Detonation
Emission Phase
1. Invoking The Impact
Reveries of a futile world
Approaching my deepest fears
Prophecies that ghostly unfold
The blindness of 61 years
This is the ending of all
This is the day we shall fall
From the depths of our souls we must crawl
Ever since the birth of Trinity (July 16, 1945)
We are marching towards our banishment
In contempt with our own divinity
Will I ever comprehend?
In this day and age we wander
Awaiting the things to come
Through these times of slumber
Have we already foreseen it all?
This is the ending of all
This is the day we shall fall
From the depths of our souls we must crawl
Too many questions that haunt me
The answers are hard to find
Structural torment without an end
Revelation to the blind
[Lead: Romeijn]
'From the edge of Distress
We will never surpass
Innovation belongs to the past'
This is the ending of all
This is the day we shall fall
From the depths of our souls we must crawl
Ever since the birth of Trinity
We are marching towards our banishment
In contempt with our own divinity
Will I ever comprehend?
2. When Stone Turns To Ash
A growing mass developing
Useless bodies vanishing
Dark side perception
Dynamic pressure forcing ground
Sickness spread in full contempt
Faster than the waves of sound
Fire rages with flair
Visible splendour exposed
Erasing that on which we depend
When stone turns to ash
Our minds divorced from flesh
Learn from these tears
Rise from the fire and leave your world ablaze
Never stand down, never submit
Time is now to rise!
Now is when we show our pride
Now is when we stand and fight
Now is when we pay the price
Now is when we chose to die
My sight has been ruined by the blast
Extermination of innumerable lives
Towards salvation's end I falter
The frail ends of misery surpassed
Next phase approaching
The essence of pain revealed
Its heart filled with blasphemy
Its trail saturated with violence
[Lead: Romeijn]
When stone turns to ash
Our minds divorced from flesh
3. Craven Ablaze
Virtue has been drawn away
Your shadow set ablaze
Your destiny to follow through
Who will lead you through this maze?
Craven, through the ages
Craven, as we bury ourselves in shame
I am the deaf king in the land of the blind
My sight decays with every day that passed by
I am the one who knew though I never spoke
Lightning spells out my name, its disgrace I invoke
Craven, through the ages
Craven, as we bury ourselves in shame
Fighting to be heard
Thoughts beyond your self-control
Guiding me towards your shadow
Free me from your seductive soul
[Lead: Ferguson]
Down the chosen way
Where streets are paved with gold
Summoning the presence of light
I stand alone as this disaster unfolds
[Lead: Romeijn]
Craven, through the ages
Craven, as we bury ourselves in shame
Fighting to be heard
Thoughts beyond your self-control
Guiding me towards your shadow
Free me from your seductive soul
4. Chokedamp
Hidden beneath the surface
Colliding with think lower clouds
Where layers are formed
Along the dark serrated floors
When the candle lights fade
Options are instantly decimated
All solutions are erased
And by now, your lungs deadly carbonated
Chokedamp
In silence you gain admiration
Extinguisher of light
Origin of damnation
Light killing blackdamp
Combustible sources that feed from the fires
Pathways are blocked
Your senses gone numb
Primal instincts now activated
All systems are in shock
And by now, hope to prevail has been decimated
Chokedamp
In silence you gain admiration
Extinguisher of light
Origin of damnation
[Lead: Ferguson]
Physical unstableness
Our minds assaulted with chemicals
Heads lost in the dark
There will be no place left o hide
Light killing blackdamp
[Lead: Romeijn]
[2nd Lead: Romeijn]
Chokedamp
In silence you gain admiration
Extinguisher of light
Origin of damnation
5. Defects Of The Isolated Mind
Insanity has come
The strength unveiled
Its fury unleashed
From a place once concealed
I have failed to see
Failed to learn
Is this the end of my fall?
Or am I still falling?
I'm awake, but dreaming
I'm dead, yet breathing
I cannot face reality
I cannot avoid fatality
You can't deny my suffering
Just taste the aura of pain that is surrounding me
A rejection of light so easy to see
I'm trapped in a world of sodomy
I have failed to see
Failed to learn
Is this the end of my fall?
Or am I still falling?
