[Intro: Damian Wilson]
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?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1: Daniel Gildenlow]
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

[Bridge: Jan Willem Ketelaers & Simone Simons]
I can't believe we're in danger
I can't believe that we've let it comе this far
We must prepare for thе changes
We must prepare for
The day that the world breaks down

[Verse 2: Daniel Gildenlow]
Don't expect we will survive this
There will be no way back
The day that the world breaks down

Don't assume it's all a nightmare
Won't stand a chance
The day that the world breaks down

[Bridge: Jan Willem Ketelaers & Simone Simons]
I can't believe this is happening
I can't believe we are headed for a fall

We must prepare for the blackening
We must prepare for
The day that the world breaks down

[Verse 3: Magali Luyten]
I can feel it in my heart
I can see it in the stars
Behold: It's all been foretold
The future unfolds
The day that the world breaks down
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: John Jaycee Cuijpers]
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 one
Who can save us (Starblade!)
From this fate

[Verse 5: John Jaycee Cuijpers]
I always knew they would need me
Not many showed faith in my plans
I'm sure they will listen to me now
I'm sure that I am the only one (Starblade!)
Who can save us (Starblade!)
From this fate

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6: Hansi Kursch]
Yes I believe you are the answer!
Yes I believe 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!
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Michael Mills]
"Sing along if you know the words
Help me out Tilburg"

[Refrain]

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 7: Tom Englund]
I must have been blind
It should've been obvious
Straight out of my mind
To rely on a cold machine

The signs were strong
I know I was wrong
I know they will hate me now
But I will come clean
And destroy this cold machine

[Anneke van Giersbergen]
This is not over
Not as long as we're alive
If we join our forces
We will make it

This is not over
As a race we must survive
And in the end we'll cross this bridge together

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 8: Tom Englund]
We're losing this fight!
And yes, we got ourselves to blame
I guess it seems right
In the mind of the cold machine

I'll fix every flaw, I'll break every law
I'll tear up the rulebook if that's what it takes
You will see I will crush this cold machine!

[Anneke van Giersbergen]
This is not over!
I am sure we'll find a way
Out of this desperate situation
This is not over even if it all seems hopeless
For in the end we'll cross this bridge together

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Marcela Bovio & Irene Jansen]
I can feel it in the air
The signs are everywhere
Communications grind to a halt
Traffic has stopped
The grid starts to fail
Planes crashing down
We're getting closer to the day the world breaks down
