I: WELCOME TO THE END
[Verse 1A]
POSITIVE:
Open the doors of the Virtual Realm
To exit our prison, this Digital Hell
Finally we’re free
From the grip of the Machines
NEGATIVE:
Anxious to see the world we left behind
How long has it been, what will we find?
Will we see peace and grace
Or the ruins of our race?

[Verse 1B]
NEGATIVE:
Our eyes must be deceiving us
For the Earth can’t “Rest in Piece”
Of all the sights in front of us
This is one I won’t believe
POSITIVE:
How can you not be confident
That this misfortune is brief?
(This too shall pass)

[Chorus 1]
POSITIVE & NEGATIVE:
From immortality to isolation
The new world of fear and darkness has begun
And all we can see is desolation
So welcome to the end
(Welcome to the end)

[Verse 2A]
NEGATIVE:
How could you let the place we called “home” die?
Laying to waste while time had flown by?
See what you have wrought
What were we fighting for?
POSITIVE:
Don’t pass the buck, show some humility
You also bear the responsibility
How dare you avoid the shame
When we are all to blame

[Verse 2B]
NEGATIVE:
Do you imply it’s all my fault
I won’t take that lying down!
POSITIVE:
That wasn’t what I said at all
We all share the same amount
NEGATIVE:
And I refuse to take the fall
For this failure all around
(What have you done?)

{Chorus 1}

[instrumental]

II: THE SILVER LINING

[Verse 3a]
POSITIVE:
Don’t despair, there must be a way out of this
To set things right once more
I won’t accept this future that’s placed upon us

To move on, we’ve got to learn to adapt
So we can live again
We’ll find a way to pick ourselves up off the ground

[Verse 3b]
NEGATIVE:
Just give up, there is no silver lining to this storm
We play the hand we’re dealt
No escape, the sun will not be shining anymore
The wind’s knocked from our sail

III: ATONEMENT

[Verse 4a]
THE ROGUE:
No longer connected
Crawling through the wreckage
A manmade saviour of mankind
I carry this burden:
I fulfilled my purpose
But against the odds, I survived

[Verse 4b]
THE ROGUE:
Free from the Hell that imprisoned them and me
My former self is confined to history
I am responsible for being a part of
The problems they now face
The one solution is right in front of me
I have to help them, it’s my destiny
Is this a miracle or my atonement
To save the human race?

IV: WELCOME TO THE END (REPRISE)

[Verse 5]
POSITIVE:
And as our anger settles and
The tears have all run dry
NEGATIVE:
We know it’s out of our control
Is it even worth the fight?
THE ROGUE:
The future now uncertain,
Will the human race survive?
(What happens now?)

{Chorus 1}
