Run! Apocalypse! Run! Lyrics by Ayreon

The Source

2017

[Opposition Leader: Tommy Karevik]
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: Hansi Kürsch]
Crime and violence corrupting the heart, society’s falling apart
All our nations are lost in this cruel holocaust, so run!
[TH1: Michael Mills]
Run, run, run, run, apocalypse!
[President: Russell Allen]
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: Floor Jansen]
Alliances spark down there in the dark, the underworld’s coming alive
I see raiders and thieves marauding the streets, now run!
[TH1: Michael Mills]
Running out of time, time is running out
Out of all your heads, head toward the stars
Starblade, it's clearly now your only viable solution
Go now, run!
[Captain: Tobias Sammet]
Run, apocalypse, run!
Our time is running out and the damage is done
[Prophet: Nils K Rue]
Run, apocalypse, run!
The seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won
[Captain: Tobias Sammet]
Run, the countdown is on!
The final hour has come now the end has begun
[Prophet: Nils K Rue]
Run, apocalypse, run!
Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it’s time to awaken
The devil has won!
[Instrumental Break]
[Historian: James LaBrie]
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: Michael Mills]
Coordinates are set, fire up the jets, wipe away the sweat, repress all your regrets
Power up - throttle down - safety check..? ahh no time! Hold onto your heads...
We’re bound for Sirrah’s Eye!
[Captain: Tobias Sammet]
Run, apocalypse, run!
Our time is running out and the damage is done
[Prophet: Nils K Rue]
Run, apocalypse, run!
The seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won
[Captain: Tobias Sammet]
Run, the countdown is on!
The final hour has come now the end has begun
[Prophet: Nils K Rue]
Run, apocalypse, run!
Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it’s time to awaken
The devil has taken everything we love!
