- Official lyric video for Dawn Of A Million Souls from the 2022 re-release of Ayreon's Universal Migrator I&II album which is OUT NOW: lnk.to/Ayreon
Both singer Sir Russell Allen and guitar player Michael Romeo of Symphony X recorded their parts in the States. I still remember when Russell played their contributions to me on the phone, I literally cried tears of joy! This song has become one of the fan’s favourites, judging from the crowd’s reaction every time we play it live.
In this re-mixed version I put Russell’s vocals more in the foreground. Personally I also think that the amazing drums by Ed Warby sound much more powerful and crisp in this new version. Hope you agree, enjoy this great video made by Dave Letelier and Wayne Joyner!
LYRICS:
"The Big Bang has created one soul, the Universal Migrator. The Universal Migrator
divides itself, and each Migrator flies off independently in search of a habitable planet
in order to breathe life into it. I follow the migrator that will eventually reach our
planet Earth."
At the birth of time, the beginning of beginnings
One cosmic soul was created
A bringer of life, a universal migrator
Born to sow its seeds in all the galaxies
Like a cell dividing, it spreads in all directions
Creating life among the stars
I'm struck with awe as I join the great migrator
Now it takes flight to the brightest star of all
On a quest for life, through the sable skies
What a show! behold!
The dawn of a million souls
On a bold crusade, in the realm of shade
What a show! behold!
The dawn of a million souls
Through the glowing mist, like a fog of radiation
I can see the forming of new planets
I've been struck by thunder as I witness all the splendor
And I realize how small we really are
Ooh, I can see forever
On the wings of dreams I fly
Is this real or is it just a fantasy?
What awaits me now at the end of this ride?

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this has one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. It’s got everything, technique, emotion, feel/blues. Michael Romeo is so underrated
I 2nd this!!!
I was just thinking the same while listening to it. 🤘
I 3rd this!
Yeah, hint to Comfotably Numb;)
No he isn't, he's respected by many..
Anyone else listened to this song hundreds of times? I love it.
Only the solos... Michael Romeo is just one of the best guitar hero alive
A special mention for Damian Wilsons AMAZING backing vocals :)
That was Damian on backup? I always thought it was just Russell doubling himself lol. Shoutout to Damian then. ^_^
@@LinkinVerbz44 It's Damian allright :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Migrator_Part_2:_Flight_of_the_Migrator
That deserves a million views
almost 2023, still Michael Romeo's greatest solo ever. I just cant get over it man, its fucking amazing.
I played this with my band in 2004, nobody knew what it was, but we were so joyful playing an Ayreon song (was the opening song)
Olha quem eu encontro por aqui! bom gosto nunca muda hehehe
@@SyX512 e o Russell Allen continua o melhor hahaha
upload the video!
heavy guitars with hammond is the best combination ever
One of the GOATs in the Ayreon discography, such a classic with that grandiose orchestral intro, heavy (catchy) main riff, soulful bluesy verses and cheeesy but infectious chorus!
Oh, and one of Romeo's best solos ever as well :)
This song is one of my favourite songs on this album- it really takes me out of this world
This was the song that got me into Ayreon in early 2000's and therefore has a really special place for me ♥
ps. Absolutely wonderful re-release! 🤘
Ännu ett mästerverk 🎵❤️🙏

Russell Allen's voice ❤😻
take a look at the song 28 days, with Russel Allen, from Star One.. there's also a version with John Jaycee Cuijpers, this other legend 😎
I am a new fan of Ayreon's music,i like this song very much, Russell is fantastic singer and the guitar solo is amazing plus the lyric video too.
It's an old song i know but it's new for me.
Welcome to the forces of Ayreon 🙌🏻
As phenomenal as this song sounds in the studio, it managed to sound even better in the Star One live show. Sir Russell needs to be in the hard rock Hall of Fame.
I love this Symphony X song!
Michael Romeo's style was such a great pick for this. It really puts the cherry on top!
Uhhh Russell Allen !
