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 Exploring・ 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 12.
