The Sixth Extinction Songtext

von Ayreon

[1. Echoes on the Wind]

It's the calm before the storm
It's the quiet before the roar
It's the time when all will be decided.
(All will be decided)
But nobody hears
The Echoes on the Wind

It's the end of the chain
(Destruction of the feelings)
It's the end of our game
(We're seeing as before)
It's the end of man's evolution
(The end of the evolution)
But nobody hears
The echoes on the wind

[2. Radioactive Grave]

Do you hear the sirens?
Do you see the burst?
Do you feel the fire?
All the world's radioactive grave!

I can hear them crying
I can see the fear
I can see them dying
Washed away by deadly gamma waves!

Do you hear them calling?
Do you see the hurt?
Do you feel them failing?
All the world's a blazing funeral pyre!

I can hear the wailing
I can see the wrath
I can see them failing
Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!

Do you hear the sirens?
Do you see the burst?
Do you feel the fire?
All the world's radioactive grave!

I can hear them crying
I can see the fear
I can see them dying
Washed away by deadly gamma waves!

[3. 2085]

Silence's 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 feared
2085

Don't give up
Remember how we felt
Fire rushing through our veins

Now it's the time
To rise up from our hell
Now it's the time to free our brains

The meaning of life is to
Give life meaning
Don't you fast, move too slow.

Restore the balance
Between thinking and feeling
Open up and let it flow

No side has won
Struggled to survive
Our quest here is done
2085
All our hopes have disappeared
Our race will
Not describe
Time will not bring color here
2085

Don't give in
Remember all we learned
The spark of life if did ignite

We're again, The rest for which we earth
We're again, A wealthy fire

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

[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)
He lives the past, and dreams of the future
(Dreaming of the future)
And 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 you home
Complete the Circle
We must survive
Restore our lives
Always be sure
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!