Ayreon best song
Best metal singer of all time
Best Romeo solo to this day
Don't mind me, I'm having an eargasm.
First listen after 10 years.... wow. I'm impressed!!! The drums, production, Russell Allen's out-of-this Earth's voice (literally) and Michael Romeo... what a combination from Mr. Lukassen
My god....The best ever song with a totally appropriate video clip!!! I had listened to it a thousand times many many years ago and here we go again..!!!!
I didn’t think this album could get any better. I was wrong this remix just proves that an artists work is never done. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with the world! Rock on Arjen! 🔥❤️🔥
I love how Michael Romeo's solos always complement the feeling and atmosphere of the song.
Looking forward to this. ‘Tis my favourite song on the album!
Is this real?
Or just a fantasy?
For me to his is one of the best 3 Ayreon Song's ever made.
One of the greatest Vocal Performances by Ayreon.
Together with Everybody Dies (live) & Mr. Bruce Dickinson's unbelievable Vocals.
And I can't wait for Marcel Coenen playing this Guitar Solos live on Stage!
And make some history.
Thank you for your wonderful Music,. dear Arjen!🥰
Esta sola frase "And I realize how small we really are" vale todo el disco
Still one of my favorite solos
I've heard your music for the first time this year and immediately became a fan. Thank you very much and all the best from Poland.
This has one of the ultimate guitar solos of all time in my humble opinion. And then the killer riff after the solo... Wow. It reminds me of the riffs after the solo in War pigs (Black Sabbath), Fear of the dark (Iron Maiden),... That's how you recognize a true metal classic. I love psychedelic images so hooray for the music video; And before I forget, the intro, the drums, the mix and the vocals are endlessly amazing as well. As good as it gets really. From the first time I heard it (when it came out), I had the feeling this song (and the whole album actually) were written specially for me. This feeling never left. What an bunch of artists.
The solos are out of this world, amazing work Arjen as always
I can't express how much I love this song and this album!!! Bravo! Can't wait to hear a remix of "My House on Mars" 🥰🇧🇷
This mix sounds incredible! I got a serious case of the goosies when the guitar solo kicked in. And it so good to not only hear, but also FEEL Ed! Great work, Arjen!!
Goosies is right! Cheers.
This guitar solo is my all time favourite guitar solo!!! with alter bridge blackbird...of all time!!!
hello master Arjen, it's good to see you bring amazing videos... I'm looking forward to more videos like this..
This song just gives me goosebumps all over. It’s like dopamine for the mind!
Monster performance!!!
Wow!!! Thanks for this, my favorite of all your songs, that Romeo solo is an all time great!!!
The folks who make your lyric videos are to be commended. This was AWESOME!
My fav Ayreon song and Romeo's best solo ever (and one of the best solos ever, period!), Allen's vocals are epic!
This Album was my start on an "amazing Flight in Space". The music just spoke to me and until this day, it still does. And Arjen just made a perfect Album a bit better, listening to the songs on my way to work started my day perfectly. Thank you Arjen ... and looking forward to the Sunday Concert in 2023 again ! ;)
What an epic!
This song is pure
Art 😃
Lyrically beautiful i realized now
The sound, THE SOUND! Now THIS is a remaster... perfect song, perfect mix, perfect video! Thank you Arjen, for years and years of endless entertainment... your music never ceases to amaze me! BRAVO!
The sound quality is so good I can even hear the muffins... 😉
@@AinoHiat yeah, right? Muffins, dragons and cosmic rainbows! Hugs from Italy
I think this is my favourite Ayreon song. And the fact that it benefits from the majestic Sir Russell and the beautiful Mike Romeo solo makes it a masterpiece!
I know I've said this before, but this is my favourite Ayreon Song ever.
Love everything Arjen
"Sir Russell Allen" I like that, 'tis a mighty name 😃
This song is a masterpiece and one of my absolute favourite songs by Arjen. Love it that also the guitar solo can be heard now more clear!