Awake, but dreaming
I'm dead, yet breathing
I cannot face reality
I cannot avoid fatality
[Lead: Ferguson]
[2nd Lead: Ferguson]
[3rd Lea: Romeijn]
Awake, but dreaming
I'm dead, yet breathing
I cannot face reality
I cannot avoid fatality
6. Modulate
Modulation
Beyond a state of reckoning
As I welcome the unknown
My shallow world is crumbling
Saving my heart from dying
Too many boundaries
I have yet to overcome
Fighting for domination
I'm changing my view tonight
Starting the infliction
Leaving these wasted eyes behind
Creating distance with words
Decimating wisdom with lies
Feasting from my soul
My patience declines
And repulsion evolves
Too many boundaries
I have yet to overcome
Fighting for domination
I'm changing my view tonight
Starting the infliction
Leaving these wasted eyes behind
Into fields of deformity
Where thoughts form into one
Where logic seems beyond repair
The shadow that I have become
This pulsing urge I feel
Where to find my needs?
Observer of unbearable acts
Festering from the inside out
Within the borders of tolerance
We are being put to the test
The breakdown of our system
Only the dead are allowed to rest
[Lead: Ferguson]
7. Into The Emission Phase
[Lead: Romeijn]
When curtains fall
Moments surpass in time
Invocation of our greatest fear
Accepting this great decline
I've questioned it all a million times
Through the simplicity that aspects combine
[Lead: Romeijn]
Drained towards oblivion
The fading of clouds amidst a burning sun
Entering the emission phase
The spirits that once formed us
Their guidance now lost
I'm trying to find those delicate words
Yet I'm craving into hopelessness
The spirits that once formed us
Their guidance now lost
As the discharge pours down upon us
I've questioned it all a million times
Through the simplicity that aspects combine
You embrace your decay as if it was mine
Awaiting the emission as the flash goes by
Changing my awareness, my perception of time
[Lead: Romeijn]
Entering the emission phase
The spirits that once formed us
Their guidance now lost
8. Infected
In desolation we stand above all
The ignorant fools we have become
Into these depths we must fall
The downfall has just begun
[Lead: Romeijn]
Within my shelter I await
The wrath of the innocent dead
A promise has been made
Infected souls bound to be shred
The process gaining in strength
With every stone that fractures
We are joining the misery at its end
Breeding from the hatred it captures
Infected
Infected from head to heel
We've building our structures to last
Then why are we destined to perish?
[Lead: Romeijn]
[Lead: Ferguson]
The barriers are set and raised
Raised high towards the heavens
Do you know where to run and hide?
When our grounds turn to useless waste
Infected
Infected from head to heel
We've building our structures to last
Then why are we destined to perish?
9. 2nd Sun Ascending
[Music: Mike Ferguson, Koen Romeijn]
[Instrumental]
10. Soul Severance
Dust replacing my darkened blood
Ready to take this turning point
I cannot stop the being I'm destined to become
Growing in need for my soul to depart
This is barely an option
This is no way to be
Exploringă»
Witness the vile frustration
Emerging from my soul
Taste it and follow me down
Down into oblivion
This is barely an option
This is no way to be
Exploring the paths of friction
Denying the options I see
[Lead: Romeijn]
[Lead: Ferguson]
Inferior as I grow to be
Relieving myself of thoughts
No need for guidance
A condition I have learned to see
Separation from my soul
Detachment of my fears
At one with my darkness
The meltdown of all control
This is barely an option
This is no way to be
Exploring the paths of friction
Denying the options I see
11. Reborn From The Radiance
[Acoustic Leads: Ferguson]
Craving for consistency
Towards and beyond a deficiency
Poison to my fragile mind
In search for a critical silence
Healing these wounds from the past
Existence has lost its balance
A covenant written in violence
Life's spawn contaminated
[Lead: Romeijn]
As I try to neglect this demise
Old ways are no longer of use
Fall of a shallow disguise
All the promises we have been breaking
All the sickness we have been faking
In battle with frailty
My fragile walls shall withstand the trail of time
Reborn from the radiance
Life's spawn contaminated
A weak foundation of scars
Life's creation devastated
The pain arrives in chapters
[Lead: Romeijn]
[Lead: Ferguson]
Craving for consistency
Towards and beyond a deficiency
Poison to my fragile mind
Reborn from the radiance
Life's spawn contaminated
A weak foundation of scar
Life's creation devastated
