[30:21.00]I
[30:21.00]And the earth wept
[30:21.00]I tuck you in ever so gently
[30:21.00]Still you cried and turned from me
[30:21.00]You stepped on my heart
[30:21.00]I forgave just like mothers do
[30:21.00]From under your shoes I still carried you
[30:21.00]Soon my body will burn into ashes and dust
[30:21.00]And rain will turn all that glitters to rust
[30:21.00]One last pill for the pain
[30:21.00]Sit down let me explain
[30:21.00]Why my bruises stay
[30:21.00]My child I know you never meant to
[30:21.00]These scars just won't fade away
[30:21.00]And I'm sure you never knew
[30:21.00]I give up
[30:21.00]I give in
[30:21.00]Help December let a new year begin
[30:21.00]Take what's left
[30:21.00]And move on
[30:21.00]Fly away
[30:21.00]Be gone
[30:21.00]II
[30:21.00]Poisoned Land
[30:21.00]III
[30:21.00]Leaving home
[30:21.00]The morrow winds blow and herald a time
[30:21.00]When man will be d**ned for all his crime
[30:21.00]We all were too bold
[30:21.00]Now we all can see
[30:21.00]How the lifegiver's bleeding to death before me
[30:21.00]I am packing my bags
[30:21.00]I'
[30:21.00]Waiting in line
[30:21.00]This tragedy forces us away from this land
[30:21.00]As I board this creature of steel
[30:21.00]I kiss her good bye
[30:21.00]Give her time to heal
[30:21.00]IV
[30:21.00]Take off
[30:21.00]Loud sirens wail to send a
[30:21.00]Goldonder towards the light
[30:21.00]Leaving the ground we bathe in starlight
[30:21.00]While heading for oceans of night
[30:21.00]Safe in Aniara's warm and tender care we ride
[30:21.00]Eight thousand hearts that fled the fires
[30:21.00]For a life at a distant home
[30:21.00]V
[30:21.00]A Turn for the worse
[30:21.00]A swerve to clear the Hondo stone
[30:21.00]Now we proclaim it known
[30:21.00]Took us off course came too wide of Mars to
[30:21.00]Turn back home
[30:21.00]There's no turning back
[30:21.00]Guiding units broke
[30:21.00]And cracked
[30:21.00]We will never win this game
[30:21.00]From pledges and bonds
[30:21.00]Our system of suns
[30:21.00]Locked down its vaulted gateway
[30:21.00]In thousands of years ram through the final frontier
[30:21.00]The Lyre greets us there
[30:21.00]Our ship at drift into the void
[30:21.00]Through nothingness deployed
[30:21.00]With an empty stare become aware
[30:21.00]Our lives destroyed
[30:21.00]Fears are hard to hide
[30:21.00]Praying as denial subsides
[30:21.00]We can never win this game
[30:21.00]From pledges and bonds
[30:21.00]Our system of suns
[30:21.00]Locked down its vaulted gateway
[30:21.00]In thousands of years ram through the final frontier
[30:21.00]A moth to a flame
[30:21.00]VI
[30:21.00]A new balance
[30:21.00]Glass like is the stare encircling us
[30:21.00]The systems of stars hang frozen still
[30:21.00]A gaze through the window
[30:21.00]Six years down the line we still feign dawn and sunset
[30:21.00]But space no light will spawn
[30:21.00]Eternally darker
[30:21.00]Now setting sails
[30:21.00]But never know the worlds she's treading
[30:21.00]Where the life belongs
[30:21.00]Mima lead the way
[30:21.00]Shine your light
[30:21.00]Be the beacon of hope at night
[30:21.00]Be our guide
[30:21.00]I need what you're doing to me
[30:21.00]Shine your light
[30:21.00]Blind us when reality bites
[30:21.00]We so need the magic she does
[30:21.00]I asked me a question
[30:21.00]No reply
[30:21.00]I dreamt me a life and live a lie
[30:21.00]Dream me a nightmare
[30:21.00]I traveled the stars but passed them by
[30:21.00]For trapped on Aniara here was
[30:21.00]Always been leaving
[30:21.00]We sit and stare
[30:21.00]At all the marvels that she brings us
[30:21.00]Lights the life in you
[30:21.00]Mima lead the way
[30:21.00]Shin your light
[30:21.00]Be the beacon of hope at night
[30:21.00]Perfect grace in the barren house of space
[30:21.00]Shine your light
[30:21.00]Blind us when reality bites
[30:21.00]Mima
[30:21.00]Save us from seeing ourselves
[30:21.00]VII
[30:21.00]Death of the Goddesses
[30:21.00]Inside the Mima's eyes
[30:21.00]We lived our lives
[30:21.00]Then like an arrow through this jest
[30:21.00]Destiny sent us a greeting from home
[30:21.00]Let us see：
[30:21.00]We have no home anymore
[30:21.00]While Mima showed the final war
[30:21.00]Her circuits bled and fried as our mother died
[30:21.00]She's darkened by our sin
[30:21.00]We begin to realize it
[30:21.00]When I saw home so blue
[30:21.00]Be torn in two
[30:21.00]All by the hands of her own child
[30:21.00]Humanity
[30:21.00]The festering cancer that
[30:21.00]Dug her own grave
[30:21.00]We have no home anymore
[30:21.00]While Mima showed the final war
[30:21.00]Her circuits bled and fried
[30:21.00]Seems she too will die
[30:21.00]Our haven's dying
[30:21.00]I couldn't stop them if I tried
[30:21.00]As they all rushed to see her die
[30:21.00]Chaos
[30:21.00]Panic
[30:21.00]People fight
[30:21.00]I can't see
[30:21.00]I will not
[30:21.00]I won't
[30:21.00]Our way of life is overthrown
[30:21.00]Is there really no way
