Ayreon: The Sixth Extinction

'''''(Part I - Echoes On The Wind)'''''

''(Tom Englund:)'' It's the calm before the storm
It's the quiet before the war
It's the time when all will be decided
''(Steve Lee:)'' All will be decided
''(Tom Englund:)'' If nobody heeds the echoes on the wind

''(Tom Englund:)'' It's the end of the chain
''(Steve Lee:)'' Destruction of the fittest
''(Tom Englund:)'' It's the end of our reign
''(Steve Lee:)'' We've seen it all before
''(Tom Englund:)'' It's the end of man's evolution
''(Steve Lee:)'' The end of the evolution
''(Tom Englund:)'' For nobody heeds the echoes on the wind

'''''(Part II - Radioactive Grave)'''''

''(Hansi Krsch:)'' Do you hear the sirens?
''(Daniel Gildenlw:)'' Do you see the burst?
''(Steve Lee:)'' Do you feel the fire?
''(Jonas Renkse:)'' All the world's a radioactive grave!
''(Tom Englund:)'' I can hear them crying!
''(Bob Catley:)'' I can see the fear!
''(Jrn Lande:)'' I can feel them dying!
''(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:)'' Washed away by deadly gamma waves!
''(Hansi Krsch:)'' Do you hear them calling?
''(Daniel Gildenlw:)'' Do you see the hurt?
''(Steve Lee:)'' Do you feel them failing?
''(Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen:)'' All the world's a blazing funeral pyre!
''(Tom Englund:)'' I can hear the wailing!
''(Bob Catley:)'' I can see the wrath!
''(Jrn Lande:)'' I can feel them failing!
''(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:)'' Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!

''(Hansi Krsch:)'' Do you hear the sirens?
''(Daniel Gildenlw:)'' Do you see the burst?
''(Steve Lee:)'' Do you feel the fire?
''(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:)'' All the world's a radioactive grave!
''(Tom Englund:)'' I can hear them crying
''(Bob Catley:)'' I can see the fear
''(Jrn Lande:)'' I can see them dying
''(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:)'' Washed away by deadly gamma waves!

'''''(Part III - 2085)'''''

''(Jonas Renkse:)''
Silence so loud, not a soul... left alive
Darkness a shroud 2085
All our dreams have disappeared
They burned down, tree of life
Confirming all that we have feared 2085

''(Bob Catley:)''
Don't give up, remember how we felt
Fire rushing through our veins
Now's the time to rise up from our hell
Now's the time to free our brains

''(Steve Lee:)''
The meaning of life is to give life meaning
Go too fast, move too slow
Restore the balance between thinking and feeling, open up and let it flow

''(Jonas Renkse:)''
No side has won, struggle to... survive
Our quest here is done 2085
All our hopes have disappeared
Our race will... not thrive
Time will not recall year 2085

''(Daniel Gildenlw:)''
Don't give in, remember all we learned
The spark of life it did ignite
We regained the rage for which we yearned
We regained our will to fight

''(Jrn Lande:)''
We must resolve this human equation
We're already dead if we don't try
To welcome challenge, genetic variation
Stop the machines, prepare to die!

'''''(Part IV - To The Planet Of Red)'''''

''(Instrumental)''

'''''(Part V - Spirit On The Wind)'''''

''(Tom Englund:)'' He's the last man alive
''(Steve Lee:)'' Searching for the answers
''(Tom Englund:)'' Knowing he won't survive
''(Steve Lee:)'' To the mystery of life
''(Tom Englund:)'' Relives the past, and dreams of the future
''(Steve Lee:)'' Dreaming of the future
''(Tom Englund:)'' And soon he'll set free
''(Steve Lee:)'' And the sleeper will awake
''(Tom Englund:)'' His spirit on the wind

'''''(Part VI - Complete The Circle)'''''

''(All:)''
Make us whole, Migrator soul
Follow me home, complete the circle
We must survive, restore our lives
The way I'll show, complete the circle

''(Hansi Krsch:)''
Send back visions
Into the past
Of war and decay

''(Floor Jansen:)''
Hear the final cries!
I can see them feel
In a world without walls

''(Anneke Van Giersbergen:)''
Through their eyes

''(Tom Englund:)''
I see them dying
We have to teach them
Migrator soul

''(Daniel Gildenlw:)''
We regained our will to fight
We regained
We found a way

''(Steve Lee:)''
I know we'll make it in the end
Listen to the warning

''(Bob Catley:)''
We gave them language
What did they say?
What did they learn?

''(Jrn Lande:)''
We have no chance
We are the future
We are the pain
Complete the Circle

''(Steve Lee:)'' Ah!!!!
