NARRATION:
Aghast! The internet and television have all been shut down and so I've had to resort to a damn HAM radio broadcast. So if you’re still listening, how does HAM radio even work and how did you figure out how to tune in? People are fleeing in droves to “Sanctuary Island”, the cities are in complete chaos right now, everything’s on fire, people are looting the shops... I mean really, people?! For what?! You can't take any of this stuff to the grave! You'll be lucky to even GET a grave at this point! No seriously, just stay home! Or better yet, head to the island!
LYRICS:
A] Sanctuary Island
We escape the chaos here on Sanctuary Island
A song is played, music floods the night
Our final haven, a refuge from the violence
Now darkness falls, as embers light the sky
The music stops as the sun goes down
And silence fills the air
Faint shadows hide in the afterglow
Mere moments left to share
We’re prepared – on Sanctuary Island
The tension’s rising, here on Sanctuary Island
Our time has come, the countdown has begun
The sound of evil, roaring in the distance
All hope now gone, we’ll never see the dawn
The music stopped as the sun went down (We see the sun going down)
And silence filled the air (In this place devoid of violence)
Faint shadows hid in the afterglow (They are hiding from the danger)
Mere moments left to share
We’re prepared – on Sanctuary Island
B] Flight of the Meteorite
Behold, don’t miss the show, here we go
Look at that glow, bring it on!
C] Regrets
His endless days filled with regret
Mistakes he can’t forget
A life so hard, a life unfulfilled
A scarred man plagued by guilt
He should have told her, but the words would never come
Every lie a secret war that he believed he’d won
He thought the truth would break her, tear her world apart
It’s pointless now, this precious time is all we’ve got
She had a lie she buried in shame
A child born, his in name
He always knew something felt wrong
The truth held in the dark
She should have told him and so many times she tried
Oh she could have let him know instead of all the lies
She thought the truth would break him, tear his world apart
It’s pointless now, this precious time is all we’ve got
D] A really, really bad day (instrumental)
E] Anger and Acceptance
The earth will burn, whatever we do
Wiped out, you’re all screwed
I stand my ground, never give in
Don’t fight a fight you can’t win
We’re all deranged, we’re insane
Face up, you can’t escape
We’ll break away, out of this place
You’ll die in a fiery grave
Here we stand on the shoreline
Underneath a blood red sky
burning bright, its reflection on the sea
A deadly light, yet so serene
Our world seems small, now it dominates the sky
Its fire consumes the night
Time is still, and in some way we feel so strong
As we sing our final song
I won’t waste time, trying to pray
That’s right, accept your fate
I can’t believe we’re all gonna die
Back down, say your goodbyes
There’s no way to stay alive
Can’t stop the funeral fire
Blast that rock, out of the sky
Too late, you’re all gonna fry
And me, I’m out here all alone
I’m free, as music fills my soul
Inspiration madly flows, I feel no fear
Writing songs, no one… will hear
F] This Is The End
This is the end, the end of humanity
The end of a dream, the end of a race
This is the end, the end of existence
The end of our reign, a moment in space
This is the end, the end of utopia
The end of all pain, the end of disease
This is the end, the end of an era
The end of regret, of all we achieved
This is the end, the end of prosperity
The end of a race, the end of the wars
This is the end, the end of our history
A moment in space, what was it all for
This is the end, the end of our paradise
The end of all grief, the end of despair
This is the end, the end of emotions
Of all we achieved, the end of…
NARRATION:
Oh my god it happened, I can't believe it actually happened, guys I really doubt anyone will hear this but by strange chance if anyone's still listening, thank you, and remember, "always look on the bright side of …"
G] We’ll Never Know Reprise
Would we evolve, transcend and persevere, we’ll never know
Or would we fail, burn out and disappear, we’ll never know
Maybe one day we’d reach out for the stars
Were we alone… we’ll never know…
H] The Final Embrace
Mission complete. Let the new phase begin.
