Given that Matthew Heafy, the frontman and vocalist of Trivium, is a Japanese-American musician. It is no surprise that this song is most likely referring to the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan during the second world war. Most of the lyrics of this song are easily relatable to that situation, such a...
[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
