Presage 01:41
The future has arrived. Is this what we seek? We've felt the consequence of resting faith in the meek We chart a course for evolution to accelerate Together, reformed, our path will deviate

Demise It seems the damage is done Now parasite and host will suffer as one In time At the rate which we succumb This earth will meet its end long before the sun Vile We strip the very rights We strive to acquire Through erratic yet static movements Defile Dismiss all forms of life And grant the very right to exist To only those that are human Deepening our depravity Only to vanquish as we gain The air runs thick with disease Primal control masquerades as growth We bury what crumbles before us The Oceans swell, the forests combust A species crushed by the weight of insignificance Deepening our depravity Only to meet a shallow grave; What's left of our home Yet our potential evokes a constant longing for more In pursuit of all we know we can be A shift in focus Through redesign; we amend A lift up from our descent to deviate, rejuvenate and thrive on the path we lay In silence, we captivate It's more than hope required To change behavior An outstretched arm needs a spine to anchor Compassion means action But this is where we fail Force your guilt and fear below Losing our vibrance as time erodes We grow from truth we cannot feel But it seems we'll have to drown to discern what's real Lost in denial of ecological genocide Our case of extinction Biospheric Homicide It seems the damage is done Now parasite and host will suffer as one From within not from above We form to recreate what can't be undo A shift in focus Through redesign; we amend A lift up from our descent to deviate, rejuvenate and thrive on the path we lay In silence, we captivate A rift that closes To redefine and transcend The boundaries that we defend From opacity, to clarity we bask in the harshest of light A bittersweet ecstasy

Our time and blood are currency Squabble we may, we know this much with certainty Feeding a dystopian prerogative From which our suffering defines our derivative Subliminal coercion we fail to comprehend subjection we defend, complicit in the end To challenge the dystopian prerogative The dialogue must become provocative The constructs of our system, hinging on mass creation The tools we possess, to grow and progress, exploited in devastation Vengeance misdirected, self destructive when disconnected Divergence from this direction, an outward action through introspection Violence enacted upon one another The antithesis of strength in numbers We stain the rug we're swept under The oppression of those who already suffer Reality knows no forgiveness Vengeance misdirected Will devastate the world's defenseless We will reclaim the earth Or the earth will reclaim us in turn No matter the outcome, A paradise will rise from oblivion We will reclaim the earth Or the earth will reclaim us in turn An end to complacent insanity Let triumph rise from, catastrophe An evolution beyond disparity Let triumph rise from catastrophe Vengeance Devastates the world's defenseless Misdirected, incessant As we follow in the footsteps of the corrupt Our time and blood are currency Squabble we may, we know this much with certainty The choice is ours, to revolt and revitalize Or stand complicit in planetary omnicide The casualties of our own crimes An evolution beyond disparity Let triumph rise from catastrophe A revolution born from necessity Let triumph rise from tragedy

Despite distraction, corruption and adversity  The force of reason permeates the absurdity And though these voices may fall on deaf ears  They've spoken clearly for those who can hear  A growing vision, a message reprised  The numbers will climb, the truth will arise  words alone can't bring an end  To our modern atrocity  But can evoke passion and action  Delivered with ferocity  The boundaries weaken On common ground we've built our beacon  With what life is ours, we strive and unite  It stands to reason Without control life lacks its meaning  The reclamation of our time is imminent Our source of freedom resonates in unity  The numbers will climb, the truth will arise The force of reason is not restricted to passivity We've already tested the limits of modern diplomacy In desperation, we seize the opportunity All that's conceivable rests on the strength of unity

The Enigma 03:26
A rift through the bounds of time, in limbo To translate the writing on the wall, and peer through the window Now recalculate; the emergent factors we face are abysmal Perceive with clarity; behold: the enigma A dynamic force amongst a static pulse a volatile recourse, to keep control It drifts between the space unseen, the echoes of our torment to break stagnation, our detachment from the present moment Burdened are the hands with which we shape our future the enigmatic transcend bounds of time and culture It drifts between the space unseen To evoke the cold truths of our reality Gone are the days to separate, we feel the lost cause Structures proliferate the violence in our flaws Burdened are the hands with which we shape our future the enigmatic transcend bounds of time and culture The enigmatic transcend bounds of time With post-traumatic visions brought to life A rift through the bounds of time A rift through the bounds of time, to erode our stigma Perceive with clarity; become: the enigma

