Ayreon – Run! Apocalypse! Run! lyrics

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 ‘Frame, 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
Stop playing, 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 now 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 ah 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 now 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
