opposition Leader] We're closing in on Sirrah's halo
[Biologist] I can feel the force within her heart
[Opposition Leader] Behold the glow of our new sun
[Biologist] I can feel her rays caress my skin
[Opposition Leader] An arc of light, a cosmic rainbow
[Biologist] I can feel her power draw me in
[Opposition Leader and Biologist]
But far beyond, buried in space
I hear the death cry of a race

[President] Can you feel the power of this vast, everlasting ocean world?
Seas of blue, an infinite view, life without frontiers
Oh I can smell the freedom of a life not ruled by mind machines
A boundless place, perpetual space, untouched by man [TH1] or by machine

[Diplomat] Unblemished and pure, a paragon of perfection
So calm and serene, forever
A glorious view, oh I can't believe my eyes
Our trek is complete, our goal is achieved
We're alive...we're alive!

[Astronomer] We're going down into the ocean
To bury the past
We're going down into the ocean
[TH1] We're going down to the ocean, diving into the deep

[President] I believe this planet will give rise to a new humanity
Immortal souls, taking control, colonized by man [TH1] not by machines

[Captain] I'll take us down, once we are in, there will be no way out
We'll merge with this world, forever
Sustained by the Source, we'll explore the great unknown
Our passage is done, our battle is won
We'll make it out alive!

[Astronomer] We're going down into the ocean
To bury the past
We're going down into the ocean
[TH1] we're going down to the ocean
To create a world down there beneath the seas

[Opposition Leader] And soon our minds will meld, we'll share the dreams that we once held
And soon our senses surge, a symbiosis will emerge
And soon our souls unite, we'll be connected deep inside
And soon our thoughts will blend, we'll be as one, never end!

[Prophet] For eons to come, we will thrive beneath these seas
Our spirits seem free, forever
But shadows will rise, they will steal our souls away
Then a comet will fly, cleaving the skies
To a world of tomorrow dreams!

[Astronomer] We're going down into the ocean
To bury the past
We're going down into the ocean
[TH1] we're going down to the ocean
To create a world down there beneath the seas

[Opposition Leader] And soon our minds will meld, we'll share the dreams that we once held
And soon our senses surge, a symbiosis will emerge
And soon our souls unite, we'll be connected deep inside
And soon our thoughts will blend, we'll be as one, never end!

[Historian] We've arrived at our new home we call the Bay of Dreams
Our abode beneath the flow of endless silver streams
[Chemist] Will I ever be free from the ghosts of my past?
Will I ever succeed to find peace...at last?

[Historian] Overhead, a savage sky beyond our placid bay
Deadly rays from Sirrah's eye, upon the seas they blaze
[Chemist] Will I ever adapt to this alien life?
Will I ever feel trapped, merely trying to survive?

[TH1] Will you still be needing me?
Will you still be feeding me?
Will you still be heeding me?
Will you still let me serve when you mutate into the species roaming these oceans?
Or will I be disengaged?

[Diplomat] My life is winding down, as if time has ceased
My world grinds to a halt and nature is at peace
My fears are fading in the wastelands of the deep
My doubts all wash away by the freely twisting streams [TH1] in the Bay of Dreams

[Prophet] Far beyond in the Aftertime, a new world to come
In a far-off galaxy, underneath a distant sun
I see our children, they look like you and me
They await their destiny, I can almost hear their screams [TH1] in the Bay of Dreams

[Opposition Leader] How can we still trust you after all the vows you broke?
Tell me why should we believe in you after all the lies you spoke?
You swore the 'Frame would shield us, so we welcomed your machines
We depended on technology to wash our poisoned nations clean

[President] I can't deny, it's true what you're saying
I will beware not to make the same mistakes
'Cos after all, we are all that's remaining
Planet Y is alive!

[Astronomer] Planet Y is alive, our race will survive!
Forever we're free and forever we'll be and forever we will dream
Planet Y is alive, our people will thrive!
Forever's our goal and forever's our soul and forever we will grow
[TH1] Forever free

[Opposition Leader] We can start all over, raise an empire of our own
We can build a new community and never stand alone
Now we are connected and working as a team
We have a chance to turn a new page, devoid of science and machines

[President] We have the power, to design the perfect future
Utopia, in the silence of the sea
No glowing screens, no heartless computers
Planet Y is alive!

[Captain] I see her shine, faintly in the distance
Our new sun... reminding me of home
Conjuring up, all we will be missing
Planet Y is alive!

[Biologist] Planet Y is alive, our race will survive!
Forever we're free and forever we'll be and forever we will dream
Planet Y is alive, our people will thrive!
Forever's our goal and forever's our soul and forever we'll grow and forever we'll flow into the deep
[TH1] We will thrive, we'll survive, we're alive

[Chemist] Let go, the Source will flow
Awaken our senses and assume control
Inside, the Source provides
Nourish our spirit, dominate our minds

[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

[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

[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

[Chemist] No 'Frame, the Source sustains
Feed our existence, alleviate our pain
Let go, the Source will flow
Soothe our senses, assume control

[Ship's Crew] We're on a journey to forever
Dreams eternal, in a wondrous world without walls
We are Forever, wondering what the future holds

[Captain] I hear you, a distant voice inside my brain
[Diplomat] I see you, so clear, though you're so far away
[Captain] United, together though we're miles apart
[Diplomat] Undivided, a symbiosis of the heart

[Captain and Diplomat] We're all connected, a never-ending synergy
We're a collective, an infinite community, immortal harmony, eternal unity

[Captain] I'm ready to dive into this brave new world
[Diplomat] Commencing the morning of our second birth
[Captain] It's coming, the rising of a glorious age
[Diplomat] It's starting, the dawn of a superior race

[Captain and Diplomat] We're all connected, a never-ending synergy
We're a collective, an infinite community, immortal harmony, eternal unity

[Ship's Crew] We're on a journey to forever
Dreams eternal, in a wondrous world without walls
We are Forever, wondering what the future holds

[Ship's Crew] We're on a journey to forever
Dreams eternal, in a wondrous world without walls
We are Forever, wondering what the future holds

[Ship's Crew] We're on a journey to forever
Dreams eternal, in a wondrous world without walls
We are Forever, wondering what the future holds

[Astronomer] We're all connected, a never-ending synergy
Our minds have melded, a singular society
We're a collective, an infinite community
A perfect symmetry, immortal harmony, eternal unity

[Counselor] Do we belong here, do we hide behind our dreams?
Can we live without machines?

[Historian] Can we resist our compulsion to explore?
Or will we always hunt for more?

[Chemist] Liquid Eternity perpetuates our lives
But will it paralyze our minds?

[Diplomat] Without the danger, can we still evolve?
Will our passions all dissolve?

[President] Remember Alpha, the source of human life
Will our history be revived?

[Prophet] The second coming of the Universal Soul
Will make our hollow spirits whole

[Captain] Maybe one day, man will rise again
Standing tall as we were then

[Astronomer] Is this our destiny, a life forevermore?
Or will we crave our time before?

[Opposition Leader] Are we still human, buried in our minds?
Or did we leave ourselves behind?

[Biologist] Our tale's not over, the circle's incomplete
We won't just vanish in the sea!

0?1?0?1?1?0?0?1?
