Having met up with Prototype X and Daniel at the Temple, Paul and Miriam take refuge by a huge power station at the outskirts of time. Paul reflects on what he and the others have done that brought them there that day.

Dark Green Skies
[Paul]
Toxic dark clouds bursting through rusty steel machines (poisoned)
It’s turning the sky green
We’re climbing over fences, pass biohazard signs (poisoned sky)
And we enter, unseen
Sirens wailing, cop lights fading, whispers in the air
Sirens wailing, contemplating, what are we to do?
It is gone, the life we knew.
Guilt in his eyes (Cower in the backroom, as my father pours a drink, he pours another drink now)
A grown man that cries
The ending is near
Guilt in his eyes (Days have been uneasy and the nights were black as ink, nights were black as ink)
For mercy he cries
Your terror ends here
Dusk arrives to cover this bloodstained day for me
(blood red)
The night is cold and mean
While the three of us are waiting, with this flesh obsessed machine
(blood red day)
We see lights flash through the green
Ever nearer, lights get clearer, a spaceship rushing down
The earth is quaking, trees are shaking,
yellow flames go high, decorating the green sky
Guilt in his eyes (Cower in the backroom, as my father pours a drink, he pours another drink now)
A grown man that cries
The ending is near
Guilt in his eyes (Days have been uneasy and the nights were black as ink, nights were black as ink)
For mercy he cries
Your terror ends here
I can’t believe my eyes
They’ve crashed and survived
From the wreckage they arise
I can’t believe my eyes
They’ve crashed and survived
They arise
