The Sixth Extinction Lyrics - 01011001 - 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, 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 too 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!
