[TH1:]
This isn't good
No this is not good at all
Mayday, mayday, mayday
You're all gonna die
Everybody dies! Dies! Dies! Dies!
Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!
Abandon, evacuate, get out of here!
Oh no, you lived like you did and you thought everything would be fine?
Now you scamper and run, but you've already run out of time
It's rotting and deteriorating from the inside
There's no way to stop it
And clearly there's nowhere to hide
Calculation of survival rate 0%
Doom, gloom, the world goes boom
None will be spared so don't assume
Not ragged clothed nor silver spooned
You're all the same when extinction looms
[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist:]
No food supplies, no water supplies
No power supplies or other supplies
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
And everybody dies!
No explanation or clarification
No information or justification
Forget the whys, just cover your eyes
And everybody dies!
[TH1:]
Oh no! It's not like your screaming can somehow elongate your life
You're best off to shut up and calm down and wait for it
[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist:]
The world is black, there's no way back
You're way off the track, no plan of attack
So recognize your pending demise
And everybody dies!
[The President:]
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
[The Chemist:]
Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!
[TH1:]
Oh no! Now holding your breath isn't going to bide you more time
You're best off to lay down and curl up and wait for it
[The Opposition Leader and The Chemist:]
The ultimate blast will be the last
And when it's passed, so terribly fast
It blinds your eyes, you're paralyzed
And everybody dies!
The soil'll be red where people have bled
The cities all dead, radiation will spread
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
And everybody dies
[The Astronomer:]
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
[The Chemist:]
Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!
[The Diplomat:]
Don't give up, we are still breathing
Don't give in, that's what they want
Don't despair, just keep believing
Don't lose heart, we'll blast our way out of here
[TH1:]
Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!
Abandon! Evacuate!
[The Captain:]
Follow me to a place beyond us
Follow me to another world
Time is short, the hour's upon us
Follow me to the stars
[TH1:]
Oh yes! Not ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try
The chances are slim but perhaps you could make it alive?
[The Biologist:]
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
And in the end beyond the violence
No humans will be found
Now a quantum supernova's blasted out
[TH1:]
Then ominous skies materialize
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
Now everybody dies!
This isn't good
No this is not good at all
Mayday, mayday, mayday
You're all gonna die
Everybody dies! Dies! Dies! Dies!
Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!

Best to summarize the 1st 3 tracks of the album, these 3 are referred to as the Chronicle 1: The 'Frame The story begins in the distant past on a planet called Alpha in the Andromeda Galaxy, inhabited by our human ancestors. Despite the best efforts of The Opposition Leader (Tommy Karevik), The President (Russell Allen) has given a mainframe computer known as "The 'Frame" full powers over Alpha, so it can solve its seemingly insurmountable ecological and political problems. However, the 'Frame, whose intelligence has surpassed the Alphans', has decided that the only possible way to do so was to destroy humanity, and shut down all support systems to extinguish their race. The Alphans despair about their doom, as The President realizes he was mistaken ("The Day That the World Breaks Down"). Some Alphans, such as The Diplomat (Michael Eriksen) and The Counselor (Simone Simons), believe there is still hope, as does The Captain (Tobias Sammet), who proposes to use his spaceship, the Starblade, to carry a small number of Alphans to a new world so they can start anew; meanwhile, The Prophet (Nils K. Rue) foresees that they will indeed leave, while also predicting "a sea of machines" similar to Alpha's and a mysterious castle ("Sea of Machines"). Ultimately, the Alphans come to the conclusion that there is no hope of saving their world ("Everybody Dies").
