Part 1 - They're Coming to Get You

Time is slowly melting,
The oddballs are coming to get you,
Reclaiming the corners of your mind,
Won't stop until each one has met you

They are running through your mind
So you'd better run back to reality
You can't beat insanity

They are coming back inside again
So you'd better drop the insecurity
You can be a sheep or be free

Cut out the act, stop pretending
That you have got nothing to hide
The real you is hidden so deeply
You'd need a chainsaw to get it outside

Stars in the sky are now falling
The good times are over and gone
Clouds passing by are now crawling
I think I've been living too long

==============================

Part 2 - Where it all Began

This is where it all began
Don't trust everything you hear
Just try to understand

Feel yourself get locked up tight
Never again will I trust you

No time to reinvent yourself
Time to focus on your fear
Better invest in your dying wealth

==============================

Part 3 - Ascent of the Hill

In the sky see the fireflies glow
Days are gone before you know
Mark the way for you to go

Feel the wind gently brushing by
Sending gold to the sky
Makes you wish you could fly

Can you see the soldiers marching on?
Hand in hand as they sing their song
Over hills and far beyond
To the place where they belong

==============================

Part 4 - The Wise Old Sage

Well the wise old sage was woken by the soldiers marching feet
So he lit a fire in his iron spire and trimmed his beard neat
And he set out from his hilltop lair to find out just who did it
And when he questioned the noisy group of men not no one would admit it, so he said

You'd better look both ways 'cos it's far from over
The prophecy foretold has just begun
They say what doesn't make you stronger kills you
And if you slip up once then you're good as done

With the geometric head of Magog swinging to and fro
The soldiers looked on terrified as the fire from the spire began to grow
And the very earth began to crack as the old sage cast the spell
So the brave men turned and fled the hill like a thousand bats out of hell

==============================

Part 5 - Fugue for Strings and Organ

(Instrumental)

==============================

Part 6 - The Odd One Out

I've always been the odd one out. Nothing to shout about you say? Well I'm shouting about it anyway.
Why won't you come play hide and seek? They say I'm just a freak but I'm just freaking unique.

The royal guards march to a dismal band going hand in hand to a distant land, beyond the hill and far away, what's right about the springtime when there's nothing left to say?

Gimme the Yins and the Yangs with the feline fangs, they're all just hanging round the rooftops in their midnight gangs.

Stars in the sky, clouds that wander by..

Stars in the sky are forming Ursa Major as cumulonimbus clouds rampage by,
Like a supernova Emo over old big Ben, the cosmic saucepan is doomed to die,

Doomed to die, and I have always been the odd one out.
