Ayreon (Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian; Anneke van Giersbergen of Agua de Annique, ex-Gathering; Floor Jansen of After Forever; - The Sixth Extinction | Текст песни
[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 hears 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 evolution [Tom Englund:] For nobody heeds the echoes on the wind
[2. Radioactive Grave]
[*] [Hansi Kursch:] Do you hear the sirens? [Daniel Gildenlow:] Do you see them burst? [Steve Lee:] Do you feel the fire? [Jonas Renske and Floor Jansen:] All the world's a radioactive grave! [Tom Englund:] I can hear them crying [Bob Catley:] I can see the fear [Jorn Lande:] I can see them dying [Jonas Renske and Floor Jansen:] Washed away by deadly gamma waves!
[Hansi Kursch:] Do you hear them calling? [Daniel Gildenlow:] Do you see them hurt? [Steve Lee:] Do you feel them falling? [Jonas Renske 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! [Jorn Lande:] I can see them failing [Jonas Renske and Floor Jansen:] Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!
[repeat *]
[3. 2085]
[Jonas Renske:] 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
[Bob Catley:] 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
[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 Renske:] 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
[Daniel Gildenlow:] 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
[Jorn Lande:] 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]
[5. Spirit Of The Wind]
[Tom Englund:] He's the last man alive [Steve Lee:] Searching for the answer [Tom Englund:] Knowing he won't survive [Steve Lee:] To the mystery of live [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:] 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 The way I'll show, complete the circle [x2]
[Hansi Kursch:] Send back visions Into the past Of war and decay
[Floor Jansen:] Hear the final cries! I can see the fear 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 Gildenlow:] We will gain our will to fight We're at the dawn We found a way
[Steve Lee:] I know we'll make it in the end Listen to the one man
[Bob Catley:] We gave them language What did they say? What did they learn?
[Jorn Lande:] We have no choice We are the future We are the pain Complete the Circle!
