Deception Ascension

Lyrics by Mullins and Roberts
A foundation in reason. A society underpinned by lessons learned of tyranny. Dissent from the autocratic rule over thee. And through time, institutions built on trust and norms. A common rule over the populace, bold and determined for a future.
A common rule over the populace, bold and determined for a future.
Extend the margins onward.
In fiery passion, hellish infernos forge the dreams of the few, of lore, a fictitious conception to obscure objectivity,
Who leave their own ivory tower of opulence in search of selfish values, which they accrue.
It ascends. A platform of subversion untethered from merit and virtue.
Monger of horror. The authoritarian bends the follower's mind. The illusionist guides people to their demise.

Melting Land

Lyrics by Mullins
Amid a global carbon cycle, an anthropogenic force erodes an earthly balance once shielded by permeating energy.
Emerging civilizations progressing through that which has been trapped as fuel; a world now segmented.
Consume energy.
Forebode the rising seas; migrant waves evading devastation. Cultures and lives destroyed. It can be better; to prevent human suffering.
Induced by human hands, the atmosphere is changing; a system in disorder.
Melting lands follow projected simulations. Express a progressive vital redress.
Temperature ascent: the aura of the inhabitable.
(Melting land)
The squandering by wealth of a distinguished cosmological opportunity.
The transience, or longevity, of life evolved to an advanced state.
Can it last? Can we endure?

Boundless Pilgrimage

Lyrics by Mullins
What we came to learn is that any common sense invoked must hereafter be abandoned to fully understand the universe.
(Depart from home. Impart the truth.)
To the era of testing ideas: We must reject endless failures, and reconcile through discovery. Impart the truth.
Predict using the tools of an unchanging language.
The operations of nature governing all that there is, all that there will ever be, empowering the capacity to understand—to know—a deformable fabric of space time, malleable to the significance of natural forces. Empower your capacity.
Recognize the humility of ignorance in good company.
(Depart from home. Impart the truth.)
Voids must not be filled only to rid a lack of understanding; a lack of knowing.
Incessantly unaware of multifarious truths; to assign a divine role to the gaps of knowing; forfeiting the will to investigate reality; evading the cultivation of understanding: Solutions elude mankind.
Solutions elude mankind.
The masses once resolute. Now apathy engenders the fall.
A personal saga, an outcome destined to be. A personal saga determined by the path I choose.
All my deeds, all my life: an illusion of free will.
Neurologic deception precursing every choice. Every single moment forming from natural, relentless pressures of my ethology. Ancestry transforms; altered by the zeitgeist of the age.
Yet it remains, sociobiological maxim, reigns of individuality, steer toward the future.
Steer toward the future. I will decide my history, all my deeds, all my life.
