Ayreon - The Sixth Extinction Lyrics
[1. Echoes On The Wind]
[Tom Englund:]
It's the calm before the storm
It's the quiet before the war
[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 Gildenlöw:] 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
[Jonas Renske and Floor Jansen:] Washed away by deadly gamma waves!
[Hansi Kursch:] Do you hear them calling?
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] 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!
[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 Gildenlöw:]
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]
[Instrumental]
[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 Gildenlöw:]
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!
[Steve Lee:] AH!!!!

Thank you for sharing Arjen!
Those Complete the circle trade offs ... just pure goosebumps.
!!!!GREAAEAAETTT!1!!
Lyrics in italiano:
[1. Echi nel vento]
É la calma prima della tempesta
É la pace prima della battaglia
É l'ora in cui tutto viene deciso
tutto sarà deciso
se nessuno presta attenzione agli echi nel vento
É la fine della catena
Distruzione totale
É la fine del nostro regno
l'avevamo previsto
É la fine dell'evoluzione umana
La fine dell'evoluzione
perchè nessuno presta attenzione agli echi nel vento
[2. Tomba radioattiva]
Puoi sentire le sirene?
Puoi vedere la loro luce?
Puoi sentire il fuoco?
tutto il mondo è una tomba radioattiva!
Posso sentirli piangere
Posso sentire la paura
Posso vederli morire
spazzati via da mortali raggi gamma!
Puoi sentirli chiamare?
Li vedi soffrire?
Li senti cadere?
Tutto il mondo è una pira funebre accesa
Posso sentire i pianti!
Posso vedere l'ira!
Posso sentirli fallire
spazzati via da un bruciante mare di fuoco!
Puoi sentire le sirene?
Puoi vedere la loro luce?
Puoi sentire il fuoco?
tutto il mondo è una tomba radioattiva!
Posso sentirli piangere
Posso sentire la paura
Posso vederli morire
spazzati via da mortali raggi gamma!
Puoi sentirli chiamare?
Li vedi soffrire?
Li senti cadere?
Tutto il mondo è una pira funebre accesa
Posso sentire i pianti!
Posso vedere l'ira!
Posso sentirli fallire
spazzati via da un bruciante mare di fuoco!
[3. 2085]
Il silenzio è così rumoroso, non un'anima si è salvata
L'oscurità è un sudario
2085
Tutti i nostri sogni si sono infranti
sono bruiati... albero di vita
I nostri timori sono confermati
2085
Non arrenderti, ricorda come ci sentivamo
il fuoco scorre nelle nostre vene
ora è il momento di risorgere dall'inferno
ora è il momento di liberare le nostre menti
Il senso della vita è are un senso alla vita
vai troppo forte, muoviti troppo piano
riporta l'equilibrio tra ragione e sentimento
apriti e fai che fluisca
Non ci sono vincitori, battaglia per la sopravvivenza
il nostro compito è terminato
2085
tutte le nostre speranze si sono dissolte
la nostra razza non sopravviverà
il tempo non ricorderà l'anno
2085
Non arrenderti, ricorda tutto quello che abbiamo imparato
la scintilla di vita se accesa
abbiamo riguadagnato la rabbia che desideravamo
abbiamo riguadagnato la nostra voglia di combattere
Dobbiamo risolvere quest'equazione umana
siamo morti se non ci proviamo
accettare la sfida, variazioni genetiche
fermate le macchine, preparatevi a morire!
[4. Sul pianeta rosso]
(solo strumentale)
[5. Spirito del Vento]
É l'ultimo uomo in vita
in cerca della risposta
sapendo che non sopravviverà
al mistero della vita
rivivendo il passato e sogni del futuro
sognando il futuro
e presto sarà liberato
e l'addormentato si sveglierà
lo spirito del vento
[6. Completa il cerchio]
Rendici un tutt'uno, anima del Migrator
Ti seguiamo a casa, completa il cerchio
dobbiamo sopravvivere, ricominciare le nostre vite
Mostrerò la via, completa il cerchio
Mostrerò la via, completa il cerchio
Invia visioni
nel passato
di guerra e decadenza
Ascolta le grida finali!
posso vedere la paura
in un mondo senza mura
Attraverso i loro occhi
Li vedo morire
dobbiamo insegnargli
Anima del Migrator
Conquisteremo la nostra voglia di lottare
siamo all'inizio
abbiamo trovato una via
So che ce la faremo alla fine
ascolta l'unico uomo
Abbiamo dato loro il Linguaggio
cos'hanno detto?
Cos'hanno imparato?
Non abbiamo scelta
siamo il futuro
siamo il dolore
completa il cerchio!
Ahhhh!

