Presage

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

Planetary Omnicide
04:58
|
|||
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

The Force Of Reason
03:40
|
|||
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

Maniacal Chromaticism
04:05
|
|||
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

Cultivate The Masses
04:24
|
|||
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

Progress As Power
03:27
|
|||
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
