That final choir arrangement when they are all belting it out together... It's not just the climax of this double album, it's the climax of the ENTIRE AYREON STORY, which is the story of the entire conscious universe... and you bloody know it.
It was also improvised. It's been a while, but I remember watching a version of this album on youtube showing the pages of the lyrics booklet that came with it, and it listed the names of the singers and said that they ad-libbed this part.
"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.

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.

It is at that moment that he dedicates time traveling through the dream sequencer, which tells us about some of the past lives he had before the last human being arrived not "The frame" ... I had to listen to the albums several times to be able to raise this xD) 10.- The flight of the Migrator ("the frame" wants to travel to the beginning of everything, and it does this is represented through CHAOS, ... without realizing it reaches "where everything started" because it manages to contemplate the birth of the first universal migrator, recited in the majestic "Dawn of a million souls "... after this he travels through the different galactic phases of the universe with the first migrator ... finally arriving at the solar system, where the dream sequencer explodes, it is there where the first migrator tells" the frame "that he is the new migrator, since it was his destiny, revealed through the different signs he had," the frame "accepts to be the new migrant to save humanity from its extinction in the only way that was possible, staying as a single soul ...) Opinions?
You are correct; and if we don’t close the causality loop and push past 2085 and keep our emotions we will be entangled within a loop of suffering; for we didn’t listen many a time before. We and AI have a chance too; but unless we work together the loop stays the same.
It's scary to think we are making the world unliveable. I hope we can stay in touch with nature and our emotions, and take care of the earth. And not to be 'mindless' consumers and producers. We have to take responsibility for our lives and the planet.
I thought Transititus wasn't a part of the Ayreon story? Actual Fantasy is also more of an anthology of stories that could fit in the world but are just side songs, But The memory remains from Timeline is a song that caps off the story and is about the Migrator talking to the Martian colonist after the Universal Migrator album. I think the human equation is also just some way that the forever were experiencing emotions, maybe using the program to live through human lives? Its probably up to interpetation.
The greatest Ayreon song, and the greatest Ayreon album-closer. Phenomenal from star(t) till finish, each movement making sense, and having multiple high points ("Radioactive Grave", THAT Keyboard solo, and the final ad libs).
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"
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 :]

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!

Cos'hanno imparato? Non abbiamo scelta siamo il futuro siamo il dolore completa il cerchio!

So this song talks about a lot of different things that either happen in or are the main premise of other albums, but in a way that actually makes the relative timeframes and order of even harder to pin down....
It not just this song; the whole album acts like a time frame that touches on the rest of the Ayre in discography up to that point, while also telling an origin story.
I think I follow it pretty clearly. Forevers are a race that lost emotions over billions of years, they put their DNA on a comet that crashed into Earth, then in 2084 there was a nuclear war that killed everyone. Only confusing part is the last man living was on Mars in the great migrator but this makes it seem like he's on Earth.
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*
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.
@@williamsmith666 Always gets the best out of his singers.. just compare Floor, Karevik, LaBrie, Nils K. Rue's work with Ayreon to Nightwish, Kamelot, Dream Theater and Pagan's mind. Way more diversity on display with Ayreon (and Seventh Wonder, in Tommy Karevik's case)!
I can't even decide. I like this album. The Electric Castle and The Source just as much. Although The castle has a distinct lack of Hansi singing in it :P
Teofil Raicu I like Into the Electric Castle too, specially because of the concept. And what tp say about the Source? Its simply incredible. And although many people don't like I appreciate the sonority from Theory of Everything. But if I'd have to choose just one it would be 01
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
@Arjen, who is singing at ua-cam.com/video/HJD5YmVPa-s/v-deo.html? Is it Annike? She rips my heart out in this run!!! Everything you touch is a masterpiece, sir!
Cette vidéo lorsque on la partage montre une vidéo pornographique!!! Au risque de se faire sanctionner immédiatement! Scandaleux! Honte à celui(ou celle) qui s'est livré à ce truc vicieux😡
The real world is going the same way slowly, i don't think i will stay alive in 2085 xD Maybe Elon musk already conquered mars around 2030s and after 2100 only androids and animals will exist on earth, like Nier Automata.
![Ayreon - The Theory of Everything - Phase IV [Lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
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.
.... and sang by one of the greatest rock singers.
Its literally the best line ever.
Very Camus.
What an explosive finale.
Victoria Lacroix You could say that it's "nuclear".
I'll show myself out...
Doesn't get any better. Amazing closer!
That final choir arrangement when they are all belting it out together... It's not just the climax of this double album, it's the climax of the ENTIRE AYREON STORY, which is the story of the entire conscious universe... and you bloody know it.
It was also improvised. It's been a while, but I remember watching a version of this album on youtube showing the pages of the lyrics booklet that came with it, and it listed the names of the singers and said that they ad-libbed this part.
"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!
[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 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!!!!
Hero
Hero
I've never heard a song that was so passionate, sad, and exciting all at once.
Hands down, my all time favourite album closer. I always tear up at the end.
God damn I always tear up at the end too. I did right now as well
Even in the future there are onion cutting ninjas