Seems the title of this song isn’t quite dissimilar to our eventual reality. I’m going to be listening to this song on The Day that the World Breaks Down
If Yosemite Sam could listen to this song, he would say the outro is the most goosebumpinest, cold-sweatinest, boner erectinest, drip-inducinest riff he's ever heard.
Bravo Arjen
The wonderful song ......magnifica!!!!!!!🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Still listening!!! 2019 Best song ever!!!
I like this 1000000 times more than anything dream theater has produced from 2002 onwards...
To be true I gotta say I love Ayreon since I'm a child, when my father purchased The Final Experiment and we listened it all along.
At the time I couldn't understand the lyrics .
But I loved it. When I could I looked upon the Internet and that was a Blast, I listened to every albums over and over and growing up I understood what this was all about.
I was shocked and I cried to some songs from every albums, not only cried ofc those songs are so inspirational and helped me achieved a great deal in my life for now.
The Source was epic when it was released but,
But my top 3 from Ayreon would always be Into The Electric Castle, The Human Equation, and 01011001. Too much feels on those 3, but the Universal Migrator also holds a special place.
If Arjen and Ayreon ever tours in Paris I'm gonna bring my dad and cry of joy.
"Stop the Machine! Prepare to Die"
Perfection .
A masterpiece Arjen
One of the best songs ever
😍🎼🎼
Summer 2010, a good friend of mine from Germany sent me this song... Ever since, I'm a die hard fan!
This is the type of song that's so awesome I can literally write a five-page essay about how awesome it is.
Outro = goosebumps and cold shivers. Every. Single. Time.
I heard Y around the time of release, but only now it dawns on me I rather can't live without it, and instead of downloading of course I'll buy it to pay homage to the right of the hard working artists, the pleasures it gave & will give. What a service to humanity Ayreon is! Takk/thanks from Norway for releasing it freely [come over on a camp trip in summertime and behold the peaceful fjords :]
The best!
Humanity: we need more ayreon!
Parents: we tried ... and failed
Children: we listened to this
I thought Jonas Renske couldn't growl anymore
I was wrong
Portuguese Lyrics ;-)
A Sexta Extinção
[Os Eternos observam com horror como cada último humano na Terra perece em um apocalipse nuclear.]
[Ato I - Ecos do vento]
[Tom Englund:]
É a calma antes da tempestade
É o silêncio antes da guerra
É a hora em que tudo será decidido.
[Steve Lee:] Tudo será decidido
[Tom Englund:] Se ninguém ouve os ecos do vento
[Tom Englund:] É o fim da cadeia
[Steve Lee:] Destruição do mais apto
[Tom Englund:] É o fim do nosso reinado
[Steve Lee:] Já vimos isso tudo antes
[Tom Englund:] É o fim da evolução do homem
[Steve Lee:] O fim da evolução
[Tom Englund:] Pois ninguém presta atenção aos ecos do vento
[Ato II - Sepultura Radioativa]
[Hansi Kursch:] Você ouve as sirenes?
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] Você os vê explodir?
[Steve Lee:] Você sente o fogo?
[Jonas Renske e Floor Jansen:] Todo o mundo é uma sepultura radioativa!
[Tom Englund:] Eu posso ouvi-los chorando
[Bob Catley:] Eu posso ver o medo
[Jorn Lande:] Eu posso vê-los morrendo
[Jonas Renske e Floor Jansen:] Eliminados por raios gama mortais!
[Hansi Kursch:] Você os ouve chamando?
