Was name of the song Forrest Gump reference?

Does anyone have any idea what font the lyrics are in?

Ghost sent me here

This really is a perfect album isn't it.

Lyrics in italiano:

Fuggite! L’apocalisse! Fuggite!

[Il Leader dell’Opposizione:]
Fuori da questa sala, soprusi e attacchi
infuria una guerra a sangue freddo
Partiamo quest'oggi, sarò io a dirigere
il nostro periglioso viaggio è iniziato

[L’Astronomo:]
Crimine e violenza corrompono i cuori
la società cade a pezzi
Tutte le nostre nazioni sono condannate
in questo crudele olocausto, quindi fuggite!

[TH1:]
Fuggite, Fuggite, Fuggite, apocalisse!

[Il Presidente:]
L’anarchia regna, rimane il caos
dobbiamo fuggire finché siamo in tempo
Nessun segno del 'Frame, è colpa nostra
se l'uomo è stato distrutto

[Il Biologo:]
Alleanze scintillano nell’oscurità
Il regno dei morti sta tornando in vita
Vedo razziatori e ladri saccheggiare le strade,
fuggite adesso!

[TH1:]
Sopra di voi il tempo sta scadendo
sopra le stelle
Un momento!
È l'unica soluzione possibile.
Andate adesso! Fuggite!

[Il Capitano:]
Fuggite! Apocalisse! Fuggite! Il nostro tempo
sta per finire è il danno è fatto
[Il Predicatore:]
Fuggite! Apocalisse! Fuggite! Il settimo sigillo
dell’inferno è stato rotto, il diavolo ha vinto
[Il Captano:]
Fuggite, è partito il conto alla rovescia
la nostra ultima ora è arrivata, la fine ha inizio
[Il Predicatore:]
Fuggite! Apocalisse! Fuggite!
Le nostre anime sono perdute
La nostra fede è stata scossa,
è tempo di svegliarsi
Il diavolo ha vinto

[Lo Storico:]
È l’alba, con fatica percorriamo la nostra strada
lungo i tunnel sotterranei
Poi, proprio come ha predetto, appare una luce
restano solo poche miglia
Fuggiamo nella valle e sopra le colline
dove Starblade ci attende
Saliremo tutti a bordo, imposteremo la rotta
siamo vivi!

[TH1:]
Le coordinate sono impostate, motori accesi
rimuvi il sudore dalla fronte, reprimi i tuoi rimpianti
Energia attivata, giù l'acceleratore
Controllo di sicurezza? Ah, non c’è tempo
Attenti alla testa…
Siamo diretti verso l’Occhio di Sirrah!

[Il Predicatore:]
Fuggite! Apocalisse! Fuggite!
Le nostre anime sono perdute
La nostra fede è stata scossa,
è tempo di svegliarsi
Il diavolo ha preso tutto quello che amavamo

Perfect!!!! Arjen is the master of criation and composition! long live Ayreon!!!

It's been 2 years (wow time is passing really fast, I remember how I was waiting for this album like it was yesterday) and I'm still listening these songs! Awesome.

Awesome song, again. And Elite Dangerous spotted. 😉

Nothing could make this album better. Seriously. Arjen, how in the name of the Eight Moons will you top this???

ayreon needs to make this story either a Movie or a insanely high-budget mmorpg

4:05 What even is that note!?

los coros me recuerdan a queen

Every time I hear this song I just cry.

I only just heard of Aeryon recently and I'll be honest, I kinda just came here for Tommy. But holy shit! These beautiful epics are so complex and satisfying, and that they tell a story without making it confusing! Pure. Damn. MAGIC. I love the range of singers as well. It can appeal to everyone that way! You go Arjen!!!

this is fooking awesome

Run! Apocalypse! Run!

[The Opposition Leader:]
Outside this hall, abuse and assault, a cold-blooded war rages on
We're leaving today, I'll lead the way, our perilous journey's begun

[The Astronomer:]
Crime and violence corrupting the heart, society's falling apart
All our nations are lost in this cruel holocaust, so run!

[TH1:]
Run, run, run, run, apocalypse!

[The President:]
Anarchy reigns, chaos remains, we need to get out while we can
No sign of the 'Frame, we are to blame for the final destruction of man

[The Biologist:]
Alliances spark down there in the dark, the underworld's coming alive
I see raiders and thieves marauding the streets, now run!

[TH1:]
Time is running out above your heads, above the stars.
Stop right.
It's clearly now your only viable solution.
Go now! Run!

[The Captain:] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our time is running out and the damage is done
[The Prophet:] Run! Apocalypse! Run! The seven seals of hell have been broken, the devil has won
[The Captain:] Run, the countdown is on, the final hour has come now the end has begun
[The Prophet:] Run! Apocalypse! Run! Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it's time to awaken
The devil has won

[The Historian:]
It's break of day, we're crawling our way down through the tunnels below
Then just like he said, there's light up ahead, only a few miles to go
We run down the valley and up to the hills, where Starblade's awaiting on high
We all climb aboard, charting our course, we're alive!

