  • 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

    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.
