[Chemist]
Bm                    A       D
The ‘Frame is running all our systems,
          G       Bm  D F#m Em
no way to shut it down
Bm          D
Outcries of panic in the distance,
G       Bm        D G
fear... all around

[Diplomat]
A  Bm             A
No satellites, no radio,
   D                G           Bm D F#m Em
no TV, I can't even use my phone
Bm         A                 D
We need to wake up from this bad dream,
G         Bm    B G#m C#
we’re not alone!

[Prophet]
E             B           F#m   C#
I’ve seen the future in a dream
A           E        B    C#m
I’ve seen a sea of machines
E           B                 F#
I’ve seen a realm beneath the waves
C#m     A      E           D
Another time, another space

[Chemist]
Bm            A                   D
The ‘Frame is closing all the channels,
         G    B        D F#m Em
isolated from the world

[Diplomat]
Bm                A                D
But there's still time to heal the damage
    G         Bm   G#m C#
and lift this curse

[Prophet]
E             B           F#m   C#
I’ve seen the future in a dream
A           E        B     C#m
I’ve seen a sea of machines
E           A                 F#
I’ve seen a realm beneath the waves
C#m     A     E       D
Another time, another space

[Counselor]
D                 E           F#  C#m
You need to reach beyond your fear
D           E                     F#   G#
You need to stand your ground and fight
A                          C#m  G#
If we're to make it out of here
A                       C#m  E
If we're to leave Alpha alive

[Captain]
D     E          F#       C#m
I can sail us to the skies
D     E      F#          G#
I can fly us to the stars
A                      C#m   G#
I won’t allow our race to die
A          Bm               C#m  E
I‘ll never leave you in the dark

[President]
D           E               F#  C#
I’ll find a way to save our kind
D     E           F#   G#m
After all I am to blame
A           Bm             C#m  G#
Just follow me, and I will guide
A                             C#m  E
And I’ll release us from the ‘Frame

[Chemist]
Bm            A               D
The ‘Frame is cutting off the power,
            A         Bm  D F#m Em
we’re stranded in the dark

[Diplomat]
Bm               A              D
It won’t help to hide away like cowards,
       G         Bm   B G#m C#m
make a brand new start!

[Prophet]
E             B           F#   C#m
I’ve seen the future in a dream
A           E        B     C#m
I’ve seen a sea of machines
E                   B         F#
I’ve seen a realm beneath the waves
C#m     A       E     B    Fm
Another time, another space
Cm      Gm               F  Fm
I see a comet cleave the sky
G#               Gm
In a time beyond time
Fm      G#                D#
I see a realm beneath the waves
Fm      C#        G#     D#      A#
I see a castle, a castle deep in space
               Fm
on the edge of time!