The mind contorts as the picture drains of pigment Eyes distort as the truth devolves to figment  Daft, depraved and distraught Condemn their lives without thought Through darkened haze  Primitive and Pestiferous  A narrowed gaze  Sees only surface level differences A baseless hierarchy Formed from the constructs of biology I am the weak, insidious and ignorant  As such I preach, the lowest form of prejudice  The catalyst for our moral disintegration Let focus fail, through this chromatic aberration  The lens of humanity  Through unchecked subconscious animosity Weak. Putrid A feeble, willful apathy  These actions speak invidious indifference  A product of deep self hatred and bitterness  Discriminate based on the uncontrollable And justify by that which is intangible Weak. Putrid.  The truth has become lucid  Devolve and desecrate  The picture drains of all pigment No time to progress, to ponder, or to contemplate  This mind's preoccupied indulging in hate  Anatomy selectively used in our favor  Through intellect too frail to grasp its own failure  A mind to frail to grasp its own failure  Disengaged from all forms of empathy The psychosis grows, prevailing above all Compassion left within the walls of this delusion  A mind too frail to see its own deterioration  I am the weak, insidious and ignorant As such I preach, the lowest form of prejudice The catalyst for our moral disintegration Let focus fail, through this chromatic aberration The mind contorts as the picture drains of pigment Colors bleed as denial distorts the image  Daft, depraved and distraught Condemn their lives without thought  Weak. Putrid.  The truth has become lucid  Devolve and desecrate The picture drains of all pigment  Putrid. The truth has become lucid The picture drains of all pigment  Devolve and desecrate

An age old plague tiraded with false dominance  A cognitive subjugation of the populace The acceptance of senselessness through blatant fiction  Demystified and deciphered with retrodiction  The corrosion of compassion through subservience A divine deception rendering the mind impervious The perversion of propriety  Embedded in the pillars of a sick society  In only our species, the otherwise sane and rational believe in the billions, without hesitation  What only the profoundly insane  would believe in isolation  Embody the horrors that the text insinuates  Subjectify that which you can't substantiate  The world's greatest unions yield null results  A pedophelic, primeval and pestilent cult  Our endless faith, a failure to extrapolate  Millenia of advancements we repudiate Censored and vague, the masking of false Providence  A cognitive subjugation of the populace Centuries of control has procured a grand destabilization  Inferior ideas, incompatible with civilization  The perversion of propriety Embedded in the pillars of a sick society We reject this worldview of simplicity The propagation of fabricated divinity  Not lost, but suffering. Where is your savior? So with conviction:  Condemn the fiction, the fraud the failure  The ancient disease, brought forth to indoctrinate  Sees little resistance, from the masses it cultivates 
9.
Oversimplification, cultural infatuation Foolish dismissal of technological integration  In the face of the future we fold and we cower A failure to embrace our progress as power  Unrestricted human ambition, is the basis of our evolution The script of time must flip To form a new chapter, and not a conclusion  Departure from our passivity  Perceived as adversity  The drive for improvement replaced by futility Fixation with the obsolete only delays the inevitable  As knowledge built through time is irreversible  The dull and the mundane require automation  To liberate our imaginations It seems with advancement comes intimidation  Yet we remain, our sole limitation The fog of tradition, it blocks out the sky As the new age dawns, we still cling to the night  In the face of the future we fold and we cower A failure to embrace our progress as power Our progress is power, as reality bends at our command  Our progress is power, as the universe rests in our  hands  Embrace the power of unrestricted ambition This is the basis for our evolution  The archaic grip, the script of time, it must be flipped  We are a new chapter and not a conclusion The fog of tradition and culture blocks the sky As the new age dawns, we still cling to the night  The universe rests in our hands  As we resolve to understand.. our progress as power

about

This is another 100% self-produced record, and one that we really took our time with. We did our best to stretch our creative abilities and deliver a sound, and a message that's musically, as well as conceptually relevant to the times. "Deviate" covers a range of societal topics and human behaviors that we feel the world should be breaking away from, with music that we feel is the best representation and expression of that perspective. A concept album that takes the meaning of "Perlocution" another step further.
