Текст песни Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down

[THE HISTORIAN: ]
A silence so deafening
As the stillness surrounds us
A rush of fear is surging through our veins
A shadow so menacing
Darkens our horizon
What have we done, Is this the end?
When death descends…

[THE OPPOSITION LEADER: ]
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
You’ll recall my words
The day that the world breaks down
Don’t claim you didn’t see it
Are you prepared to die?
The day that the world breaks down

[CHEMIST: ]
I can’t believe we’re in danger
I can’t believe that we’ve let it come this far

[THE COUNSELLOR: ]
We must prepare for the changes
We must prepare for the day that the world breaks down!

[THE OPPOSITION LEADER: ]
Don’t expect we will survive this
There’ll be no way back
The day that the world breaks down
Don’t assume its all a nightmare
We wont stand a chance
The day that the world breaks down

[THE CHEMIST: ]
I can’t believe this is happening
I can’t believe we’re heading for a fall

[THE COUNSELLOR: ]
We must prepare for the blackening
We must prepare for the day that the world breaks down!

[THE PROPHET: ]
I can feel it in my heart
I can see it in the stars
Behold it’s only the ?
The future unfolds
The day that the world breaks down!

[THE CAPTAIN:]
I always knew this would happen
Not many believed in my cause
I’m sure they will all turn to me now
I’m sure I am the only way
Who can save them (Starblade!)
From this fate
I always knew they would need me
Not many showed my faith in my plans
I’m sure they’ll listen to me now
I’m sure that I’m the only way (Starblade!)
Who can save them (Starblade!)
From this fate!

[THE ASTRONOMER: ]
Yes, I believe you are the answer
Yes, I agree you are the key
Your future lies in the heavens
Our future lies beyond the stars (Starblade!)
We will save them (Starblade!)
We will save them! (Starblade!)
From this fate!

[THE PRESIDENT: ]
I must’ve been blind
I mean, it should’ve been obvious
Straight out of my mind
To rely on a cold machine
The sounds are strong
I know I was wrong
I know that they’ll hate me now
But I will come clean
And destroy this cold machine

[THE DIPLOMAT: ]
This is but over
Not as long as we’re alive
If we join our voices
We will make it
This is but over
As a race we must survive
And in the end we will cross the bridge
Together

[THE PRESIDENT: ]
We’re losing this fight
And yes, we’ve got ourselves to blame
I guess it seems right
In the mind of a cold machine
I’ll fix every flaw
I’ll break every law
I’ll tear up the rule book, if that’s what it takes
You will see, I will crush this cold machine.

[THE DIPLOMAT: ]
This is not over
I’m sure we will find a way
Out of this desperate situation
This is not over
Even if it all seems hopeless
But in the end we will cross this bridge
Together!

[THE BIOLOGIST: ]
I can feel it in the air
The signs are everywhere
Communications grind to a halt, traffic has stopped, defence lines are fall(?) , waves crashing down!
We’re getting closer to the day that the world breaks down!
