The Sixth Extinction
Ayreon

[1. Echoes on the Wind]


It's the calm before the storm

It's the quiet before the war

It's the time when all will be decided.

(All will be decided)

if nobody heeds

The Echoes on the Wind


It's the end of the chain

(Destruction of the fittest)

It's the end of our reign

(We're seen it all before)

It's the end of man's evolution

(The end of evolution)

For nobody heeds

The echoes on the wind


[2. Radioactive Grave]


Do you hear the sirens?

Do you see them burst?

Do you feel the fire?

All the world's a radioactive grave!

(Grunt)


I can hear them crying

I can see the fear

I can feel them dying

Washed away by deadly gamma waves!

(Grunt)


Do you hear them calling

Do you see the hurt?

Do you feel them falling?

(Grunt)


I can hear the wailing!

I can see their wrath!

I can feel them failing!

Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!

(Grunt)

Do you hear the sirens?

Do you see them burst?

Do you feel the fire?

(Grunt)


I can hear them crying

I can see the fear

I can feel them dying

(Grunt)


[3. 2085]


Silence so loud

Not a soul...left alive

Darkness's a shroud

2085

All our dreams have disappeared

They burned down, tree of life

Confirming all that we have feared

2085


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


The meaning of life is to

Give life meaning

go tot fast, move too slow.


Restore the balance

Between thinking and feeling

Open up and let it flow


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 the year

2085


Don't give in

Remember all we learned

The spark of life if did ignite


we regained the rage for which we yearned

we regained our will to fight


We must resolve this human equation

We're already dead if we don't try

To welcome challenge, generic variation

Stop the machines, prepare to die!


[4. To the Planet of Red]


[Instrumental]


[5. Spirit of the Wind]


He's the last man alive

(Searching for the answer)

Knowing he won't survive

(To the mystery of live)

relives the past, and dreams of the future

(Dreaming of the future)

soon he'll set free

(And the sleeper will awake)

The Spirit of The Wind


[6. Complete the Circle]


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 [x2]


Send back visions

Into the past

Of war and decay

Hear the final cries!


I see them dying

We have to teach them

Migrator soul


We're gain over to fly

We're already die

We found a way


I know we're knocking at the end

Listen to the One man


We gave them a language

What did they say

What did they learn


We have no chance

We are the future

We are the pain

Complete the Circle!
