Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
[Verse 1]
The ink still wet, the memory clear,

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
A tale unfolds, banishing all fear.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Challenger, Summerlee, Roxton by my side,

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Through realms unknown, where wonders hide.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
South America’s journey, a distant dream,

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
But stranger fates awaited, it would seem!

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
[Chorus]
Blurring lines of light and space,

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
A cosmic shift, a changing grace.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The ether whispers, secrets deep,

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
While humanity slumbers in its sleep.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
A world transformed, a fragile plea,

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Lost in the vast immensity!

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
[Bridge]
[instrumental]

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
[Verse 2]
Fraunhofer’s lines, a spectral sign,

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
A universe in disarray, divine!

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Corks adrift upon an endless sea,

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Blind to the dangers waiting for thee.

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
The ether shifts, a cosmic tide,

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Prepare yourselves, there's nowhere to hide!

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
[Chorus]
Blurring lines of light and space,

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
A cosmic shift, a changing grace.

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The ether whispers, secrets deep,

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
While humanity slumbers in its sleep.

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
A world transformed, a fragile plea,

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Lost in the vast immensity!

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Fraunhofer’s lines, a spectral sign,

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
A universe in disarray, divine!

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Corks adrift upon an endless sea,

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Blind to the dangers waiting for thee.

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The ether shifts, a cosmic tide,

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Prepare yourselves, there's nowhere to hide!

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
[Verse 3]
Oxygen requested, a cryptic call,

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
A growing unease encompassing all fear.

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Roxton and Summerlee, by my side,

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
As shadows lengthen, nowhere to hide.

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
The news from Sumatra, a chilling dread,

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Lighthouses extinguished, the future misled!

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
[Bridge]
Forty-seven times… I’ve served him true,

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
But this old man… what's he going to do?

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
He bites the housekeeper, a curious plight,

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
A living wonder in fading light.

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
[Verse 4]
The poison spreads, a silent blight,

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Consuming darkness, stealing the light!

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
But hope remains, a fragile spark,

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
To fight the shadows, to leave our mark!

47
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Hyper-oxygenation, a desperate plea,

48
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
To hold onto life, for you and me!

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
[Chorus]
Blurring lines of light and space,

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
A cosmic shift, a changing grace.

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The ether whispers, secrets deep,

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
While humanity slumbers in its sleep.

53
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
A world transformed, a fragile plea,

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Lost in the vast immensity!

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
[Outro]
And so it ends… or does it begin?

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
The lost world awakens… within.