Every one his songs, all together is a beautiful and magical piece of music beyond compare. Is it me, or does anyone see a broadway play in all of this magical music? They music, storytelling, the musicals and don’t forget all the singers!
Hell, make a Broadway movie and put a limited showing up on the big screen. I know I would be there with many friends!
Arjen… over 20 years later and this song still kicks butt! Thank you again for sharing your creativity with the world for we are in such a better place because of it. ❤
Drums and bass are shining! And now we can hear better Damian's vocals! I'm impressed!
Una de tantas canciones superlativas de Ayreon!!! ...bueno, es que realmente lo son todas🤦. Ayreon is The Perfect Metal. Arjen genio entre los genios. Graciñas e saúdos 🤘☠️
Really outstanding re-release

WOWWW!! STUNNING visuals!! Fantastic video for my favorite song! Finally Ayreon songs get great videos that they deserve!
The first Ayreon song I listened to... fifteen years ago...
Goosebumps !!
Holy infinite stars! I have chills everywhere. How lucky are we to experience Arjen's music in our life? Damn lucky!
Russel's gives me chills, i imagined he sings me at my front 🤤
I regularly rotate through all my Ayreon albums and for the last month have been listening to Universal Migrator non stop. I must have sensed this coming.
God, just imagine listening this masterpiece remastered!! I need that album now!!
Sir Rusell Allen master class this one, I always say.
Love the visuals, really adds to the song's theme! Ayreon is my favorite

one of my favorite songs from Ayreon
Amazing as always!!! So glad that Russels end part is way clearer!!
A masterpeace.
Fantastic. Top notch
Big sound !
The sound and mix on the bass guitar in the verses are fantastic, the remix really makes this into a whole new song almost!
This is the exact song that got me hooked on Ayreon (and prog rock/metal in general) seventeen years ago, almost to the very day. Since then, Ayreon has meant more to me than almost any other band out there, and has been a vital source of joy, comfort, wonder, and inspiration for me ever since. Thank you Arjen, from the bottom of my heart. Can't wait to see you play live again next September!
Oh, and a tangential thanks for turning me on to the works of Jef Bertels. One of his originals is currently hanging proudly in my living room!
What a show!
It needs 4K. Amazing.
The heavier side of Ayreons music. I just love how you never get bored with the same singers and musicians.
Fine work Arjen! Nice remix really positions Russel's voice perfectly. Fun vid adds to this masterpiece!
Un agasajo a los oídos, que excelente canción.....
Love this, thanks Arjen geweldig nummer nog beter!
Después de tantos años, nunca esperé escuchar aún más grandiosa está canción. Un apartado visual igual de asombroso, absolutamente emocionante .
Gracias Arjen!
I can't say how exciting and fun this song is
One should like this masterpiece as soon as possible!
Wow this remix... what a show!
Calidad!!!!🥂👍
Outstanding! Congrats on the new mix Arjen!!
Mr. Russel Allen is a fantastic singer! And this music is a wonderfulls master peace!
One of the best songs ever made.. Sir. Russell.... The Voice.
Honestly; I would pay any streaming service if the entire Ayreonverse is produced as a series.
Una espera larga, pero obviamente que valdrá la pena!
Jaw dropping, goose bumps. It's the same song, yet...it's a new experience and it's goooooooood
Love the song, love the video! 🌟 🌟 🌟
I just opened my magnificent Universal Migrator boxset. One of the nicest packages I've ever received--and signed. Excellent remix and remaster. Thank you, Arjen!! You're the best.
It was fun to listen to all of it. Glad I could get in on it, it did arrive on Thursday.
Glorious, just glorious! What a song, what a singer, what a video! Everything is wonderful, LOVED it!❤❤❤❤
HELL YEAH!!!
What s song, behold the dawn of a million fans😜🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for putting together visually what I used to imagine when listening to this song 20 something years ago.
Glad that current technologies can allow these dream sequences to come into visual formation. Looking forward to seeing the Dream Sequencer Online.
Gorgeous, both the much beloved song and video! Really hope we get to hear it next year in September