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
It gave me chills everytime I hear this part
You can truly 'see through their eyes' in that moment.
SEND BACK VISIONS
INTO THE PAST
OF WAR AND DECAY!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAH
this song hits the climax in a perfect way 10/10
Hansi Kürsch is out of this world ..
... and Anneke a few moments later ... wow
Outro = goosebumps and cold shivers. Every. Single. Time.
The "Migrator Soul" part is just... Just...
It usually moves me to tears. (Migrator Soul = My Greater Soul)
My Ayreon's cronology:
1.- The Source (here starts all)
2.- 01011001 (The forever sends a message to the past ...Ayreon has been received the message in final experiment)
3.- The Final experiment (Ayreon knows when the humanity will dies but he as taked by Merlin "the outcome of the final experiment has now been placed in your hands" in 01011001 has a reference, from E=mc2, when the frame prepare the message ¿is TH1 the frame?)
4.- Into the Electric Castle (The frame recall the forevers of the past, ¿Ayreon the troubadour and the Hippie are the same?)
5.- Transitus (Daniel meets limb, but...i think what transitus is the dimension after the elctric castle)
6.- Actual Fantasy (this is a transicion the technology and the web invades the humans and preludes the "fourth extinction" the humanity has lost his emotions)
7.- The Theory of everything (The prodigy has a link with daniel, because the conflict with his father... i think what Daniel and The prodigy are the same but in past life)
8.- The Human Equation (¿Are the prodigy in his actual life? are the same link with his father, and has a reference with Daniel in Transitus, ¿are the same in several lives in time?
9.- The Dream sequencer (i thinlk what TH1 is the human what has taked for be the frame ...and the frame probably was the human in comatose It wouldn't be about anyone but the prodigy adult "I" in the human equation that woke up after the confrontation...And when he saw that he was the only human being left on Mars, he decided to travel in time to save humanity from its destiny, he was the only one who could, as he solved with his father the theory of everything, which would later be called " human equation "since by possessing it in his mind, being in a coma they encapsulated him to be able to use his brain skills for different experiments, through which his subconscious partially awakened, his mind acted through a program like TH 1, and his body encapsulated is the proptotype THE FRAME, but when he remembered his past at that time he realized that humans had to disappear, for this they had to spend many years from the accident he had in his car, until 2085, where after finally facing his Emotions triumphs and reawakens ... It is at that moment that he dedicates time traveling through the dream sequencer, which tells us about some of the past lives he had before the last human being arrived not "The frame" ... I had to listen to the albums several times to be able to raise this xD)
10.- The flight of the Migrator ("the frame" wants to travel to the beginning of everything, and it does this is represented through CHAOS, ... without realizing it reaches "where everything started" because it manages to contemplate the birth of the first universal migrator, recited in the majestic "Dawn of a million souls "... after this he travels through the different galactic phases of the universe with the first migrator ... finally arriving at the solar system, where the dream sequencer explodes, it is there where the first migrator tells" the frame "that he is the new migrator, since it was his destiny, revealed through the different signs he had," the frame "accepts to be the new migrant to save humanity from its extinction in the only way that was possible, staying as a single soul ...) Opinions?
You are correct; and if we don’t close the causality loop and push past 2085 and keep our emotions we will be entangled within a loop of suffering; for we didn’t listen many a time before. We and AI have a chance too; but unless we work together the loop stays the same.
It's scary to think we are making the world unliveable. I hope we can stay in touch with nature and our emotions, and take care of the earth. And not to be 'mindless' consumers and producers. We have to take responsibility for our lives and the planet.
I thought Transititus wasn't a part of the Ayreon story? Actual Fantasy is also more of an anthology of stories that could fit in the world but are just side songs, But The memory remains from Timeline is a song that caps off the story and is about the Migrator talking to the Martian colonist after the Universal Migrator album.
I think the human equation is also just some way that the forever were experiencing emotions, maybe using the program to live through human lives? Its probably up to interpetation.
Came here for 1 song, this is the sixth one now.
Ayreon is an opus, one cant just listen to one song
me too, waking dreams and the following songs go sooo well together
Probably my favorite song of all time.
I went to add this to my "Favourites" playlist, but of course it was already there.
The greatest Ayreon song, and the greatest Ayreon album-closer.
Phenomenal from star(t) till finish, each movement making sense, and having multiple high points ("Radioactive Grave", THAT Keyboard solo, and the final ad libs).
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
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"
The final 4 minutes of this song are just so epic. The violin with the guitar such a beautiful rift!
Ohhh, so damn good is to get back to this fenomental music! 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 :]
I love how Steve Lee's optmistic phrase and scream "I know we'll make it in the eeeend, AAAAAAAAAOOOOOWWW, lites to the warniiing"
This is the type of song that's so awesome I can literally write a five-page essay about how awesome it is.
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 !!!!
Those Complete the circle trade offs ... just pure goosebumps.
one of my favorites to come back to =)
Arjen scratches an itch no other artist can
best final ever
Summer 2010, a good friend of mine from Germany sent me this song... Ever since, I'm a die hard fan!
I love your music Ayreon 😎👑. Peace and Love to you all ♥️
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!

