Ayreon, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Jørn Lande, Floor Jansen, Tom Englund - The Sixth Extinction lyrics

(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 I I - Radioactive Grave)

(Hansi Kürsch:) Do you hear the sirens?


(Daniel Gildenlöw:) 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!
(Jørn Lande:) I can feel them dying!
(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:) Washed
Away by deadly gamma waves!
(Hansi Kürsch:) Do you hear them calling?
(Daniel Gildenlöw:) 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!
(Jørn Lande:) I can feel them failing!
(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:) Washed away
By a scorching sea of fire!

(Hansi Kürsch:) Do you hear the sirens?
(Daniel Gildenlöw:) 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
(Jørn Lande:) I can see them dying
(Jonas Renkse And Floor Jansen:) Washed
Away by deadly gamma waves!

(Part I I I - 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 Gildenlöw:)
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

(Jørn Lande:)
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!

(Part IV - To The Planet Of Red)

(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 Kürsch:) 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 Gildenlöw:)
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?

(Jørn Lande:) we have no chance
We are the future we are the pain
Complete the Circle

(Steve Lee:) Ah!
