The Sixth Extinction
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've seen it all before
It's the end of man's evolution
The end of the evolution
For nobody heeds the echoes on the wind
Do you hear the sirens?
Do you see the burst?
Do you feel the fire?
(All the world's a radioactive grave!)
I can hear them crying!
I can see the fear!
I can feel 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 feel 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 a radioactive grave!)
I can hear them crying!
I can see the fear!
I can feel them dying!
(Washed away by deadly gamma waves!)
(All the world's a blazing funeral pyre!)
(Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!)
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 year 2085
Don't give in, remember all we learned
The spark of life, it 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!
He's the last man alive
(Searching for the answers)
Knowing he won't survive
(To the mystery of life)
Relives the past, and dreams of the future
(Dreaming of the future)
And soon he'll set free
(And the sleeper will awake)
His spirit on the wind!
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!
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!
Send back visions into the past
Of war and decay!
Hear the final cries!
I can see the fear
In a world without walls
Through their eyes
I see them dying!
We have to teach them!
Migrator soul!
We regained our will to fight!
We regained
We found a way!
I know we'll make it in the end
Listen to the warning!
We gave them language
What did they say?
What did they learn?
We have no choice
We are the future
We are the pain!
Complete the Circle!
Ah!
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've seen it all before
It's the end of man's evolution
The end of the evolution
For nobody heeds the echoes on the wind
Do you hear the sirens?
Do you see the burst?
Do you feel the fire?
(All the world's a radioactive grave!)
I can hear them crying!
I can see the fear!
I can feel 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!)
