Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
[Chorus]
The coils ignite, a blinding flash,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,500
Reality bends in a cosmic crash.

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:11,000
Dimensions shift, a twisted gate,

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
A new world waits, sealed by fate!

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
[Verse 1]
Pressure builds, the dynamo screams,

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Professor Denham chasing impossible dreams.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Evelyn stands, with hopeful eyes,

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,500
As we breach the veil, beyond earthly skies.

9
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,500
Two hundred thousand bail, a missing king,

10
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,000
A lizard's roar, a jeweled thing!

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,500
The Fifth Dimension calls to me,

12
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:43,000
A universe of mystery!

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,500
[Verse 2]
Strange scents arise, a jungle bloom,

14
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,000
Exotic whispers fill the room.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,500
A warmth, a dampness, unknown and deep,

16
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,000
Secrets this new world will keep.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Then screams erupt, a primal sound,

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,500
Lost in echoes all around!

19
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,500
[Bridge]
Mechanical work, I built it true,

20
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,000
Hoping for science, something new.

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,500
But now the gears grind, a twisted plight,

22
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,000
Another dimension, dark as night.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,500
[Chorus]
The coils ignite, a blinding flash,

24
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,000
Reality bends in a cosmic crash.

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,500
Dimensions shift, a twisted gate,

26
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:28,500
A new world waits, sealed by fate!

27
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:32,000
[Verse 3]
Through light we peered, a telescope's gaze,

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Saw tree-fern jungles in a crimson haze.

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,500
Golden cities shimmered far away,

30
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,500
But now the price is steep to pay.

31
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:46,000
Von Holtz betrayed, for greed and lies,

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Now Jacaro hunts beneath alien skies!

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
[Verse 4]
Bloodlust rising, shadows creep,

34
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,000
A savage hunger, secrets to keep.

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,500
Golden city's treasures we will seize,

36
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,500
Ravage the land with wild disease!

37
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:07,000
[Chorus]
The coils ignite, a blinding flash,

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,500
Reality bends in a cosmic crash.

39
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:13,500
Dimensions shift, a twisted gate,

40
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:16,500
A new world waits, sealed by fate!

41
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,500
[Bridge]
Through the Tube I crawl, into the unknown,

42
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,500
To face the dangers, stand alone.

43
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,000
For Evelyn's safety, for Earth's defense,

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I'll fight this battle with fierce intent!

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
[Outro]
Fifth Dimension… a world unbound…

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,500
Lost in echoes… no turning around…

47
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,000
The coils ignite… the future’s unknown…

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
A new reality… forever shown…