[TH1:]
Coordinates are set, fire up the jets, wipe away the sweat, repress all your regrets
Power up – throttle down – safety check..? ah no time! Hold onto your heads...
We're bound for Sirrah's Eye!

[The Prophet:]
Run! Apocalypse! Run!
Our souls are forsaken, our faith has been shaken, it's time to awaken
The devil has taken everything we love

Jesus! This is fucking awesome. So glad I bought this

В первых нотах припева ощущается влияние Royal Hunt. Композиция "Flight".

"We're bound for Sirrah's Eye" - this is an example of Doppler shift.

Epic space metal AND Elite Dangerous?
I'm having some serious chills rn

CMDR? o7

The best Ayrton music since Comatose!

I am seriously in love with this song! Listening to it over and over. Can't stop.

This is better than dream theaters new album.

Vim pelo BRKsEDU

Oh man...this is amazing. Everytime I listen this masterpiece I got chills from head to toes.

and today in my local store store i was wondering: is it worth it the 30 for another vinyl? yup it does

Spectacular video for a superb song. This job of yours is amazing Mr. Lucassen, hats off

all those clips are done amazingly well! lot of work it was for sure

What an amazing powerfull bombastic song!!
One of my highligts in 2017

Definitely one of my favorites from this truly amazing album. For me one of the high points is that moment (around 1:54) when Tobi starts the chorus. That first 'Run!' - I feel it's just a millisecond shorter than many of the preceding/following 'Run!'s and that manages to communicate the urgency of the situation in a terrific way. I literally feel the need to escape something dreadful while listening to this. That is just mind-blowing!

Great prequel stories like this make me wonder why people dislike spoilers. Any Ayreonaught knows full well what becomes of these folks, but it doesn't prevent us from enjoying it.

Why Alpha has christianism if all of this is happening way before christ?

I keep telling myself "just one more time... just one more time..." and now I'm late for work.
...well, once more won't hurt

DONT. TRUST. MACHINES !!!!

Run! Apocalipse! Run!

WONDERFULL CLIP

no one knows the guitar tabs?

This song should have been called "The fourth extinction"

Good thinking, Alexander!

Haha the musical genius himself replied. But yeah I agree.

Your awake

I can't believe Mike's vocals. Just wow. Like a reincarnation of Freddy Mercury. He even does Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights in the original key. Why have I never heard of him before he appeared on the previous Ayreon album? This guy should be selling out shows all over the world.

He has appeared in the previous Ayreon album "The Theory of Everything" as the Father.. Quite a big role actually..

WOW! Perfect. Just perfect.

STAR 1 IS BACK!

The harmony at 1:09 rocks my socks off :)

That Last Day Of War footage is as appropriate, as it can ever be.

I hear Bohemian Rhapsody hear!!! Awesome!!!!!

Anyone else got Battlestar Galactica vibes from this.

Beautiful music. Those last lyrics at 4:31 . wow.

Because of this album (and this track in particular) I now have a huge crush on Michael Mills

The Prophet part in this song is awesome

The devil has won and another masterpiece from Lucassen pierces the cosmos. Mills is utterly magnificent, as are all the musicians on The Source.

Mr.Mills is a superhuman when it comes to singing :D

Now, Playing Elite i wouldnt get so surprised to see CMDR ArjenLucassen!

Finally, another Synthie-Arpeggio-Solo. We need more of those.

This is killer of course. What else would you expect? Over the top Prog Metal. What more could you ask for?

Just thanks for so much AYREON

I was blown away by The Day That The World Breaks Down and had high hopes for the rest of the album, but honestly it's all downhill from there.

oh come on the other songs are great!

I'm 2 years late here, but I'm basically the opposite. The World Breaks Down IMO is a kind of crappy amalgamation that's trying too hard to showcase everyone who's working on the album and it doesn't come together as a very good song as a result. But I love everything AFTER it.

@Virunus This song in particular is just fucking amazing. The hook is not new in the chorus, but it works so fucking well bringing the song and lyrics together.

i like this one way more than star of sirrah

HANSI KURSCH IS AWESOME!

Blame me for it, but I don't think the extensive planting of references to former records has worked well for The Source. The winking here towards Chaos and The New Migrator is so distracting.

I REALLY fall in love with this new album! Arjen love you :)

WOW!!!!

Mike Mills must actually be a robot, no human should be able to have that much talent

Lucas Lalonde hah cool, thanks Lucas :)

You even responded! What a good day, can't wait for Toehider 2017 :)

He is one with the Frame

just a thought: the machines that took over planet alpha are not very nice at all...

That SEELE room though....

Sounds great, but haven't been following along. Who sings on this ? Has a QUEEN vibe to it.