[Daniel Gildenlöw:] Você os vê feridos?
[Steve Lee:] Você os sente caindo?
[Jonas Renske e Floor Jansen:] Todo o mundo é uma pira funerária em chamas!
[Tom Englund:] Eu posso ouvir o lamento!
[Bob Catley:] Eu posso ver a ira!
[Jorn Lande:] Eu posso vê-los falhando
[Jonas Renske e Floor Jansen:] Eliminados por um mar escaldante de fogo!
[Ato III - 2084]
[A guerra acabou, mas a humanidade também. No entanto, um lampejo de esperança ainda permanece, pois esta experiência ensinou aos Eternos algo importante.]
[Jonas Renske:] O silêncio é tão alto, nenhuma alma ... saiu viva
A escuridão é uma mortalha
2084
Todos os nossos sonhos desapareceram
Eles queimaram ... árvore da vida
Confirmando tudo o que temíamos
2084
[Bob Catley:]
Não desista, lembre-se de como nos sentimos
Fogo correndo em nossas veias
Agora é a hora de se levantar do nosso inferno
Agora é a hora de libertar nossos cérebros
[Steve Lee:]
O significado da vida é dar à vida significado
Vai tão rápido, se move tão devagar.
Restaure o equilíbrio entre o pensar e sentir
Abra e deixe fluir
[Jonas Renske:]
Nenhum lado ganhou, luta para ... sobreviver
Nossa missão aqui é feita
2084
Todas as nossas esperanças desapareceram
Nossa raça ... não irá prosperar
O tempo não lembrará o ano
2084
[Daniel Gildenlöw:]
Não desista, lembre-se de tudo que aprendemos
A faísca da vida se inflamar
Nós recuperamos a raiva pela qual nós ansiamos
Nós recuperamos nossa vontade de lutar
[Jorn Lande:]
Nós devemos resolver esta equação humana
Nós já estamos mortos se não tentarmos
Para receber o desafio, a variação genética
Pare as máquinas, prepare-se para morrer!
[Ato IV - Para o planeta Vermelho]
[Instrumental]
[Ato V - Espírito do vento]
[Sem mais nada para eles na Terra, os Eternos concentram sua atenção no último sobrevivente de Marte, enquanto aguardam a chegada do Novo Migrador Universal para leva-los para fora da Era das Sombras.]
[Tom Englund:] Ele é o último homem vivo
[Steve Lee:] Procurando pela resposta
[Tom Englund:] Sabendo que ele não vai sobreviver
[Steve Lee:] Para o mistério da vida
[Tom Englund:] Revive o passado e sonha com o futuro
[Steve Lee:] Sonhando com o futuro
[Tom Englund:] E logo ele vai libertar
[Steve Lee:] E o dorminhoco vai acordar
[Tom Englund:] O espírito do vento
[Ato VI - Complete o Ciclo]
Nos torne completos, Alma do Migrador
Siga para sua casa, complete o ciclo
Nós devemos sobreviver, restaurar nossas vidas
A maneira que eu mostrarei, complete o ciclo [x2]
[Hansi Kursch:]
Envie visões de volta
Para o passado
De guerra e decadência
[Floor Jansen:]
Ouça os gritos finais!
Eu posso ver o medo
Em um mundo sem paredes
[Anneke van Giersbergen:] Através dos seus olhos eu....
[Tom Englund:]
Eu os vejo morrendo
Nós temos que ensiná-los
Alma do Migrador
[Daniel Gildenlöw:]
Nós vamos ganhar a nossa vontade de lutar
Estamos no alvorecer
Nós encontramos um caminho
[Steve Lee:]
Eu sei que vamos fazer isso no final
Ouça o aviso
[Bob Catley:]
Nós lhes demos a língua
O que eles disseram?
O que eles aprenderam?
[Jorn Lande:]
Nós não temos escolha
Nós somos o futuro
Nós somos a dor
Complete o Ciclo!
[Steve Lee:] AH !!!!
"The Sixth Extinction"
[1. 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 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 Gildenlöw:] 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 Gildenlöw:] 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!

