Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s Star One, Alessandro Del Vecchio, Jens Johansson, Joel Hoekstra, Will Shaw, Joe Lynn - The Year of '41 lyrics

Lightning strikes as we sail toward the light
Then the day turns to night
A storm is raging, waves are crashing down
Fear and chaos all around

The sound of thunder, pounding in our ears
The world around us disappears
Tensions high, a portal in the sky
As we all vanish in the light

Restore the past, derail the future
(What will the future hold)
Are we to change the course of history?
(This story yet untold)
This is the year of '41
And the war has just begun
(But can we change the path of time)
We must defy the laws of nature
(Let's see what lies ahead)
We are the masters of our destiny
(What will we find instead)
This the reason we were cast
40 years into the past
(Now we can change it)

Are we but players inside a game
Some crazy simulation
An army toy, a military ploy
Some other means to destroy

Or did we really travel back in time
To a world undefined
A twist of fate, an ancient date
An altered state, a cosmic gate

Restore the past, derail the future
(What will the future hold)
Are we to change the course of history?
(This story yet untold)
This is the year of '41
And the war has just begun
(But can we change the path of time)
We must defy the laws of nature
(Let's see what lies ahead)
We are the masters of our destiny
(What will we find instead)
This the reason we were cast
40 years into the past
(Now we can change it)

Restore the past, derail the future
(What will the future hold)
Are we to change the course of history?
(This story yet untold)
This is the year of '41
And the war has just begun
(But can we change the path of time)
We must defy the laws of nature
(Let's see what lies ahead)
We are the masters of our destiny
(What will we find instead)
This the reason we were cast
40 years into the past
(Now we can change it)
