"The Sixth Extinction" - Ayreon (2008)
[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 them burst?
Do you feel the fire?
(Grunt)
I can hear them crying
I can see their fear
I can see them dying
(Grunt)
Do you hear them calling
Do you see them hurt?
Do you feel them falling?
(Grunt)
I can't think of waiting
I can see their hearts
I can see them fading
(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 their fear
I can see them dying
(Grunt)
[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!
