The stories behind Synchronize the Phase

• Heavy Riffs and Synchroscope Tension in Take B — Take B shifts into progressive metal territory, powering the electrical narrative with heavy riffs and dual solos.
• Closing the Tie Breaker on the Zero Crossing — Take A explores the technical discipline of hospital electrical synchronization through driving synth-pop.

Lyrics

Utility line crew has re -energized substation 4.

City power is hot at the main vault.

Prepare for transfer

But watch the phase angle

60 Hertz from the city, 60

Hertz on the bay

Two giant electrical rivers meeting at the break of day

If you close the tiebreaker out of sync by a hair

A million dollars of hardware explodes in the air

Infusion pumps, MRI magnets,

CT scanner rings Wiped out in a second by the surge the voltage brings

Sarah put the synchroscope on the central panel glass

Watching the golden needle spin around the glass

Phase A to Phase

A Phase B to

Phase B Waiting for the zero crossing of the electrical scene

Generator 1 is tired and hurt and lean

Time to hand the load back to the city machine

Synchronize the phase

Balance the wave Every single circuit that we worked all night to save

Watch the needle flow

Line up the peak

This is the precision that the master builders seek 3, 2,

1 Roll the heavy breaker arm

Transferring the power Without a drop of harm

Biomets, science, mathematics and time

Locking all the frequencies

Season to pure

The needle The needle

slowed its circle, pointing straight to twelve o 'clock

Serigraph of steel, handled with a steady hand

A rock slammed, a heavy contact snapped home

With a copper thunder crack

Generator one throttled down, leaning on its back

Not a single monitor flickered on the floor

Clean three -phase power

Flowing through the hospital once more

Synchronous space Balance the wave

Every single circuit that we work

Don't like to say

Watch the needle slow

Light up the peak

This is the precision that the master builders seek 3, 2,

1 Throw the heavy breaker on

Transferring the power without a drop of awe

Biomed, science, mathematics and time

Locking all the frequencies into pure

Zero,

the grid is all again

Synchro space Balance the weight

Every single circuit that we worked all night to save

Watch the needle slow

Light up the beam

is the precision that the master builders see

Three, two, one, roll the heavy, bring your arms

Transferring the power without a drop of harm

Biomed, science, mathematics, it's time

Locking all the frequencies into pure

Generator one, shut down

I'm still running on city power

Look out the window
