[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
[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 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!
