Ayreon - Run! Apocalypse! Run!

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
Crime and violence corrupting the heart
Society's falling apart
All our nations are lost
In this cruel holocaust, so run
Run, run, run, run
Apocalypse

Anarchy reigns, chaos remains
We need to get out while we can
No sign of the brave, we are to blame
For the final destruction of man
Alliances spark down there in the dark
The underworld's coming alive
I see raiders and thieves marauding the streets, now run

Time is running out above your heads
In with the stars, Starblade
It's clearly now your only viable solution

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

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

Coordinates are set, fire up the jets
Wipe away the sweat, repress all your regrets
Power up, throttle down, safety check
Have no time, hold onto your heads
We're bound for Sirrah's eye

Run, Apocalypse, run
Our time is running out and the damage is done
Run, Apocalypse, run
The seven seals of hell have been broken
The devil has won
Run, the countdown is on
The final hour has come and the end has begun
Run, Apocalypse, run
Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken
It's time to awaken, the devil has taken everything we love