One of the best songs ever
Imagine this live...
My god that was good!
The best song to close on of the best Albums ever! You can't compare this with nothing!
Who sings and screams from minute 10:58 to the end ?
joe
So nostalgic end !!! I want more of them !!! Don’t give up and go on !!!
Humanity: we need more ayreon!
The wonderful song ......magnifica!!!!!!!🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
The world is in its darkest timeline. We need healing, now more than ever. Make us whole, migrator soul. Complete the circle.
masterpiece, this song put me througth the hardest parts of my life, when i desire death this comes as hope. epic, beautiful, meaningfull, Art.
6:57-7:36
Excellent work!😀
8:33 when the violin starts... amazing
Still listening!!! 2019 Best song ever!!!
So this song talks about a lot of different things that either happen in or are the main premise of other albums, but in a way that actually makes the relative timeframes and order of even harder to pin down....
It not just this song; the whole album acts like a time frame that touches on the rest of the Ayre in discography up to that point, while also telling an origin story.
I think I follow it pretty clearly. Forevers are a race that lost emotions over billions of years, they put their DNA on a comet that crashed into Earth, then in 2084 there was a nuclear war that killed everyone. Only confusing part is the last man living was on Mars in the great migrator but this makes it seem like he's on Earth.
Perfection .
Thank you for sharing Arjen!
Just love it ! \m/
Thanks, claw papa!
Stop the machines, prepare to die! Arjen, you're brilliant! 🙏🏻💖👏
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.
I thought Jonas Renske couldn't growl anymore
I was wrong
Arjen can be very convincing if it comes to it.
@@williamsmith666 Always gets the best out of his singers.. just compare Floor, Karevik, LaBrie, Nils K. Rue's work with Ayreon to Nightwish, Kamelot, Dream Theater and Pagan's mind. Way more diversity on display with Ayreon (and Seventh Wonder, in Tommy Karevik's case)!
Bravo Arjen
The best!
The Sixth Extinction is here! Listen to the warning! Listen to Mr.L
Am I the only one that thinks all of this is real
Love to hear Jonas growl again
Wow the outro is amazing, the live version is better I think, this version is great also
Oh!
God damn I forgot how fucking good this album is
Steve's voice, though.
Is there an album better than this one? I think it isn't. Sounds better than anything
I can't even decide. I like this album. The Electric Castle and The Source just as much. Although The castle has a distinct lack of Hansi singing in it :P
Teofil Raicu I like Into the Electric Castle too, specially because of the concept. And what tp say about the Source? Its simply incredible. And although many people don't like I appreciate the sonority from Theory of Everything. But if I'd have to choose just one it would be 01
Yea. 01. The plot. The.. everything else. :D
Teofil Raicu Same !!! The Source has a distinct lack of Anneke , that’s my only complain.
Julio: As true as that may be, I can't get enough of Nils in The Source...
We have seriously to talk about Tom Englund's "I see them dyieeeng, we have to teach theem, Migrator Souuuuuuuulll"
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
F. Epic !!!!
steve lee eternal! ❤
@Arjen, who is singing at ua-cam.com/video/HJD5YmVPa-s/v-deo.html? Is it Annike? She rips my heart out in this run!!! Everything you touch is a masterpiece, sir!
That is Anneke van Giersbergen, yeah. I really love her vocals there too, they're probably my favourite on the entire album.
from claw
Amazing end! Holly smokes!
!!!!GREAAEAAETTT!1!!
I like this 1000000 times more than anything dream theater has produced from 2002 onwards...
😍🎼🎼
I've never understood the "Follow you home" part.
Ad hoc in this times of collapse.
1:33 3:40 3:55
4:55
cool
A masterpiece Arjen
16Jan23, still a masterpiece
On one hand extinction.
Who does the grunting in part 2?
Jonas Renske
Hope I'm still alive in 2085
Children: we listened to this
Is it pronounced I Reign???
Is what pronounced?
@@lightdrgn20 "Ayreon", probably
@@cecilia.santana, perhaps.
Parents: we tried ... and failed
ape eye bai bei say hi
2085
Cette vidéo lorsque on la partage montre une vidéo pornographique!!! Au risque de se faire sanctionner immédiatement! Scandaleux! Honte à celui(ou celle) qui s'est livré à ce truc vicieux😡
The real world is going the same way slowly, i don't think i will stay alive in 2085 xD Maybe Elon musk already conquered mars around 2030s and after 2100 only androids and animals will exist on earth, like Nier Automata.