[30:21.00]Let us turn back time
[30:21.00]VIII
[30:21.00]The age of confusion：Despair
[30:21.00]In the deafening silence people mourn
[30:21.00]We've cried us a river
[30:21.00]Who knows where all laughter be
[30:21.00]On whom we place the blame
[30:21.00]Her demise was theirs
[30:21.00]Stained by their disease her screen recedes
[30:21.00]Our real eyes realized
[30:21.00]They beguile us all with their minds
[30:21.00]IX
[30:21.00]The age of confusion：Lust
[30:21.00]Our lusting flesh and piety
[30:21.00]All coexist in the mist
[30:21.00]Put aside your chastity
[30:21.00]Unveiling skin
[30:21.00]Magical sin
[30:21.00]Controls the pile of heaving flesh
[30:21.00]A twisted queen
[30:21.00]Sleep with me and work the loins
[30:21.00]The mind will stray
[30:21.00]Yield to life
[30:21.00]X
[30:21.00]The age of confusion：Reason
[30:21.00]And as the orgies all fade
[30:21.00]And lust no longer attracts
[30:21.00]Then the brain will subdue the flesh
[30:21.00]Put the focus on facts
[30:21.00]Human brain was a shameful part
[30:21.00]Low names were high for loins and for breast
[30:21.00]Us Hades may harvest
[30:21.00]Fully at its behest
[30:21.00]XI
[30:21.00]The aftermath
[30:21.00]I still cry and I still miss her
[30:21.00]I was just a little boy
[30:21.00]Running through the endless garden of our home
[30:21.00]Away some say never
[30:21.00]Ever
[30:21.00]We'll leave this god forsake place
[30:21.00]And ten thousand shivers
[30:21.00]Remain as we part
[30:21.00]We're holding on
[30:21.00]Within our cradle of confusion
[30:21.00]We paint no rainbows in the dark
[30:21.00]No one will ever see us fade away
[30:21.00]O for so long
[30:21.00]I was the wielder of illusions
[30:21.00]Our goddess gave in when she saw
[30:21.00]That we had killed the earth and burst to flames
[30:21.00]Every smile on every face
[30:21.00]Fell and crashed onto the floor
[30:21.00]All alone in the world crying desperately
[30:21.00]Away some say never
[30:21.00]Ever we'll leave this god forsaken place
[30:21.00]And ten thousand shivers
[30:21.00]Remain as we part
[30:21.00]We're holding on
[30:21.00]Within our cradle of confusion
[30:21.00]We paint no rainbows in the dark
[30:21.00]No one will ever see us fade away
[30:21.00]Oh for so long
[30:21.00]I was the wielder of illusions
[30:21.00]But there's no hiding what we are
[30:21.00]We are the plague of all
[30:21.00]For humanity there is no cure
[30:21.00]God and Satan hand in hand
[30:21.00]Through this badland
[30:21.00]Took a flight uphill and down from man
[30:21.00]A king with with ashen crown
[30:21.00]XII
[30:21.00]Dining on ashes
[30:21.00]What we reap is what we sow
[30:21.00]Naked our truth smugly glows
[30:21.00]We leave all games behind
[30:21.00]Because
[30:21.00]It took twenty years to come and go
[30:21.00]Then only did we all know
[30:21.00]And see how wrinkled and jaded we had grown
[30:21.00]Looking out the window
[30:21.00]But there's nothing new
[30:21.00]Only darkness stares at you
[30:21.00]I would die to see the rain below the rainbow
[30:21.00]Just like others do
[30:21.00]We crown the skies with our tiara
[30:21.00]The life and fate of Aniara
[30:21.00]We write an endless symphony
[30:21.00]Now thousands were weeping
[30:21.00]And hundreds cried in dismay
[30:21.00]Twenty years today
[30:21.00]Repenting sinners pray
[30:21.00]Easy come and easy go
[30:21.00]We could have had it all you know
[30:21.00]Man's final day is here
[30:21.00]Search for silver dig for gold
[30:21.00]His desires now untold
[30:21.00]Looking out the window
[30:21.00]All that he can see
[30:21.00]His own reflection's final plea
[30:21.00]I would die to see the rain below the rainbow
[30:21.00]Just like others do
[30:21.00]We crown the skies with our tiara
[30:21.00]The life and fate of Aniara
[30:21.00]We write an endless symphony
[30:21.00]Now thousands were weeping
[30:21.00]And hundreds cried in dismay
[30:21.00]Twenty years today
[30:21.00]Repenting sinners will wither and fade
[30:21.00]XIII
[30:21.00]The curtain falls
[30:21.00]Gladness fleeting
[30:21.00]By whims and luck
[30:21.00]That is the way of life
[30:21.00]Looking
[30:21.00]Searching our hearts
[30:21.00]To find the why of it all
[30:21.00]Finding no way to our home
[30:21.00]See
[30:21.00]In silence we faded
[30:21.00]Our great escape
[30:21.00]Twenty four years inside
[30:21.00]Looking
[30:21.00]Searching our ship
[30:21.00]For life but just dust
[30:21.00]Falls on the graves of all
[30:21.00]The halls of our ship now are void of all but death
[30:21.00]Our lives have passed
[30:21.00]Our hearts were broken by the endless dark
[30:21.00]Our new paradise
[30:21.00]The one to replace the one we burned so bad
[30:21.00]The god we hoped for left profaned
[30:21.00]All wounded and forlorn on the home we scarred
[30:21.00]Now here I stand
[30:21.00]My dear
[30:21.00]One heart still beats
[30:21.00]I bid you farewell
[30:21.00]The curtain will now descend
[30:21.00]Somewhere in time we were living
[30:21.00]Remember us then
