6. Run! Apocalypse! Run! (4:52)
[Opposition Leader] 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
[Astronomer] Crime and violence corrupting the heart, society’s falling apart
All our nations are lost in this cruel holocaust, so run!
[TH1] Run, run, run, run, apocalypse!
[President] 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
[Biologist] Alliances spark down there in the dark, the underworld’s coming alive
I see raiders and thieves marauding the streets, now run!
[TH1 – Time is running out
Clearly the only viable solution]
[Captain] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our time is running out and the damage is done
[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run! The seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won
[Captain] Run, the countdown is on, the final hour has come now the end has begun
[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it’s time to awaken
The devil has won
[Historian] 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!
[TH1] Coordinates are set, fire up the jets, wipe away the sweat, repress all your regrets
Power up - throttle down - safety check..? ahh no time! Hold onto your heads...
We’re bound for Sirrah’s Eye!
[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run!
Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it’s time to awaken
The devil has taken everything we love
We’re leaving today, I’ll lead the way, our perilous journey’s begun
[Astronomer] Crime and violence corrupting the heart, society’s falling apart
All our nations are lost in this cruel holocaust, so run!
[TH1] Run, run, run, run, apocalypse!
[President] 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
[Biologist] Alliances spark down there in the dark, the underworld’s coming alive
I see raiders and thieves marauding the streets, now run!

[Captain] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our time is running out and the damage is done
[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run! The seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won

[Prophet] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it’s time to awaken
