Detonation Lyrics by Trivium

The Crusade

2006

[Verse 1]
That's the sound of humanity melting away
Say goodbye, it's the end of days
Fire rains down on the American dream
Watch all you love seethe and scream

[Refrain]
Each will dig their own graves
And bury themselves in life's failures

[Verse 2]
It's our bombs, we've masterminded lighting the skies
Hideous misfires, many die
Those who survive soon will suffocate
By the poisons we create

[Refrain]
Each will dig their own graves
And bury themselves in life's failures

[Breakdown]
Detonation
Detonation

[Bridge]
When civilization crumbles, man will turn
On one another, killing true

[Solo: Heafy / Beaulieu]

[Breakdown]
The darkest of times will then come to be
Through our selfish killer instincts

[Chorus]
And now the ground we called our home
Is but a barren wasteland
And now the ground we called our home
(We called our home)
Is but a barren wasteland
(Is but a barren wasteland)
The only sound drowning your cries
(The only sound drowning your cries)
Is the detonation

[Solo: Heafy]

[Bridge]
It seems we're running out of time
(It seems we're running out of time)
All good as dead; just stand in line
(All good as dead; just stand in line)
It seems we're running out of time
(It seems we're running out of time)
All good as dead; just stand in line
(Stand in line)

[Solo: Beaulieu]

[Chorus]
And now the ground we called our home
Is but a barren wasteland
And now the ground we called our home
(We called our home)
Is but a barren wasteland
(Is but a barren wasteland)
The only sound drowning your cries
(The only sound drowning your cries)
Is the detonation