The guy doing all the Queen like harmonies is Mike Mills from Toehider ;)

Arjen's discography would do an amazing series of movies.

WAY BEYOND honored to have worked on this video and also the chance to bring Arjen's music to life! As well as on Sirrah and Everybody Dies.

wayne joyner the videos are really great!
When I'm watching them I'm visioning all the singers and a the musicians on a big stage playing this kind of "musical", but not much acting, with your videos on a BIG screen in the background. 😍

YES! My favorite song from the album

Ed totally kills it!

Take 5 at 2:27 to 3:26 :) Love that section!

Hey Arjen, do you play Elite Dangerous as you have scenes from the game towards the end of the video? Good job.

Oooh, I am so happy this is a thing! Do one of these for "Deathcry of a Race" next!

OMG this is f*cking incredible! We need to develope this album into full sci-fi Universe with fandom etc...

Michael Mills....these acapellas are more than mindblowing...man how...

Exactly this !
You don't find everywhere that kind of elements(acapella) in metal music, that's why it stands out the most too imo :')

Achilles A. ahhh thanks guys. I reckon everyone did an amazing job on this record though and its mindblowing how well received it is. NUMBER ONE ON THE DUTCH ALBUM CHARTS!!!

You all did awesome, that's the least you had to expect :'')

For me, too. he is the best, together with Hansi Kürsch, Tommy Rogers, Tommy Karevik, Nils K. Rue and Michael Eriksen.

+ThyFacelessOne and Russell Allen.

the most real thing about this video is that everyone else got cool titles like "The Chemist" and then Ed was just... "Drums"

I can't decide which of these songs is my favourite, but this one's definitely a contender.

Also, am I the only one who gets a "Roger Taylor" vibe from Mills' vocals on this record?

I love this album very much!

You sir are a great songwriter, Thanks for sharing all these great tunes!!!

What a GREAT ROCKER!!!

Definately a highlight of this wonderful album!

They should've put Simone here. I don't like how they only put Simone in soft parts, like Simone does not even belong to more heavy music. Ever heard of Simone's vocals on ASCENSION from Epica?

i don't fucking care. Simone's the only reason why I'm into this group. I also love the other bands featured there but Simone is unmatched for me.

Your comment will be deleted in just few seconds. ;)

Hang yourself. ;)

This album just sounds like a ton of fun to listen to , can't wait for it to arrive in the mail !!!

So then are we getting a lyric video for each song on the new album? Because if so I'd be excited for Into the Ocean and watching the Starblade dive beneath the waves, maybe during the last chorus.

Whoever puts these videos together needs to do CGI for movies. Maybe then we'd get decent graphics.

Lol. I did them and thank you so much for the compliment! You rule!

I refuse to watch till my pre-order arrives and I can see it in it's true glory first... I'm sure that it's absolutely amazing though

These always blow me away Arjen! Thanks for another lyric video. :D

I'll be the one running in very small circles for as long as I can...

One of my favorite tracks from the album, all the vocals sound incredible.

I just love this song, the chorus between Sammet and Rue (my two favourite guests) is absolutely amazing ! And the artwork is beautiful too, I'm impatient to have the earbook in my hands !

best álbum!

I think is the best song in the album :D

Best song on the album \m/

You know an album is a great album if after listening to it more than 10 times, you still don't quite know which of the songs is your favorite because there's so much to choose from.
If I have to pick though .. this one or Everybody Dies.

March of the Machines, mate.

I cannot bring myself to call March of the Machines a song, and so won't allow myself to pick it as a favorite, but it's definitely the most badass outro ever, the most amazing, frightening, and foreboding thing in music, and, thus, the best track on the album. I may be exaggerating here, but I'm in love with it.

Death Cry of a Race and Sea of Machines if I was forced to chose, but there isn't a bad track on the album.

Only complaint I have against the album is that March of the Machines isn't a 10 minute epic.

I think Sea of Machines may be my favorite, but I also absolutely love the harmonizing from Simone and Floor on All That Was... it really is hard to choose!

Love this song!

TH-1 Toehider voice sounds awesome here!

Upyrev Vladimir thanks mate! :)

His vocals... Seriously, no words can ever possibly describe them.

Safety check? Ahh, no time!

Hold onto your heeeeeeaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAADS

these lyric videos are the best thing ever

thank you!!!

yes! this is my favorite song on The Source!!

Such a chaotic tune.

lol, that Elite Dangerous footage ^_^

gotta have influences ;)

Continuing the proud tradition of many exclamation points in pulp science fiction titles ("Them!", "Make Room! Make Room!", etc.)!

this is one of my favorites of the album. michael mills' parts are so good.

Mehmet Karaca ahh thanks a lot! :)

Hey was that some Elite dangerous footage?! Sweet!! P.s. I actually named my Asp Explorer in the game the Star Blade.
