I. Echoes on the Wind
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Tom Englund, Steve Lee]
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
[Verse 2: Tom Englund, Steve Lee]
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
II. Radioactive Grave
[Bridge: Hansi Kürsch, Daniel Gildenlöw, Steve Lee, Jonas Renkse]
Do you hear the sirens?
Do you see the burst?
Do you feel the fire?
All the world's a radioactive grave!
[Bridge: Tom Englund, Bob Catley, Jørn Lande, Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen]
I can hear them crying!
I can see the fear!
I can feel them dying!
Washed away by deadly gamma waves!
[Bridge: Hansi Kürsch, Daniel Gildenlöw, Steve Lee, Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen]
Do you hear them calling?
Do you see the hurt?
Do you feel them failing?
All the world's a blazing funeral pyre!
[Bridge: Tom Englund, Bob Catley, Jørn Lande, Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen]
I can hear the wailing!
I can see the wrath!
I can feel them failing!
Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!
[Bridge: Hansi Kürsch, Daniel Gildenlöw, Steve Lee, Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen]
Do you hear the sirens?
Do you see the burst?
Do you feel the fire?
All the world's a radioactive grave!
[Bridge: Tom Englund, Bob Catley, Jørn Lande, Jonas Renkse and Floor Jansen]
I can hear them crying
I can see the fear
I can see them dying
Washed away by deadly gamma waves!
Washed away by a scorching sea of fire!
III. 2085
[Verse 3: Jonas Renkse]
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
[Chorus: Bob Catley, Steve Lee]
Don't give up, remember how we felt
Fire rushing through our veins
Ooh, 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
[Verse 4: Jonas Renkse]
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
[Chorus: Daniel Gildenlöw, Jørn Lande]
Don't give in, remember all we learned
The spark of life it did ignite
Mmm, 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!
IV. To the Planet of Red
[instrumental]
V. Spirit on the Wind
[Verse 5: Tom Englund, Steve Lee]
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
VI. Complete the Circle
[Chorus: Ensemble]
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
[Outro: Hansi Kürsch, Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Tom Englund]
Send back visions
Into the past
Of war and decay
Hear the final cries
I can see them feel
In a world without walls
Through their eyes
I see them dying
We have to teach them
Migrator soul
[Outro: Daniel Gildenlöw, Steve Lee, Bob Catley, Jørn Lande]
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 chance
We are the future
We are the pain
Complete the circle!
Aaaaah!!!!