[3. 2085]
[Jonas Renske:] Silence's so loud, not a soul... left alive

Restore the balance between thinking and feeling

All our hopes have disappeared
Our race will... not thrive

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'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]

Complete the Circle!
[Steve Lee:] AH!!!!
Steve's voice, though.
Amazing end! Holly smokes!
So nostalgic end !!! I want more of them !!! Don’t give up and go on !!!
The meaning of life is to give life meaning. That line is my favorite😶
Mine too.
Also the staff in the last school I went to.
best final ever
the opening to this song is amazing
Tom tum tom tum tom tum tom tum tom tum tom tum
i mean after that part :| when the other instruments join
The "Migrator Soul" part is just... Just... <3
It usually moves me to tears. (Migrator Soul = My Greater Soul)
Now, a question is echoing inside my head. TH-1 turned into the new frame (or turned to be the old one, idk) what happened but what after it? The migrator came again, but still TH-1 around? And Jorn says "stop the machines", what make me think that they are in control, so, there's no Frame around. But, what about TH-1? Was "he" the Eletric Castle from the old album and a different Eletric Castle from Alpha Frame(a.k.a. Eletric Castle)? Ahhh so many questions....
I think that the answer to your questions depend on the answer that forevers gave to the questions on The Human Compulsion.
Do we belong here, do we hide behind our dreams?
Can we live without machines?
Can we resist our compulsion to explore?
Or will we always hunt for more?
Liquid Eternity perpetuates our lives
But will it paralyze our minds?
Without the danger, can we still evolve?
Will our passions all dissolve?
Remember Alpha, the source of human life
Will our history be revived?
Who knows what they did between The source and 01011001. Listening to the Age of Shadows It seems that The Source happened looong time ago...
The song "March of the macines" from The Source has the same melody as "Forever of the stars" from Into The Electric Castle. Makes you think eh... *tum tum tuuuum*
I also feel there is a connection between TH-1 and Forever of the Stars. After all, FotS is noted to be 'different' from the other Forevers.
also ommggg Play those two at the same time, synched up at the beginning if you really want a freaky experience
Forever of the Stars is the literal "echo on the wind" that only the blind minstrel in Final Experiment can hear. It's an embodiment of a living forever converted in a way that can physically pass through time, and while it calls out to humans and even tries to shape them to "complete the circle" by means of the Electric Castle that also exists outside of time, it realizes that it can't affect anybody permanently. I think. I don't know, it's all so convoluted and amazing.
The best song to close on of the best Albums ever! You can't compare this with nothing!
6:57-7:36
Just love it ! \m/
Goosebumps every time on Anneke's final part.
She's the greatest. Personally, goosebumps every time, ever since 2008, from 8:24 onwards.
Lucas Lima Same. And i feel the same with Marcela's voice in the final of The Human Equation
Floor's and Anneke's final lines are epic. I always get back to this part multiple times <3
It gave me chills everytime I hear this part
Probably my favorite song of all time.
Is there an album better than this one? I think it isn't. Sounds better than anything
Julio: As true as that may be, I can't get enough of Nils in The Source...
Is it lame to mention The Human Equation?
Ah, screw it.
I like The Human Equation...
The Human Equation is better balanced and a better album in my opinion. This album have bad things like the weak "Web of Lies" or the random "Connect the Dots". "THE" is almost perfect.
Agreed with all of you, but my personal best album from Arjen Is Universal Migrator part 1 and 2 :)
My personal favorite is the Human Equation, mainly because it is the first album I heard from Ayreon secondly because how it ties into the larger story at the very end.
What an explosive finale.
Victoria Lacroix You could say that it's "nuclear".
I'll show myself out...
Hands down, my all time favourite album closer. I always tear up at the end.
Even in the future there are onion cutting ninjas
So true. Over 30 years of metal and 9 years of this masterpiece, and it still stands unsurpassed. Google "sixth extinction biological annihilation" right now, and you'll see it's actual current news... 2085? If we're lucky.
I tear up at the end, too... every single time I listen to this song. "We give them language, What did the say? What did they learn?"... What a powerfull reflection in the times we are living. Impossible not to break up.
@GenMVeers Yeah, holocene extinction event.
We are what the meteor was for the cretaceous-paleogene extinction event, we just continue to rape this planet with our existence.
I know you from somewhere.........
Wow!
