The Historian: A silence so deafening
As the stillness surrounds us
A rush of fear is surging through our veins
A shadows 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
The Chemist: I can't believe we're in danger
I can't believe that we've let it come this far
The Counselor: 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 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
The Chemist: I can't believe this is happening
I can't believe we are headed
For a fall
The Counselor: 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 all been foretold
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'm the only one
Who can save us
TH-1: (Star fate)
The Captain: From this fate
The Captain: I always knew they would need me
Not many showed faith in my plans
I'm sure they will ascend to me now
I'm sure that I'm the only one
Who can save us
TH-1: (Star fate)
The Captain: 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)
TH-1: (the Star fate)
The Astronomer: We will save them
TH-1: (Star fate)
The Astronomer: We will save them
TH-1 Michael Mills: (Star fate)
The Astronomer: From this fate
TH-1 Michael Mills: 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01010100 01001000 00110001
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 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
The Diplomat: 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 will
Cross this bridge... together
The President: 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
The Diplomat: This is not over
I am sure we will 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
The Biologist: I can feel it in the air
The signs are everywhere
Communications' ground to a halt
Traffic has stopped
Defenceless and frail
Planes crashing down
We're getting closer to
The day the world breaks down
The lyrics THE DAY THAT THE WORLD BREAKS DOWN of AYREON is also present in the album The source (2017)
Ayreon è un progetto musicale progressive rock fondato nel 1995 dall'olandese Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Lucassen, compositore e polistrumentista di talento, ha concepito Ayreon come un concept album narrativo in cui diverse voci cantano i ruoli di personaggi immaginari all'interno di una storia fantascientifica complessa. Il primo album, "The Final Experiment", uscì nel 1998 e segnò l'inizio di un percorso musicale unico che ha visto la partecipazione di numerosi artisti ospiti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Ayreon si ricordano "The Day the World Stops Turning" e "Starseed", entrambi tratti dall'album "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Journey". Altri album importanti includono "01011001", "The Theory of Everything" e "Transitus", che hanno consolidato la posizione di Ayreon come progetto musicale innovativo e apprezzato dalla critica. Lucassen, con la sua abilità nel creare mondi musicali complessi e coinvolgenti, ha contribuito a definire il genere progressive rock contemporaneo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
